Hart horse trailer factory review: Hart's take serious just how well their trailers are built. It is their name on each trailer and that makes them particular. Truly impressive the extra reinforcing that goes into the trailers, and most of it is covered up with trim so you don't see the extra gussets, fishplate and camber bar in the frame. On the other hand the radius corners, smooth lines and beautiful welds make them seem like art. More...

 

Triple T Sales Montana Tractors. If you have acreage, you know you need help with mowing, post hole digging, corral cleaning, road maintenance, and maybe snow plowing. You don't have time to do it all by hand and who wants that much exercise. I've owned many loader tractors in my decades on the farm, had a backhoe business and custom haying. Montana tractors have what I look for as a solid easy to maneuver tractor. Joystick single loader lever has no slop, reacts at the right speed for control.

Check out-The National Hay Association Introducing Horses By  Melissa Brawner One of my favorite things about having our farm, is that I get to introduce children to horses.  There is something magical about seeing a huge horse and a tiny child together.  It can be a bit scary for both the horse and the child initially, but the end result is worth every second of the work you put in to make it a safe, comfortable learning experience.  I remember myself as a horse crazy child.  In retrospect, I am sure I was quite a sight in my light green fuzzy bikini and cowboy boots running around on my imaginary steed in Phoenix, Arizona.  Horses were all I could think about. I can truly empathize with those horse crazy children!   More... Introducing our horse editor, Melissa Brawner. Enjoy her educational articles sharing her experience raising horses in Colorado. The first article is about "Starting Foals."  "Beginning basic training sounds a bit extreme with a foal, but it is the simple things that are introduced.  Introducing things while they are young makes it much easier to train them when they are full grown, and ready for the saddle, or any other specialization. Practicing trailer loading at the side of the mare takes all of the fear out of the equation, unless of course you have a mare that won’t load!  The foal learns to..... Hay and Straw. You asked. Hay is a green immature leafing plant, be it alfalfa, grass, oats, etc. Straw is a yellow mature mostly stem plant that has been harvested to remove the seeds, usually wheat, barley, oats, rice, beans etc. Straw has little feed value, used for bedding or sometimes mixed with hay to stretch supplies and provide bulk to feedlot rations. Though the plants used as straw can be used as hay if harvested as a green immature plant in the beginning dough stage. Cornstalks can used like straw. It soaks up more moisture than straw.   I still haul hay once in a while. Click on the picture. Amy from MI knows how to haul hay the way I use to.
