Are you originally a southern person? I've never had that and for some reason it strikes me as being somewhat regional.

I'm not southern and love biscuits and gravy. However, I grew up everywhere it seems, which includes the south, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I've had good biscuits and gravy in PA too as well as the best corn bread ever!

Coffee is ready. We butchered chickens for 4 hours yesterday, then an hour to clean up, showers and a nap. Chickens are in ice chest in the kitchen. Was going to can all day, neighbor called and needs help putting roof decking on his porch so we’re going to do that today. Mini Horses I sure would butcher your Roos for you! Neighbor picked up his roos last night, very happy to have that done. Another full day ahead.

I am neither southern or northern.
I grew up in a different country. When i came to the US when I was 20, I lived in Louisiana, maybe that has something to do with it?

Southerners are inclined to "gravy" most anything.

Grands were in WV and they sure did make gravy. It's probably a way to help extend foods and/or assist with any wild taste from hunting ? But milk based sausage gravy over biscuits is awesome. I could do some right now.

Another beautiful day here. Cool, low humidity, getting just 80-83 later. I'm considering staying home, move work jobs over a day. Yeah, I have that option. DD sent text this AM to say some of the mini mares were out in her yard. Great! I had turned off alarm but, getting up then. They don't go anywhere except to eat the SAME grass that grows in their fields. They broke out for a chance at SEX. Yep. They are cycling and a lovely shiny, black stud is in a field at DD. Dress, trudge down with the "magic bucket" and they all follow back to a gate. Then I walk to find their escape. Repair. Go back up and have the 4 bucklings screaming.

Surprised they aren't hoarse by now. Added the last 60' of wire to the 4 board fence for their "new" pasture yesterday. Put them in about noon so they could get used to parameters while daylight. Weaning time. Plus don't want their sisters bred. Only 5 does nursing but 4 still have a doeling to nurse & help me transition into milking again. One mini nub had twin bucks....she's a little concerned. Otherwise, the herd is pretty ok with having the pesty boys outa there! The boys were laying at the fence line, not in their shed, at my outing this AM. Quiet at that time. Not now. They have been grazing & eating feed for a month. Will be fine! It's life.

Time to refill the coffee cup. Everyone have a great day!

Well, we got another round in on Rose's hooves. Just her fronts yesterday. She hates having to balance. I think its because she has gone so long without proper trimming and care. But she feels better each time. She will soon relearn how good it feels. I think she maybe had bad farriers in the past and remembers that. She is ok with picking, but when you go to clip or rasp she starts leaning her weight on you. I'm thinking of ordering a radius rasp for her mustang roll because she makes it impossible to do with the normal rasp. Any thoughts?

lift her leg to front, file down. Of course, I have minis, so less weight and I'm usually sitting to do. It's low when they are short.

In for lunch and getting ready to go milk ….. should be fun. Some of these are not used to human milking. They have been but, not regularly. Will be some resistance, I'm sure. The one with twin boys just pulled is a mini Nubian. Another low down job. Guess I need to go pull the milk stand but, she isn't being used "for milking" generally. Will see how it goes.

Can you look at getting a hoof stand?
