Where in Northern CA?  I'm especially interested in the new fecal test.

This drought has really trashed my pasture.  I have weeds I've never seen
before (and old "friends") high as an elephant's eye.  I had to move the
horses off all together.

Adding to this, Lisa's excellent post about combining wormers.....  I just
wormed everyone with Zimectrin, but, if I recall correctly, ivermectrin
doesn't get tape worms.  The other horses in the new pasture are scheduled
to be wormed right away, but it will be about two to two and a half weeks
after mine.

Bottom line:  what do I do to get in sync?
