What do they eat? Our Belgian horses/Belted Galloway cattle eat both hay and oats.                                             

Life on the Farm is pretty much 24-7. Vacations are out of the question unless of course someone is willing to assume the responsibility of "chores".

We do get away thanks to our kids and friends!
