This video shows Sassy in winter 2026 and winter 2023. That was the winter I surrendered to nature and we decided to flee back to Florida. We got blizzard after blizzard and Sassy was up to her belly in snow. But she loved it! Did you know that blanketing horses to keep them warm is actually a “hot” topic? (No pun intended.) Those who choose not to blanket often point to the horse’s natural ability to self regulate, and they say blankets interfere with that process (such as hair growth). I put a blanket on Sassy in Western Washington when I lived in Seattle because it was just so wet there all the time, and the blanket helped her stay a little more dry in the cold. On the east side of Washington, I did not blanket her, even though the temperature was much colder, because she was rarely wet, as the precipitation came down as snow and not rain. So I kind of chuckled when I blanketed her here in Florida a couple nights ago.
Maisy and Mommy Cow were separated all summer at their respective bull camps. We re-introduced them over the weekend. It did not go exactly as we had planned. But everybody is OK!
We hope they’re both pregnant and we’ll have cute calves this Spring. Speaking of pregnancy, vitamins A, D & K are essential and that’s why, as an older mom, I have made the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil part of my daily routine. I used to battle chronic cavities but no more. You get 10% off at checkout with promo code “ALISON”. https://greenpasture.org/
I don’t recommend Cheerios for breakfast but I definitely recommend staying clear of the green ones!
Nutrition is key when wrangling male goats, which I why my daily routine includes the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts to keep my bones, teeth and brain healthy! Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
Our mini Jersey cross, Maisy, is back home after love camp all summer with a mini Jersey bull. Huge thank you to @thewagonfarm for taking such good care of Maisy and allowing us to use their bull’s….services. They made a cute couple but all good things come to an end. After 2 unsuccessful artificial insemination attempts, we decided it was time to try the real deal. We don’t know if she is pregnant - we will likely blood test her in the near future. We are hoping someday Maisy will be our family milk cow.
Speaking of pregnancy, nutrition is key when you’re an older mama like me (I had my kids at 38 & 41) - and Maisy! (She is almost 5! That’s old for cows.) I have been taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts for 15 years. It saved my teeth from chronic cavities and is a great source of vitamins A, D & K.
