dust
« on: May 24, 2010, 10:41:47 pm »
the farmer next door has now got his workers out with the tractors and trailers bringing
in cut grass for silage, where they come in and out of the entrance it runs along where our goats
are kept, cos the roads are so dry the dust that comes of the road is really something else.
could this in any way be bad for milly and molly.
thanks langdon :goat:

My goats are by the side of our farm track, and each time the cars go up and down, we get a giant cloud of white dust over the field.  I think your goats will be ok.  No matter where we keep our livestock there is always something blowing into their field etc.  Where I lived before, next door farmer would come and fertilise right up to the fence.  It made my eyes water, and I was paranoid about it going in the goats water buckets!!!

Silaging?  We have no grass to silage here, due to the very dry weather.

Oh yes, have you seen that we have wished you a happy birthday?  I should have put it under goats, shouldn't I?!!!
