The Aminals on Our Farm

Although Cedarmore Farm is primarily a vegetable farm, you need to understand the important role that their animals play here on the farm. 

   The Horses

On Cedarmore Farm they consider the horses their most important animals.  They have four horses on their farm.  Debbie and Donna are their two Belgian draft horses.  They are the ones that do the heavy work like plowing the fields, pulling heavy loads, and so forth.  Ronnie is a more light weight Standard Bred horse. He is their means of transportation. They use him when they go to the neighbors or go to town or where ever they decide to go.  I am not sure how many miles per bushel of oats he gets in, but I know it is pretty good.  Earnie is their orneriest horse.  He is the riding horse. They use him to herd the cows or if they need a quick trip to the neighbors.  Sometimes he likes to pester the other horses when they are out on pasture together, but for the most part they get along fine.  All of their horses do a job for them so they try to treat them well.  They need to be fed and watered and they also need to be able to rest up during those times when there's a lot of work to do.  Like Andy says...the horses are the most important animals, but when he thinks about it all of their animals are important because all of the have jobs around the farm.
