We don't get snow very often here in and around Salem, Oregon.  But, when we do, extra care is required for our 4 legged critters.   For starters, horses need shelter, a place to get out of the wind, rain or snow.  A lean to or thick grove of trees will work if a stall is not available. If they do not have a thick, wintery coat, then a water proof turnout blanket is ideal. Extra hay will keep their body temperatures up. Access to fresh water, not ice to keep them hydrated.  It is natural for them not to drink as much water in these cold temps.  This can lead to dehydration, compaction and colic.  Check the water buckets or troughs several times a day to break ice if needed. Clean hooves daily.  The snow packs in the hooves, creating a rounded foot.  It's like walking on a ball, and can ...

Did your house value go up in 2013?  If you have acreage, it likely did not go up in value, but your chances of getting sold went up greatly.  Homes on acreage in the Salem and Keizer Oregon area median sales prices were slightly lower in 2013 over 2012, month for month. If you need an individual market evaluation for your acreage home, just tell us!     However, the number of units sold every month greatly increased year over year, often double the number of properties sold in 2012.  So if you tried to sell your acreage home in 2012 without success, 2013 would have brought you about a 50% increase in chances to get it sold.  Is it too late?  No, as the threat of rising interest rates sticks around, more and more buyers are flocking to the offer table before the low rates below 5% are h...

You know the field, green, grassy rolling hills.  You can almost see the grass blowing in the breeze.  If you are still using Windows, or perhaps you just want to tell your friends you have the Microsoft grassy field, this Salem Oregon acreage property is searching for you! You be the judge, I am sure you all have, or have access to the old grassy desktop photo.  I doubt I a can post the photo in my blog, for fear of copyright laws.  So, if you google (hah, love Google!) it, you will find the image. Then, compare to this grassy field I have listed (comes with a creek, pond, large home and barn too!) To get more details about this fine acreage home in South Salem Oregon, email Catherine Ulrey.
