You are looking at a bucket with 30 pounds of salt, that’s 8 months for one horse, or 4 months for two.
Remember when I said that the mail order process left us without supplement Y? [Subscription Service Surplus]
It was electrolytes, i.e. salt.
We bought more from a brick-and-mortar location.
Then, our online order arrived.
Milton is big on salt. No harm, no foul
However.
Our standing order is a five-pound bucket.
When I picked that up, I also picked up the above bucket.
I thought the ordering algorithm had scrambled its code.
Turns out the barn minion in charge of online ordering had gotten tired of running out of salt and decided to fix the problem.
So now we are well-supplied for electrolytes.
It’s salt. We’ll use it. It won’t spoil.
Onwards!

And you left your standing order of 5 lbs. stand? Of course, mustn’t run out.
I still have 6 cans of mandarin orange slices from a sale last spring. Mustn’t run out.
