The Barn by Ralph Hagen for January 08, 2011

Oats for sheep are like chocolate for kids??????????

Where did they hide the high fructose corn syrup??

Who knew?!? I eat oatmeal,and it’s never had that effect…

Guess Rory is feeling his oats!

Despite the ads, Wheaties never did that for me. Capt Crumch however——.

Catnip for our Rory

Wild oats, obviously.

Mares eat oats And does eat oats And little lambs feel lively!

cleo I tip my hat to you! Good one!

Those oats are always messing with our nice peaceful Saturdays

Cleokaya:

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat IVY.

Because oats are NOT to be consumed by little lambs.

Honey coated Cheerios are probably the culprit.

Or chocolate coated sugar bombs!

Stan, I wish you would go in the barn!

Old saying, “He’s feeling his oats”…

Just so you know, oats are rocket fuel for horses, and I suppose to other animals, as well. I have a former racehorse, and I would never feed him oats, he’s lively enough. That’s one of the reasons that working horses get oats, they need the energy. Small animals get all hyper, and I dare say lambs would bounce around like they swallowed a bunch of springs

Thanks for the info Basqueian I always thought oats were a treat for horses but not for cows or those with 4 stomachs. I used to give my horse a handful of oats or two.

A kid’ll feel lively too.
