Dead Horse

May 8 2008

The major news, is one of our best horses was killed. The one Jerry rode. He impaled himself on a fence post. It looks like he was either trying to get with one of the neighbors mares, or he just got a little aggressive with one of the neighbors geldings. Either way, he ended up killing himself. Jerry was pretty upset about it, he really liked that horse. I don't think we'll keep horses over on the east side anymore. We've just about got the fence done to keep the horses up front over on the west side. All we need to do now isbuild a couple of cattle guards. The fence looks good. I'm planning on painting it green. We've also been setting up some new deer feeders. We've just about got the whole ranch covered so that no deer are left out. The pigs are back too. Lots of them. We also got the hay planted  and fertilized. It's growing good especially since we finally got some rain. And since we got some rain, they temporarily lifted the burn ban and Jerry and I burned quite a bit. This week, I plan on scoping out how I want to run some fence lines in the back of the ranch.
