Update:

Morning Update: The crew continues to settle in well. Sally came into heat and spends her time tormenting Chinook :) They have become very good buddies. Abe and Ozzie have paired up, but just tolerate each other. Hopefully they will become more friendly toward each other.
On a more concerning note, Abe has stopped eating hay. He remains interested in grain and Dengie, but will not eat the hay like the rest. He spends much of his time off to the side standing quietly. We will start adjusting his diet to account for him not eating hay. We will also try and figure out what is going on with him. Though his teeth need to be done, it does not appear to be the reason behind this. When he was eating the hay he did not make hay "balls" or spit out feed, like a horse who cannot eat properly due to teeth issues. It is worrying, but at least he is eating something.

More reports later. Off to prepare for big winter storm coming in.
