Hopefully.....



I hope we are done with snow! This picture is a week old but I felt like it had some relevance after seeing Karen's post with her new arrival. Dr. Davison is in a different part of the country than we are. The pictures are a day apart and Dr. Davison's foal looks nice and warm, while our foals were getting limited turnout in snowy conditions! It makes me think about how different conditions require different management and feeding methods even when you are in the same time period. Purina has products for all situations, but it is important to remember that each situation is unique. We understand the types of challenges our customers face and have a team of people ready to help you get the most out of whatever situation you have just a mouse click or phone call away.


The farm has had several more foals since my last post, keep checking in over the next couple of days for new foal pictures!

Number nine out of ten expected foals arrived yesterday, he got to go out and explore the world this morning. (He thought the human with the camera was the most interesting thing apparently) Our foals get 24 hours with mom in a stall before their first...

- Avalanche!
We are getting into the thick of it now, there are eight foals on the ground for us. We have two more mares that are due in the first part of April, so we might get a short break of checking mares all night! All are doing quite well so far, and they...

- More Winter!
I don't know about the rest of you in the midwest, but I don't remember the last time we had a storm like this! We have had freezing rain/sleet for almost 24 hours now, there is thunder with the sleet, and we are supposed to get a massive amount...
