I have no clover....  :-(     ...horses and computers, never easy, lol

Actually, this year was the worst for his fungus, and we finally sprayed the 
pasture with Cimmarron twice this year to kill off years of weeds.  It was hard 
to find a buttercup in the pasture this year.

I saw alfalfa on "the list", I'm sure he got some scraps after the broodmare 
was done hers, but she's a piggy it couldn't have been much.
