A lovely day again but we had to keep the old men and the girls in the small paddock as we needed them for later.
The old men now have a daily fibre block each which I soak for 12 hours. It resembles green sludge. I know this because while lugging it to their field, I managed to spill the sludge bit down my trouser legs. They get half for breakfast and half for supper as well as unlimited hay and a bucket of grub.
The old men love their green sludge and it has really helped Haakon post colic. His pee is a lovely pale Chardonnay now and the blood results are back. All normal except for a few that indicated colic. So phew. No kidney problems. I am so relieved.
I also gave Klængur a bucket of sludge too and he liked it.
The girls hate this food so we gave them a couple of haynets to keep them entertained. Yes, we have muchos mud.
And we (ok, Flossie) hung haynets everywhere.
If Green Sludge keeps the old Gents fit – slime away!
So very glad to hear that Haakon is all better. Great news!
I’m glad to see and hear everyone is doing well – we all need fiber in our diets, right?
Chardonnay has in my mind gone from a white wine to yellow.
