That's a nice looking spread you got there. Did you bail the hay yourself or buy it?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Bought the hay. Same source last 15 yrs. High quality.
Badger is doing ok. Have to reduce his grass intake...too rich this year. Sugar in grass, he can't process properly and it turns toxic in blood leading to lameness. Have to really watch it.

Dry hay. The sugar is called Fructan. The condition is called laminitis or more commonly "founder".

I remember hay season, we cut our own.
Once in late May, then again late Aug., first of Sept.
But we no longer have any livestock.

Good lookin place you have there RR.
Good the hear Badger is better also.
