Very good article, I love animals myself, I’ve been interested in animals from a very young age and this article was really interesting.

As an award recipient (if you accept), you too get to pass along the award to five of your favorite blogs. If you do not wish to accept, you still get mentioned on my blog as one of my favorites. It’s all about exposure!

Here’s where you can read about your award: http://www.haikufarm.blogspot.com

If you accept the award, this will tell you the “rules” of the Superior Scribbler Award.

Yee ha! What a pair of professional cowboys you’re becoming! I think I would have needed something strong to wash down my eggs for dinner after that adventure in mustering. Thanks for a fabulous read and congratulations on the outcome. Hope you get the fence nearest your property fixed up soon and sorry to hear about the gourmet feast the cows consumed!

Colour – I can’t imagine ever passing on wisdom to newcomers! But maybe some day…

Hmm… We should try the lovely lass trick next time… Good luck finding out what’s getting at your poor hens. Terrible!

Horn sharpening in the night?! Sounds scary.

There are lots of “learning” experiences on a farm ! I have discovered a lot of them first hand. (Glad it’s not just me!) We just started our farm a little over a year and a half ago. I can’t imagine life any other way now, even with the goofy mistakes I make that would make old farmers just shake their heads. It is either laugh or cry and I prefer to laugh! Besides it makes for great blog material!

:D
it’s lines like
“Although cows are smart, fortunately their lack of opposable thumbs makes it difficult for them to open the clasp on a farm gate.” that I love!

and when you are old ‘proper farmers’ you will be passing on these pearls of wisdom to newcomers…

*chuckle*

A few weeks ago we were driving one of our frequent guests to town to pick up a few things, and almost ran into a bull. Seems he managed to escape from the pasture he was in, and was hopping mad. The local fellows were trying to entice him back into his fenced area using a cow, and a dashing lass she was, too. ;)

Our major issue right now is dealing with whatever is decimating our chickens. At first it was chicks (we had 50 broilers arrive a couple of weeks ago), and then last night whatever it was took 2 hens. It eats them partly in the pen, and then takes off. Grr! We think it’s a weasle, but we’re not sure. We’re setting a trap tomorrow, and we re-secured things tonight.
