Spring Cleaning

by Lisa Woodland

Spring is here which for many of us means spring cleaning. So the walls are scrubbed, the windows, washed, closets cleaned and winter clothes are washed and stored for another season. So what about your horses and cattle? Do we take the time clean out their stalls, wash out their buckets, and feeders?

You can use baking soda, small amounts of dish soap, or mouth wash to clean out their water troughs. Make sure you rinse them thoroughly. Then, keep their feeders separated from their water trough to try and eliminate hay and manure from getting in their troughs.

Just as it is important for us to have clean organized houses it is equally important to clean and organized your animals home. They will feel better and act better.
