RAO); behavioral problems, and the pre - vention of disease. Each body function is modulated by the central nervous system. Acupuncture in - volves hundreds of points that fall along a group of primary meridians, which relate to the musculoskeletal system and internal organs. Acupuncture treats pain and ill - ness by stimulating specific points with small needles placed at point centers where there is a high density confluence of lymphatic vessels, nerve endings, mast cells, and arterioles. Stimulation of these points can trigger biochemical and physi - ological reactions that assist the body in healing itself. In Chinese medicine, pain or illness is thought to be caused by the blockage of energy along the meridians. The energy, referred to as Qi (pronounded “chee”), can be blocked by internal and/or external fac - tors including stress, trauma, bacteria, and viruses. Mitchener starts by examining the horse’s body for areas of pain or soreness. She showed the acupuncture points on the horse which are mapped out and have a number. After determining where the painful areas lie, she first inserts three nee - dles into the triangle in the neck, called the relaxation triangle. She twists the needle slightly until she gets a catch. She leaves them in 20 minutes because Qi takes about 20 minutes to travel around the body. Some treatments are for pain, some for body functions like the digestive system, and some behavioral problems. Some neu - ral responses include release of endor - phins, serotonins, and norepinephrine. Mitchener explained the two parts of the autonomic nervous system: the sym - pathetic system, which evokes the “fight or flight” response, and the parasympa - thetic system, which is the calming sys - tem. Acupuncture balances these two parts of the system. She described generally the types of ail - ments she treats in horses. She sees a lot of soreness in the shoulder in hunter/jumper horses, especially where the saddle goes. The sacroiliac joint and the poll are two very vulnerable locations in the horse’s body. The lumbar area is the most vulnerable place in long-backed horses. She has seen the most success with non-surgical colics. She can even insert needles in the horses during the colic episode, with positive results. Mitchener is very impassioned about acupuncture because of the healing results she sees. “It’s a very powerful treatment! I get to go into the barn and help horses get relief! A lot of horses go into a trance-like state with acupuncture,” because it’s so calming. She reiterated that acupuncture works because it modulates the nervous system. It is effective in treating muscu - loskeletal ailments, asthma, non-surgical colics, muscle spasms, laminitis, arthritis, and it can stimulate the immune system so may be helpful with autoimmune disease. 10 .

The horses evacuated to the Agricenter have been publicized so they are getting help. But many other people who moved their horses before they were just taken at the last minute are scattered and haven’t ben - efitted from the publicity the horses at Agricenter have received.” The West Tennessee Hunter Jumper As - sociation responded to the needs of the displaced horses. Led by Beanie Cone, left-over hay and shavings from the Mem - phis in May horseshows were donated. Beth hopes to represent the displaced horses at the Germantown Charity Horse Show as well. The needs of the displaced horses will continue for several months. Water will take weeks to recede, and the damage af - terwards for many properties will be ir - reparable. K N P hopes to reopen by the end of June, but they realize this will be a monumental task.

Ranch Review Evergreen Farm - Utterly Fresh! Got milk? Evergreen Farms brings it to their shareholders directly from the cows. On their rolling 400+ acre farm, Jan and Walt Haybert specialize in producing raw milk from a herd of Guernsey and Jersey cows that are primarily grass fed, receive no hormones or antibiotics. But the cows are such high quantity producers that they do have to be fed grain, a combination of beet pulp and corn, at milking time. They spend the rest of their days grazing on lush grass and legume pastures on the rolling hills of Evergreen Farms on Hwy. 125 near Middleton, TN. The Hayberts moved to this farm 17 years ago from Germantown, TN. They got into the milk producing business in July 2009 after the TN State Legislature passed the “cowshare” law. The Tennessee “Cowshare” bill legalizing cow shares, signed into law May 21, simply states that nothing in the law “shall be construed as prohibiting the independent or partial owner of any hoofed mammal from using 11925 Pete Drive • Collierville, Tenn. the milk from such animal for the owner’s personal consumption or other use.” House sponsor was Frank Nicely (R- Price: $895,000 Knoxville, District 17); Senate sponsor was Mike Faulk (R-Kingsport, District 4). The Brentwood Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation and Tennesseans for Raw Milk were major supporters of the bill. However, the production of raw milk for human consumption in Tennessee re - mains problematic with many mispercep - tions abounding about raw milk. The Hayberts and other milk producers across the state say they have faced “difficulties,” put mildly, with officials from USDA (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture) and the TN Dept. of Agriculture. Some have called it harassment. For example, the Hayberts were told they needed to build a retention pond to hold 1 million gallons of waste - • 4.77 Acres water, when the farm only uses about 50 • Custom 4 BR, 4 1/2 BA Home gallons a day. Evergreen is definitely not a “factory farm.” • Gunite Pool Evergreen tried to establish pasteurized • 4-Stall Morton Barn milk production alongside their raw milk products. The officials specified that they • 2 Jumping Rings • 4 Paddocks would have to “write up a program telling • 5 Run-In Sheds w/fans, step by step how they would clean up a water, electricity raw milk spill.

JOH) GREE) Then the USDA sent a pesticide inspector & COMPA)Y REALTORS from the TN Agriculture Dept. to the farm. Because of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, 108 E.

Evergreen Farms still has quite a num - ber of customers to whom they deliver fresh milk, butter, and eggs every Wednes - day. The milk is delivered in returnable glass bottles, so there is no plastic and no waste container. Jan also delivers whole grains in 50# bags. She says that it is bet - ter to grind grain into flour just before bak - ing. “After one week, all health benefits of grain are lost. So grind the grain just be - fore you make anything with the flour.” With more people becoming more health conscious and interest growing in locally grown and organically grown foods, Evergreen Farms serves that inter - est, providing fresh, wholesome foods.
