I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.

Thanks for the picture -- what a sweetie -- a beautiful gal!

You really don't need a core puncher for the hay analysis. Just take small amounts from various sections of the hay bale.

Enjoyed the update!
