Coffee anyone ?

Just so very sorry. Yes, fescue can cause not only problems for mare but, the foal. As you probably know, over gestation, no milk, problems birthing...foals usually have liver damage, if alive when born, more problems, dummy foals. I know the heartbreak! BTDT.....mini mares. 2 c-sections in a week, 8 lost foals. I can't send enough hugs to heal the hurt...but :hugs :hugs :hugs 😪
 
So sorry to hear that. All that @Mini Horses says is true and goes for cattle too. We see more abortions with fescue and late breed backs though because of the cattle being on more hay in late gestation; they are getting bred during the summer months and so early term abortions....
We really do not like fescue here. Plain old pasture grass and not anything special is much preferred here. Anything but fescue for me.
 
I am so sorry. That is a heartbreak and hide disappointment. Wait so long, then nothing. Sure sorry. Sending hugs your way.
 
We have 15 chickens on ice. We came in at 3:00, got started at 10 this morning. BJ is knocked out in his recliner. I used this morning’s leftover coffee with lots of sugar, cream and ice. Sure makes a great afternoon pick me up, I sure need it. Still gotta go back out and do chores, before I shower and clean up. I’m a blood splattered mess. LOL Tomorrow I’ll be cutting up chickens.
Supper is the chuck roast I put in the crock pot this morning with a packet of dry onion soup mix and a quart of chicken broth. Maybe some masked potatoes too.
 
@Baymule :oops:Great job!!! 15 is a lot of bloody mess... :lol:

My last 3 eggs hatched. 7 others in larger cage, outside. Now these tiny ones. 🥴 Hen with a doz chicks doing great! Another has obviously made a hidden nest in a trailer, now setting. Whatever! :he. Will be her job, not mine.

Today, work. Early start so finish coffee and go.

TV on for weather....73 today, 91 yesterday....and heard a livestock truck turned over. About 165 pigs going to processor, Smithfield foods. Only 30 miles from me. Bet that's a busy accident site. The trailers are double deckers. Smithfield has a response team on site to contain and reload.

Congratulations on all the chicks and broody hens @Mini Horses With all those chicks, you will either be selling them or later, having a rooster roundup and sending them to freezer camp.
Poor pigs! Truck turned over, that’s bad.

On first cup of coffee. I got a lot of chickens to cut up!

Everybody have a good day!
 
Another warm sunny day. Hay is put up, just 40 bales but was under 4 acres. Will cut more on Friday? Today I need to get groceries, get a garden cart brought from the farm and mow the yard. Soft ball game tonight.
