Foaling!
|
Foaling is happening or right around the corner for many! Whether you are a seasoned pro, or new to the game, it is always good to brush up on some knowledge and ensure you are prepared! With the internet, there are many good sources to make prep lists, kits and good general information. None of this replaces a good relationship with your vet. Ensure you have one, and have their number handy in case you need assistance. Here are a few links to get you started on your info journey. Do not forget to post pictures on our facebook page, or email them in so we can show them off!

ISO: halter breaking donkey for our purebred beef operation and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. My criteria is as follows: traditional regular sized Jesus Donkey. Prefer under 5 years old halter broke, need not have experience with halter breaking cattle but a willing disposition is a must. No preference as to Jack or Jenny. We are located in the Peace Country but could travel to find the right Donkey. We had a breaking donkey for over 20!years and he was exceptional. The new hired hand will have big shoes to fill.
