Seriously buffaloes are like addictions. There are so many YouTube channels here that feature buffaloes. Cows are worshipped and considered sacred in India, but buffaloes sell for twice or more even when they give same or less amount of milk.
There are multimillionairs and there are people sleeping on the bench. There is a lot of poverty in India. Many people are living in extreme misery. There are many reasons for that too. Caste system is a major driving force behind the poverty and it's very pervasive. It persists even after...
I think there are many reasons, both socioeconomic traditions and government policy, why things are cheap here. Government provides heavily subsidized rice and wheat to a vast majority of people, almost every household without a government job, many people just don't choose to take it. Our homes...
Sometimes when I am out on a trip and I don't have WiFi I end up using all 2 GB high speed data on a single day and then the plan provides I love watching YouTube videos and also listening to audiobooks. This has become kind of a habit, when I am doing my job, I just keep listening while I am...
I forgot that the internet is not as cheap in USA as it is in India. We get 4G network, two GB data each day + unlimited call and SMS for three months, for less than 600 ₹ that would be 8 $. I don't know the price of internet in the States though, but I would guess that it is much more...
There's a great Water Buffalo farm in Canada. It goes by the name "Ontario Water Buffalo Company". They seem to have quite a few Water Buffaloes over there. Unfortunately however they don't have a YouTube channel, though they do have a Facebook Page, I think.
Here's a tour video of their farm...
I am in Delhi, but I love Bihar. I know it's got a bad reputation, but I can't help loving. It's in Bihar one can get the true essence of rural India. It gave the world personalities like Buddha, Ashoka, George Orwell etc.
We have our own wild cattle called Gaur. They are much less gregarious than bisons though. They are found in South Asia and parts of South East Asia.
Their domesticated form is called Mithun or Gayal. They are kept in North East India, in and around Yunnan region of China, Bangladesh and...
That's why you may have noticed how much emphasis I put on the difference between animals called buffaloes. This name sharing has given a very bad reputation to Water Buffaloes. Now at the same time we cannot change their name either, because the domestic Water Buffaloes were the first animals...
The production Toulouse geese are also pretty calm. They are also better broodies than more common breed. Buff and cotton patch geese are also comparatively better mom's, but they are smaller than Toulouse.
From what I have been told reindeer provide rich milk albeit in a small amount, just a cup each. Maybe in a more temperate climate like Texas they would provide more milk. I wonder how their meat tastes like.
It does look like it is raining everywhere except California. Your mudhole looks like something my buffaloes would enjoy.
We are also having the first excess monsoon in twenty-five years. We went through a horrible flood this year and lost 90% of our rice crop. It stopped raining less than a...
What a wonderful thread!!! It's the cutest little thread I have been through on BYH. I thoroughly enjoyed it. @MuldrowHomeFarm you and your family are such a nice group of people. I wish you were my neighbours (not that my neighbours are bad). I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I hope you will keep...
Yes, I understand your point, but a completely domesticated species is widespread. For example chickens were domesticated in South and Southeast Asia from the jungle fowl. They are native to the same areas where buffaloes are native to, but they became widespread in antiquity.
Now obviously...
