These are our newest additions to the Alderspring horse herd. It’s always nice when we can pick up two colts at a time. They’re in a new place, with unfamiliar sights and sounds, and the transition is a lot less stressful for them if they have a friend. – Melanie

While my filly might be a little standoffish, she’s also very aware of her surroundings. I appreciate that about her; a horse that is watching out for themselves is a lot safer in rough terrain.

In last weeks newsletter we shared photos of building and hanging our diatomaceous earth dusting bag. The diatomaceous earth helps the cattle naturally combat lice and other bugs. We’ve been refining the design and added two contact points for the bag to hang from to keep it from spinning. Photo credit Josh Whitling.

Feeding time is the perfect time to check the herd and make sure no one is showing signs of illness or injury. We look for things like how fast the cows approach the hay wagon (most come running; those that lag all get a careful second look), swelling, stiff movements, if their noses are running, their breathing is labored, or they are coughing. These all provide clues as to their overall health, and help us spot any animals in need of extra care. Photo credit Josh Whitling.
