    The BEST option OUT THERE

    Could I buy Tasco pure; I'm not sure if I could because we don't have that much in the way of suppliers like you would out west? Also if you just can't feed melatonin year round then what about epic (supposedly a non-melatonin product) or could you feed shag with out burning them out on...

    The BEST option OUT THERE

    I think I understand what your saying. Its not the amount of melatonin but simply an increase and by feeding it year round; there will be no increase and therefore no hair. I definitely will try soaking my mister nozzles in vinegar because we have alot of sulfur (and other stuff) in the water...

    The BEST option OUT THERE

    Our barn is built such that we have a fairly steady draft coming though all the time (pole barn) so I think the heat escapes fairly well. I really like the idea of running the mister periodically throughout the day and it would be hard at all for me to rig up a line on the roof to run on the...

    The BEST option OUT THERE

    I guess I could... but I've always heard that the humidity created by doing so can cause respiratory issues. I've never tried leaving them on so I can't say for sure. Do you think I'd be alright if I left them on? Would his bedding get wet?

    Thanks for the advice, as of right now he has 2 turbo fans and a butt fan in his shade cloth enclosed stall. I've got a mister but I think I'm am going to have to get a better timer because I can only set it to come on once a day (1 o'clock for 15 minutes), maybe I'll keep on with what I'm doing...

    The BEST option OUT THERE

    Being located in Florida, and not having access to a cool room hair is a rarity. I feel like I've searched and read every post on the subject that I can. The consensus seems to be genetics, rinsing, brushing, and genetics. Well, I know I have the genetics, and I rinse 3 times everyday and 4 most...

    Pink slime

    Theres nothing wrong wtih it. If you have been eating beef at all in your life you have ate a bunch of pink slime. It is made from the lean beef off of bones not scraps off the floor and guts as the media says. Pink slime is in almost every commercially made ground beef. It actucally cuts down...
