BYC Edu thread, keep on rambling - HERE incubation Qs answered, lots of information!!

Sorry Raz! I don't mean to kill you. Cows/cattle are ok. Kinda like chickens...they eat a lot (not as much as horses, I'd say) and they crap a ton. Which brings flies. And they need a pretty decent set up to work with them. (= expensive!) When I was a kid, I used to think I'd by a farm (at 40) and raise cattle. Omg...too old...I'm definitely too old. What was I thinking? I think sheep are a lot easier in every way. And they can't kill you. If there were no men here...there'd be no cattle now. Just sheep and lots and lots of chickens. And guineas. And maybe a turkey or 1000.



Thank you for the well wishes! We hope he'll be ok too. (I'm doing the same thing with the quotes!)

My horse actually eats less than one of my neighbor's Charolais, Angus, and the hybrids from the two. I credit it to him being a Mustang. I've actually seen less flies from the neighbor's cows than my other direst neighbor's over crowded horses. And the smell. Yuck. The cows will never smell that bad!

Hey Raz.

Hey!

Oh, RAZ! He's beautiful!!!

Thank you! He's been with me for 12 years now. I don't know what I'd do without him.

SpiderGirl, I'll race you to Raz's house. First one there gets the horse.

I won't leave here, and you won't leave there. That being said, I still have a better chance of meeting her first.

I moved her and gave her all the guinea eggs laid today. I still can't believe they lay in this water trough/converted nesting area....lol!
Now she's happy.

Don't tempt me! I could do it. Heck, I could probably make a fidget spinner.

oh that will certainly keep you busy wont it! I bet it would be cool too!

You're killing me, Wicked! I've wanted cows for years and that calf is super adorable! I don't have the room, though, my horse hates cows with a passion! I'd never be able to keep them separate.

oh course you have room!!! mini cows are lovely!!

I'll admit I've never been exposed to more than 2 horses at a time...lol. I have never smelled "horse poo" like that. I love the smell of the actual horse though. I miss that.
I like cattle...but I think you like them more than me. I try to select the stock that the flies don't bother. I don't know why the flies like our white houses SO much. I hate flies.
