Sadie’s Baby
Sadie had her baby this morning during a rain shower. It took her a few minutes to find her feet with Sadie’s encouragement. Banjo got in the way at first as he found out Sadie was giving milk again. Her name (for now) is Salsa.

Last Saturday night was another horse auction and I know you went “just to look”. We’re all familiar with the equation by now:

Here’s the pictures:

This is Star, a 4 yo quarterhorse/foxtrotter mare.

And here’s Scooter, a 7 yo pony.
Yes, I did bring the trailer with. Guess it’s not a hard and fast rule, huh?
If you go to a horse auction with your horse trailer, you won’t buy anything. If you go without it, you’ll need to make an extra trip back home to get it. We went to an auction without it. Here’s what we brought home.

This is Kash. Looks mostly like a Foxtrotter with some Quarter horse mixed in.

Here’s Sadie (right) and Banjo (left). Mom and year old (guessing) son.

Here’s an interesting article at Slate about hive rental prices. If you’re interested in going big in bee hives, renting them out for crop pollination seems to be the way to go, the rental price will probably only be going up until more hives are established nationwide.
I caught the Bison out for a little run this morning. It’s a nice cool day with a little rain so I think they were happy to have a day without a lot of heat. Most of them still have a lot of their winter coat hanging on them still.
