Re: Dude's Glucose to Insulin Ration 4.2

You're welcome - thank Eleanor actually. I meant to ask - does he have a salt block in easy access? Blue is free stalled, too, so he has both water and salt inside and outside. Inside water is easy

Re: Morning Star

I am so sorry for your loss. As hard as it was and is on you, know you did the kindest thing for him. The memorial ride will help - friends did that with me when I lost my old guy, and it meant the

Re: Jack/Blood testing query

I soak the hay in three batches for three meals. I smell the hay before I feed and it does not smell sour. I soak it in the barn in cold water. The water is still cold when I take the hay out. I

Re: Dude's Glucose to Insulin Ration 4.2

Re: Dude's Glucose to Insulin Ration 4.2

Fairly well?How many gallons does he drink in a 24-hour period? Does he have water in his stall? But how many pounds do you throw away? What we want to know is how many pounds he is actually
