Salt

Colter drove his horse trailer to our house yesterday afternoon.  He rode one horse while leading a second horse carrying salt.  They rode to the top of Bald Ridge to leave salt for the cows.  "Cows need salt every day of the year.  For lactating cows and nursing calves, calcium from salt is critical for building strong bones and teeth, milk production, a regular heart beat, blood clotting, muscle movement and nervous system function."
