Last week as i’m sure was obvious we had to say goodbye to the Turkeys!
I am proud to say that the lovingly nurtured, well fed, healthy specimens managed to make a final weight of 14 lbs (thats 4hrs and 40 mins cooking time if anyone is interested) and they looked cracking.
They were definitely the tastiest turkeys ever and the only dissappointment was that someone tried to sell one in the pub for £15 despite them having a value of £50!
Today the Yard became messy-dropping everywhere-notquitesoabsorbent-itchy straw free as all the beds became shavings! In a bid to make life quicker easier and tidier we had 3 pallet loads of shavings shipped in and out went the straw and in went the shavings!
We’ll just have to see what we prefer!
There are a few animals on the yard that are not strictly necessary to the running of a stud farm however, they keep life interesting all the same!
At the weekend the 6, rapidly-growing-fit-for-christmas-dinner were allowed out for a stroll! They spent alot of time scratching and being rounded up by Brandy the dog!
They had a great time and will be taking a trip out again in the near future. Next time however, they will NOT be allowed on the new grass as it seems they have VERY big feet!
The most important thing that happened on the yard today was brand new rubber matting going down! Due to the fact that the courier simply did not understand our urgency it was a bit ‘last minute.com’ as the horses had already arrived! However, they are enjoying their new beds as we speak!
