but not with horsey stuff, as it goes
Had a rotten cold all week, so yesterday, my weekend day, only did 5 minutes in hand before i started spluttering again
however, noticed that the big bale we got delivered thursday seemed to be going off. got enough good off for last night but.....
when we went today (plan had been that we'd try and rescue what we could) it was unrescueable, really. didn't trust any of it, due to mould, so not worth the risk.
so, trip to shop other side of durham for a small bale
chap who brings the large will come tomorrow and replace
however, on trying to leave the yard on our single track road, i was polite and gave way to someone coming the other way in a 4 x 4 - i don't know why (she said, why did you do that?) save for politeness - but at that spot the passing place is on a slight incline, and it was wetter than normal - car gently slid down and to the left and i had to be towed out backwards by the 4 x 4 lady! doh! happily she had a rope in the back of the truck....
then time we got back, G's hangover from last night was really catching up with her, so no work for M (this was after we'd wrapped the old rotten bale up with two lungelines)
course i was coughing well by this time, the spores really getting to me, so defo did the right thing not feeding to M.
I was wondering how those large bales held up. I guess they need to be really protected from the wet.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a place to get a small bale to feed Monfils. I need to go pick up some hay tomorrow myself. My Boys are eating a lot.
Feel better, both you and Gaynor.
