Dusty Dry

We did not get the rain, the ground is dry and the pastures are no longer growing. The cow pasture cannot support the 4 cows so they are fed hay each morning and each evening. The picture below was taken this morning of the cows enjoying their breakfast.

Both calves are doing great. I'll need to move a round bale in the middle paddock tomorrow. Zalena is going to be put in with Ribbon, Jenis and Marika while Ayanna and Killian will be taken to Middle Grove. I need a paddock for a mare coming in for breeding.  She is a Raven daughter named Isabella's Song, owned by Jenni Moser and will be bred to Evan. We have a decision to make: After the big fight on Sunday we discussed if Horsemeister really does need 3 Friesian stallions and Evan was placed for sale on a couple of websites. There was no way Mike would let us place Valiant for sale, he is Raven's son. The problem I have with selling Evan is that Killian is not proven and we have so many owners of Raven daughters that want a baby out of Evan (me included).  The Friesian mares Jenis, Emma and Marika are all related to Valiant so even if someone was interested we cannot let him go until all of them are confirmed in foal. I probably should take the ads off until Killian is proven but until the ads are removed if you are interested in buying a proven gorgeous trick trained Friesian stallion make us an offer we cannot refuse and you could end up with your dream come true!
