I’m tossing around the idea of hosting an annual farmers market and would like to hear your feedback. I would also like to start assembling a potential vendor list before submitting any applications. My hope is that this would provide a central location for the public to connect with local farmers and ranchers, and provide our community with greater access to locally grown foods, farm raised beef, etc. please share your thoughts and contact me if you’d be interested in being a vendor. Thanks!

Here is your reminder to check your alfalfa for the presence of blister beetle prior to feeding it to your horses—especially if you feed alfalfa hay from a new or unknown harvesting source.

"The blister beetle (Epicauta) is highly toxic to sheep and cattle, but primarily to horses," says AAEP member Dr. Benjamin Espy. "As little as four (4) to six (6) grams of blister beetles can be deadly to a 1100-pound horse. Blister beetles swarm in alfalfa fields and are drawn into bales by accident. Even small parts of these beetles are toxic to a horse, and whole insects need not be present to be dangerous. Although cantharidin can exist in the alfalfa used to make pellets and cubes, cantharidin toxicity is very rare by this route. Some people believe that it has to do with the processing, others believe that it’s because the feed companies are using alfalfa from reputable sources that have good insect control."

If you suspect your horse is showing signs of toxicity, call your veterinarian immediately. While there is no antidote for the toxin found in blister beetles, your veterinarian may still be able to save your horse by providing supportive care to combat dehydration, help evacuate toxins from the gastrointestinal tract and delay potential absorption. Since there are many representatives of the species Epicauta, contact your local agricultural agent so they can help you identify any beetle that looks suspicious.

Cuteness overload😍 Miss Patience will be 3 weeks old in a couple days. She spent about a week at the vets, but has recovered well. She loves to run, buck, and show off. She walks right up to me in the pasture. She is going to a special one… .

Elsa has made it to 345 days gestation today. Her last foal was born 2 days after the full moon and things are starting to look favorable. We are expecting a stud c**t thanks to Dr. Chad Baumwart for the sneak peak ultrasound, but I’ve decided that if by chance it turns out to be a filly her barn name should be Patience.
