2021 3 25

I had the daily doggy all written and it wiped out the first paragraph about the hey problem so I can quickly dictate it again probably without correction so it may have some really interesting misspellings .hey in this area is getting to be in short supply this is critical to anybody with horses they have to have it I prefer Timothy hay there is a bit of alfalfa hay around but I've always thought of that as cowhey at any rate Janine thought maybe we should try splitting a whole load as we used to do when we lived in Lynnfield so I started calling around 1st place would be Dodge drained and they have loads about 20 tons at 4:15 a ton but at the moment he didn't have any and he would have to look for it for me he's got Contacts so I started in with my hey contact Lynn Cashman and at this point I say land Cashman is Wayne Cashman number 12 Bruin she is his WIFE. and aand I went on to explain in the what got wiped out that I really don't like saying that by way of defining who she is and at one point in my life I ended up introducing him to someone by saying this is Wayne Cashman you know lynn's husband because she in a horse world was much more famous than he however back to my hey problem

I had a dissertation on hey well written things like currently we are using 2 string bales meaning that the bales have two pieces of hey string holding it together and they are about £35 each somewhere in my life they were called women's Bale of hay because there were more women taking care of of horses the men however there can be 3 string bales which are considerably heavier at 45 pounds that does make a difference and after that there are the really big bales done up with two wires and those can go up to 70 pounds .. the other numbers you need to know are the average 1000 pound horse needs about 20 pounds of hay a day in a little bit of rain and things ..

donkeys will live very nicely on hay and water and carrots and bagels and a lot of other stuff however   

the reason jeanine and I got into a discussion of Hay was that there is a Humane situation somewhere not too far away where there are 40 thoroughbredMARES  that would just turned loose in a huge area last fall in addition there were four stallions thrown into the same field or enclosed area or whatever with damn little food so the Humane Society right now has 40 bMARES  with her probably bred BY  stallions and they're all been confiscated or whatever at any rate I guess Janine gets her pick as equine rescue network and sometime in the next week we may be getting some extremely skinny probably pregnant mayor's here so I was told to get the back bar N and ready   which is how she and I got into a discussion about hey-------- thoroughbreds are not known to be easy keepers so probably they're going to need a BALE A DAY EACH !

so going back to the truck of hay the 20 tons would be very close to 800 bales .. Sounds like they might be slightly heavier than £35 at any rate when you buy a truckload you basically buy the scale weight from when the truck was weighed when it came across the border .

 

THE PREGO DONKEY DID NOT “POP’ OVERNIGHT.. SO WE CONTINUE THE CLASSIC “ANALYZING EVERY PHART

 

----  AND THEN I HAD TH ECHICKEN EPISODE AND THE  FARMER EDUCATION... LINDA CAME UP WITH.. THIS

but that’s really rare.

 


A hen will produce fertile eggs for up to 21 days after just one mating. A hen can retain a roosters' sperm in little pockets inside her egg canal for up to three weeks

When a rooster mates a hen, his injected semen is stored in numerous sperm storage tubules (SSTs) located in the area where the hen’s uterus joins the vagina. That is, provided the hen likes the rooster. If she doesn’t, she can squirt out the semen to avoid hatching his offspring. Ed:  GOTTA LOVE THAT ONE

Assuming the hen approves of the rooster, his semen is stored in her SSTs. The sperm is then periodically released in response to the hormone progesterone, which is triggered when the hen lays an egg. The next ovulation won’t occur for about five hours, giving released sperm plenty of time to wiggle through the oviduct, without interference from a descending egg, to fertilize the next developing yolk.

Since sperm is released shortly after an egg is laid, and each egg takes approximately 25 hours to develop, an egg produced on the day of mating will not be fertile. An egg laid the next day may or may not be fertile, depending on the timing. An egg laid on the third day definitely should be fertile.

The amount of time during which the hen will continue to lay fertile eggs depends on how much sperm fills the SSTs, which are capable of storing semen from multiple matings and multiple roosters. Highly productive hens generally remain fertile longer than hens that lay at a slower rate, and single-comb breeds remain fertile longer than rose-comb breeds— possibly as long as a month,

My opnly related story I can come up with on that is that there is a micro dirty jobs show where he had to impregnate a bunch of girl turkeys----
