I watched one of their speils at the local college on TV. Boy was it something...they almost had me convinced and questioning all I stood for......but then I snapped back to reality and changed the channel. They were taking about blood and puss in milk and all sorts of gross stuff. If I didnt...

Heard on another forum that people have been putting horses on other peoples traielrs at sales, tieing them to other people's trailers, letting them just go. I know around here that people are giving them away because there is no market for them... even "good" riding horses are going cheap...

I think that the public has some issues teling the difference between Animal RIGHTS and Animal WELFARE. I think even among producers there are some things that I would like to change about animal welfare but it isnt going to happen.(like the videos from the slaughtherhouse). I have been to...

I guess they are going to enjoy paying through the nose for their eggs and pork then as hens start eating the eggs and momma pigs start laying on and gutting babies. When all this stuff happens profits start to go out the window.

Way back when I fist started my vet told me the "sick sheep seldom survive".  Its not worth arguing about.... but when you have a ewe come up to eat in the morning and see her eat  then come home later and she is deader then a doornail dont know how else to be observant. I have had a lot of...

I will see if I can find anything..... Like I said it was like a 2 minute thing on the 10 o'clock news. I tried to find it the next day but I will look again.

For the most part "sheep people" dont think too highly of the cattle folk either!

Lost my best ewe just last week...came home from work and there she was out in the pen bloated and prolapsed like there was no tomorrow... no apparent reason and she was alive when I left at 6:30. Always seems to be the good ones that die for no reason and the ones that are worthless live...

VERY TRUE!!!!! (clapping) (clapping)

OK i will get in on this one. say you bought this ram for $44,000 if he is that good ( which I didnt see him yet so I dont know) and you keep him for say 3 years and each year breed him to 50 ewes by year three you COULD not saying you will but you could have 450 lambs out of him ask an average...

His calves are worth around her serious money. I hope for the people's sake that the farmers dont find them because I think that the authorities will find their carcasses in a field somewhere. I'm not sure if they have pigs but if they do they may not find them at all.  ;D. I would be very...

can home on Saturday night from a Pull and turned on the local news. They said that a local farmer had gone out to get his cows in and found one calf had been shot in the head and was fully "field dressed" and the meat was taken off the carcass and the carcass left. I feel bad not only for the...

Good to know... Either way they are gross! Do they look any different DL then the blow fly maggots? I had some on a lamb this year who got the poops before he got docked and there were two diffent sizes of worms. Some SUPER big ones and some really little ones. No matter how dry I try to keep...

well we just finished a long day of fixing fence, shearing sheep and llamas, and dodgeing thunderstorms and it was time to feed. Hubby me and the baby went down to the second barn to take care of our critters and walked down to feed the cattle. well my big ol' black simmy cow didnt come up to...

Get them every year on at least one sheep no matter what I do...The vet told us that the best thing to use is motor oil. pour directly over the "worms" keep like pulling them off with a metal curry comb (gently as the skin will be raw)  and keep pouring it over. I guess that creates and anerobic...

CD & T  Vaccine should be given asap and then boostered in another 2 weeks and then again yearly. I de worm every few months. Watch for sore mouth and lice or keds. Hope this helps. We have a few Boers kicking around and I started with sheep so Good Luck!

Maybe one of those Giant calendars to tell heat dates and days you may be going to fairs.We had one at the farm I used to work for and it worked great. Hope this helps and good luck!

LOL...Thanks for the laughter. Just got work of a local auto recycler that is on fire 100,000 gallons of desiel fuel are involved atleast 2 injured. A local horse puller works there...hope he is ok. heres the link if anyone is interested. I guess my luck isnt that bad today...

Having a  crappy Friday the 13th....how about everyone else? Feel like crap....car didnt pass emissions testing, and now needs to be fixed. I am waiting to see what else goes horribly wrong today......I am not usually superstitious (sp) but today is just going bad for me.
