One can learn from a wide variety of sources. Fall is here and most of us have noticied the unusual weather so preparing your farm for any hazard is always a good idea. Sift the following, which is for kids, and glean what might be applicable to your situation.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackDiane and I fall into that small farmer category. We raise and train Arabian horses. If you recall, horses are not part of the food chain. They do not carry or transmit any diseases that affect other animals in the food chain. Yet, they are included in NAIS. Each horse requires a microchip. Every movement requires reporting to the Department of Agriculture within 24 hours. Each animal that leaves its birthplace is required to have a 30 day certified veterinary health certificate before it can be moved.
The simple act of taking a trail ride or attending a horse show or, as we sometimes do, taking a horse to a cancer fund raiser requires all of these expenses and red tape under NAIS.
Very simply put….We are out of business. We are trying to find good homes for unsalable horses. For more information about how it affects horses please check our website http://www.wiwfarm.com/doomsday.html
