Water Trough Tips:

Winter is here, and so are freezing temperatures! Keep your livestock hydrated with these tips to prevent water troughs from turning into icebergs:

1. Place your water trough in a spot where it gets full sun exposure.
2. Insulate your water trough by placing it inside another trough lined with insulation (be sure your animals are not able to nibble on any exposed insulation).
3. Utilize floats, in the form of cattle balls or homemade.
4. Use heaters made for use in livestock water troughs.

As the temperatures continue to drop your outdoor feline friends will need a safe and warm place to escape the cold. Ideally all pets should be brought indoors if the temperature dips below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are unable to bring them inside here are some suggestions from Alley Cat Allies, for constructing your own shelter or acquiring a ready-made one.

Embracing Wet Weather: Caring for Your Equine Friend's Hooves!

Rainy days can be a challenge for both horse and rider, but it's essential to remember that proper hoof care during wet weather is crucial for your equine companion's health and well-being. Here are some tips to keep those hooves happy and healthy:
1. Daily Inspection: Make it a habit to check your horse's hooves daily. Look for signs of excessive moisture, mud, or cracks that can develop in wet conditions.
2. Clean & Dry: After riding or turnout in wet conditions, clean and dry your horse's hooves thoroughly. Remove any mud, debris, or rocks stuck in the hooves.
3. Regular Trims: Keep up with your farrier appointments. Regular trims are essential to prevent issues such as overgrowth and imbalances.
4. Hoof Protection: Consider using hoof boots or applying hoof dressing to provide extra protection during wet weather.
5. Proper Drainage: Ensure your horse's living area and paddocks have proper drainage to prevent standing water and mud.
6. Bedding: Use dry bedding in stalls and shelter areas to give your horse a clean and dry space.
7. Diet & Supplements: A balanced diet rich in biotin and other essential nutrients can promote healthy hooves. Consult your veterinarian for guidance.

Remember, a little extra care during wet weather can go a long way in preserving your horse's hoof health. Let's keep those hooves strong and your equine friends happy even when the skies are cloudy!
