Brody and Spider

Thus far, keeping Brody and Spider entire has not been a problem. I expect that the time will come when the farm can no longer function with 2 entire colts taking up space close mares in heat. I did not breed any of my mares this year so things have been a good test so far. The most pressing problem as usual is space. I have 4 foals to wean in the next month or two and I'm really not sure where to put them. The colts are in the usual weanling field. I separated the colts and gelding about a month ago because the colts were getting thin. The overbearing geldings ate more quickly, finished their own dinners and then took the colts. It will be impossible to keep the colts and geldings separate once the foals return. It's good to have something to worry about I guess.
