Believe they still do horse slaughter in Mexico? We all have to love the soul of a good horse...and they don't move well after they are aged. That's why I still have 12. Youngest is 15 now. A got out, mistake breeding. Most all are late 20's to mid 30s. Maybe a 4-her would like them. They have used them in this area for shows, driving, etc. Sized just right for a young one.
All I can say about DH -- MEN !!!
You would think he would like to have a private driver. My late DH loved it! Hope he got there ok and all goes well.
DD -- yeah, we all agree. Longer drive but change would be worse. Even with bars up, maybe he tried to get up alone and fell. Even at home, remember how you have these "how did you do this?" times. Well, I did. They have moments of thinking they can, they try, they can't. Honestly 24/7 doesn't even work all the time. He probably won't ever settle over your mom because he no longer has the capacity to understand and retain...it appears. This dementia is hard on the whole family. Watch and hope, can't change it.
I milked last night. My gal with the now 16 mo old doeling she still lets nurse! Seems missy hasn't been drinking of late, so I milked her out. Some resistance, not major. I think she liked the relief. Need to re set my milking area to do more of them in a couple weeks. When I pull some kids.
Hope to move all bucklings out of the field next week as it "looks like" I will have 4 days off.
Mini vacay - work week. Field is ready, just have to corner them. I am thinking I may band them.....but, Rosh Hashanah is mid Sept and I want to sell them. They like them intact. They are quite nice and have considered keeping one but, probably not. Rather have the $$ than freezer fill. Next year I will have plenty of them with 15 bred does!
See, FEM, you can feel better about your numbers. Hey, get any of those kids ready for Sept sales.
Not well at all.
