      @jordanscollected That begs the question… Do you have matching trousers for the 🦆?

        @tody I don’t now but those new cargos are on my radar. That would be a great way to build a rapport with them.

          Thanks for the info @jordanscollected . I’m guessing we are generally not familiar with those supplements around here as our horses have green pasture available year round and that gives them the ability to fulfill their dietary requirements on their own. Does that sound reasonable to you?

          The journey is the objective.

            @motojobobo it does. If we were afforded year round pasture, we wouldn’t need it.

                    @cool_breeze_ we would love to host an IH party at the farm. People could camp or rent RV's and park them around the yard.

                    It is a dream come true for real.

                    No one calls us to hang out these days anyhow. We might and well fill our free time getting bossed around by the animals, inside and out.

                      One thing we lack on the farm is storage for large items like the boat, horse trailer, and most importantly hay. Instead of contracting an outbuilding I took the economical approach and assembled this 12x20 portable garage from Harbor Freight. We should be able to get 80-100 square bales of hay which should be half what we need for the horses this winter. It’ll take some storage “stress” off the barn.

                      I’m lining the floor with wood pallets and tarps and then we will get our hay, hopefully this coming weekend.

                          Today has solidified for me that the term “having a hay day” is meant for the horses, not meant for the people throwing bales.

                          We are getting hay for the winter from the former owners hay supplier. I decided to save a little money per bale and go pick up the hay wagon instead of having it delivered. So for 12 miles I towed these 150 bales at a top speed of 20 mph towards home.

                          We are storing 80 in the barn and another 120 in the storage I built last weekend. We will go pick up the rest of the hay in the next week or so to be set for most of the winter.

                            Dude those look like heavy, dense bales. Is there alfalfa in them?

                                They are heavy and dense @SKT. They are a mix of grass (mostly Timothy) and alfalfa. They seem like really high quality hay that will yield little waste.

                                  @jordanscollected I worked on a dairy farm when I was in high school and sometimes have nightmares (not really) about bucking those heavy alfalfa bales. Bet they smell amazing though

                                    Yesterday we had a “horse warming party” at the farm for friends to come out and bring their families and meet the animals and see the new spot.

                                    Quote of the day goes to 8 year old William who after meeting the horses, ducks and chickens, turns to me unimpressed and says “what other animals you got?”
