rainy days in kzn
There is always those few #horses in the herd that just insist on standing out in the rain 🤣🐴😑☔️
In my cozy stable, I prance and I play,
With a fluffy soft bed where I dream away.
Oh, Mercor Shavings, how sweet is my rest,
A dust-free delight, it’s simply the best!
For over thirty years, they’ve known what we need,
A soft, comfy haven, a true horse’s creed.
When I lie down, my worries take flight,
In this lovely warm bed, everything feels right.
Each flake is a cloud, so gentle and kind,
With Mercor beneath me, peace is what I find.
No sneezes or sniffles, just comfort and cheer,
In my lovely soft shavings, I’m happy right here.
I roll and I stretch; it’s a joy that I feel,
My bed’s like a marshmallow; it’s truly ideal!
The smell of fresh wood fills the air with delight,
Thanks to Mercor Shavings, my dreams take to flight.
So here’s to my bedding, so fine and so neat,
With Mercor Shavings, my life is a treat.
When the sun starts to set and the stars start to gleam,
I snuggle in tight; oh, what a sweet dream!
<3 Thank you Mercor Shavings <3

THEY LOVE THE DAM! But the valley we live in is a high risk zone for many diseases and viruses and pests... including the horrid conical liver fluke for which none of the standard horse de-wormers work and you have to special order in the remedy. So as much as it is wonderful for them to splish and splash, it comes with severe consequences. (this is NOT the same as liver fluke)
Horses become infected with conical liver flukes, also known as Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke), by grazing on contaminated pastures where the fluke larvae (metacercariae) are encysted on aquatic vegetation; these larvae are released from infected freshwater snails and then ingested by the horse when grazing, allowing the fluke to migrate into their liver through the gut wall.
(Signs and symptoms in the comments)
Key points about the infection process:
Snail host:
The life cycle of the liver fluke requires a freshwater snail as an intermediate host where the parasite develops and multiplies before being released as cercariae.
Encysted larvae:
The cercariae then encyst on aquatic plants, becoming metacercariae, which are the infectious stage for grazing animals like horses.
Ingestion of contaminated vegetation:
When a horse grazes on pasture containing these encysted larvae, they ingest the parasites, which then excyst and migrate to the liver.

Looking for recommendations on who to call to shear the sheep 🐑🐑 🐑
The sheep enjoying their daily dose of eragrostis from Assagay Feeds
Eragrostis, commonly known as "weeping lovegrass," is considered a good forage for sheep because it can provide a reliable source of grazing, particularly during dry periods, due to its drought tolerance, ability to grow in low-quality soils, and good palatability when harvested at the right stage, making it a valuable option for hay production, especially in regions with limited rainfall; however, its quality can decline significantly if allowed to mature too long
