Here come the next contestant!

Point to me where the animal abuse is.
I see a cow feeding calves like she's supposed to do.
I see no force taking place.
She's not haltered, headlocked, hog tied, hobbled...
Absolutely nothing is making this
1500 # cow stand to feed calves if she choose not to.
Ain't that what ya all are always on about-cows feeding their babies?
Now you’re also not happy about cow-feeding-babies.

The fiber seeds are doing well.
See the little curls on the tips of their fleece?

They grow in utero and after the first shearing these curls never happen again.

Ways one pi**es off the Internet:

Post.

Anything.
Everything.

Someone is always so unhappy with their life that they think they need to try to spread their unhappiness around.

Why do I block out names?

Because unfortunately, no matter how stupid of a comment someone chooses to make-they don’t deserve to be harassed and messaged or threatened.

Usually, unless they block me, their full comment section remains on the original post that they showed their stupidity.

Make up your mind Tanya.

One post you’re mad the babies are taken away from their crying mothers and the next you’re mad Julie is feeding calves!
The red and white is even HER calf.
And the others are orphan BEEF calves, not even dairy calves.

And to top it all off-look at Julie standing there like a good cow feeding calves, no halter or headgate, no kicking, no fighting…

Just feeding them, choosing not to be a cheeseburger because she’s all used up.

$350 cwt is not the same as $350 per head.

👏👏

For those that missed it!!

Obesity in Animals is Abuse

We have normalized obesity here so much so that it’s standing out in our livestock and in our pets.

The round dog that can hardly get around because it’s a bowling ball with legs-not cute-it’s abuse.
That little piggy that can’t see because the fat rolls are covering its eyes and the belly is dragging the ground-that’s abuse.

Every species has their overweight side-and it’s just as bad as the underfed side.

Overfeeding isn’t healthy for anyone.
Breeding and metabolic issues…
And if you’re feeding junk-you’re going to get junk back.
I want my food to eat healthy and be healthy and in return, keep me healthy.

Really tho, we picked these guys up a few years back. A breeding pair of Kune Kunes that were being fed 5 gallon buckets of straight corn a day…..

Corn+Kune Kune=Overweight Grease Balls

They could barely move. When we unloaded them slowly and walked them around 100 feet to their pen and wallow area they about had heart attacks.
I didn’t think the male would be alive the next morning….

They went on a diet, hay with a few snacks here and there, still some feed daily but only a couple handfuls each.
We watched the weight come off of them.

Slowly.
Because you can’t starve them, you need to feed them a proper ration and adjust as time goes.

Once they could move without having little heart attacks, they went to pasture, still getting small amounts of a correct pig feed..

We got them slimmed down but they never bred. The female was placed with one of our proven boars. No piglets.

The male was placed with proven sows. No piglets. He loved to try to breed the cows tho.

Both were harvested.

And this is why I won’t do markets again with the wooly stuff!

It was my almost weekly run to Almena.

I had stopped to pay off our credit account.

Since we get bulk feed from Rice Lake, fuel, bag delivery, agronomy services, and even single bags from the Feed & Seed store, I've found it easier to charge everything and then pay once a week to get the cash discount.

On this day as I stepped though the door, the gentleman ahead of me turned around, saw my shirt, and said, "I love your posts".

Oh! Which ones I asked.

"All of them!"

He then introduced himself and shared that he also selles at farmers markets lamb and chicken.
But he wasn't sure if he was going to do it again this year.

He went on to say that his favorite is when mom & dad walk up with their $10 coffees and the kids in tow, with $7 lemonades. They look at your chicken, which you paid extra for the inspection just so you could even be at the market. And rudely say, "you're overpriced".

Well Julie, your time has come.

You won’t drop your milk with the milker unless I sit and massage it out.

You won’t drop your milk with a big ol dose of oxy.

You don’t seem to much enjoy the calves, but your choice is now calves or cheeseburgers.

Choose wisely.
