Well, its been a long slow week with regards to Girl and her healing foot, she is slowly walking better each day, she is a just a little bit less stiff each day, I am keeping a very close eye on her, her long acting antibodics are now coming off, and so I will get a clear view of where she is at off meds. She is eating her hay, grain mix, but does not seem near as interested as normal in her cubes, everything else seems normal at the moment, Still I have started add in dried stringing nettle to her daily ration, plus I have started sprouting oat flats for her, as the pastures are brown now, and she is searching out even the tiniest big of green on her walk up or down to the big round hay feeder from the barn.

On the other hand Marty (I dropped the S) is doing very well, he has adjusted very well indeed, he took to the milk well, he got loose stools on day two but not scours, then by day four was back to soft plops of the a good color, he is nibbling on his calf mix but not alot, however , he often has his head stuck in the hay feeder when I pop in an out of the barn, he is ahead of where girl was in regards to being interested in hay first, where as girl was more interested in grain first, hay second.

I am very happy, no sours, no drooping in health, active, bright eyed and interested in all that goes on around him, so far I am very very pleased with how his adjustment and first week has gone.

I have been getting Marty used to being touched all over and he was introduced to being brushed and having his feet picked up, but I have yet to halter break him, I will start that this week now that he seems settled and ready to learn.
