77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

Bear Gryliss is an idiot. Aren't these shows supposed to be some what realistic. Lots of thing Bear does many the average person can't do and if they did would become a statistic, lol. Yes, lets try and climb that waterfall, WHOOPS I fell and broke my leg, wonder if that Jaguar will eat me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks he is a tool.

I watch Survivor Man or something else at least he does stuff we could do.

I like to watch Man Woman Wild. Husband and wife in survival mode. He was special forces and she's along for the learning experience. It's an interesting show and fairly realistic in what can be done...although some of the situations aren't likely for most people but they are trying to be as diverse as possible. :/

I'm liking the pampering of said Wife. I think I'm going to get "hurt" more often, with all the back rubs, serving me sofa side dinners, drinks and other wonderful things....heee, heee. .
I changed my password and I'm invincible, muwahaha.

My DH gets whiny when he's sick or hurting and so gets no sympathy from me (well...very little anyhow)

I have a friend who is is on the Mountain Search and Rescue team for Mt Hood. He hates those shows. He says those and cell phones have made his job 10x more difficult.

I get that. People think just because they watched a show or have a cell that they are unstoppable or invincible. People like that are looking to get themselves killed and cause harm to others who come looking for them. Most people would tend to panic first and have a hard time remembering just what they "learned" on that tv show.

Yeah, I hear ya Jodie. If I got lost on a Mountain and used my cell phone, they would ask were are you and I would say, LOST ON A MOUNTAIN, lol.

On a side note I foolishly attempted a chore today as the kid had urgent need to get home and there was only one thing left to do. It was to push down the hay in the bucks pen as it had gotten wedged up top and the young bucks couldn't reach it well. The bucks have been acting dumb since Elevan and the others mentioned their goats were acting stupid, "I think Goats can read minds". I had to use an old cane of mine with a cattle prod I had duct tape to it, just in case.
I hobbled out and thought if I got injured some more of what the Wife would rant about since she wasn't home yet from work and I was then alone. I went into the pen and the bucks were grunting and head butting each other as I worked to get the hay unstuck and then all of a sudden WAM! A little @#$%@^ rams the back of my thigh and I go into the hay rack but he wasn't expecting angry hobbled farmer to turn around so quickly and jolt him in the shoulder...my god never heard a bleat so loud! He shot to the other side of the pen bleating like a coward as I said some colorful words he's way. The other calmer buck just looked at me and bid a hasty retreat as I pulled down the rest of the hay and left the pen, thinking of that buck as a nice roast with mashed potatoes, mmmm.
Unfortunately fate wasn't on my side as I had JUST got my pants off in the bedroom, my wife comes up the stairs to change out of work clothes and of course she sees the large new bruise on my thigh and let me have it.. I did the only safe thing, which was too

Yeah, that Man Women wild is a stitch and has some good stuff. There's also a pretty good show with a former Special Forces guy and a Nature Folky Guy, that show really cracks me up.

I really do believe that they can read our thoughts at times...especially kidding time

OUCH! When they do stuff like that it definitely makes you want to think of them as dinner.

Yes, said Goat buck is on the death list.... I am having difficulty deciding over Goats or Sheep. I need pro's and con's.
I'm willing to shear but not egar, lol. I don't really want Boer goats rather, Kiko, Myotonic's or Commercial mix.
In the Sheep department I'm considering many breeds such as Icelandic, Finnsheep, Southdowns, Ill France, Shetlands and others.

 

[daisychick]

If I had the space I would have a nice flock of the Katahdin sheep! You don't have to shear them and they are supposed to produce lean meat. But on the other hand I do like goats, in my dream world I would still keep at least 4 goats just for milk and fun and not keep a buck. So you could have the best of both worlds. I would rather eat lamb than goat. Ok there is my 2 cents.

 

[77Herford]

Those do look nice.

 

[77Herford]

Daisy maybe you should just buy all my livestock for me, lol...JUST KIDDING.

 

[daisychick]

You really should read up on those sheep. I have heard nothing but good about them and how hardy they are. And I love the no shearing part. I don't want to be your personal livestock buyer, but I will be a consultant. That's why I love this site and BYC, because you can get people's opinions and experiences and it really helps make better decisions.

Check out this Iowa farm that has some of those cool sheep. http://www.cedarcreekenglishshepherds.com/sheep.html
