Our Transparent apple tree is dropping apples. Today I picked up two buckets to take out to the farm for the horses. Transparents are a yellow, soft apple. They tend to ripen on the tree and by the time they fall to the ground are starting to bruise. They're not very tasty to me, but the horses like them.
In 2004 we picked up two mini donkeys from a horse rescue. They "might" be pregnant we were told. That had to do with a gelded donkey they'd bought at auction but they didn't actually check his plumbing. He was intact. We asked our vet about pregnancy test for mini donkeys because they can't be palpated like a full sized horse. Our vet wasn't a big donkey fan to begin with but he said a blood test could be done but was rather pricey at $200 each. His advice? When the apple is ripe it will drop.
The following March each of our mini donkeys dropped a cute little baby.
