Thursday, July 15, 2010 - Hay and Research Day


Once again woke up to the sound of livestock, this time a small herd of cows were mooing next to our bedroom window. We saw a couple wandering around when we came in yesterday, didn't expect them to visit us so early. Horses were a bit calmer, though they were scrutinizing them suspiciously until the dogs were let out and ran them off. Spent the day on the computer researching the next few legs of our journey to make sure we don't run out of time before we run out of road, while Hubby went in search of some hay, as there wasn't much on craigslist for this area. Apparently most people here produce alfalfa, and our horses just aren't used to anything that rich, at least not by itself. We'll need to pick up some more certified weed free grass hay somewhere before moving on, or at least mixing alfalfa with our certified grass hay until we can find some upstate. It seems Montana has quite a few providers just over the border, we'll probably load up then. Meanwhile, the few bales Hubby picked up will last until then. Otherwise, an uneventful day.
