Re: [haflingerfriends] Early foals

15 below! Gees, and I've been moaning about the overcast here in Sacramento. Nevermind about that anymore. At least my nose won't drop off my face from 15 - cold.

Subject: [haflingerfriends] Early foals


I live in Iowa and just found out my mares I bought may foal in Mar or Feb. Current temp here is 15 below without wind chill. Feb and Mar could bring the same temps. My husband suggested I bed them down when it's time in 14 inches of corn stock bedding. Cattle ranchers and lots of swine farmer's use it for bedding. Is it safe for haflingers or should I stick to straw and wood chips?
