I had some issues with a guy who thought he would make himself a spot in my life by force. He didn't want to find out if I would use them on him or not. Worked well.

Nothing says "Leave me alone" like handing a fellow his balls in a pickle jar.

I can top that...With the look a dog gives you when he gets back from the vet and realizes that something he used to lick is now missing...

I realized something last night...I have a cow , half a tail missing ,one eye bigger than the other,charges you if you go anywhere near her, and she's a mean old bitch, kicked me in the hand a few nights ago,..and GG...ironicaly the number on her ear tag is 317..

A quick total give or take a few head...I'm at 347 calves, with several sets of twins, and 3 losses.....hope you all like steak in about 2 years.

He's here. He's here. Bright and early this morning, we had a little red and white paint colt waiting on us.

Had a rough night.....Could someone please explain to me ...WHY...I'm doing this ?

So a week ago I had a premature calf on the ground, and have been milking the mother and bottle feeding it......every 3 hours night and day...and I'm exhausted beyond belief,...and a few minutes ago she finally fed herself.
It's a small victory, but a victory none the less.

How is that little one doing???



Ma

Hey Syb, there was a video I saw yesterday online of a female moose who was trying to defend her calf from what started out as one wolf, and ultimately 6. It was kinda hard to watch because it didnt end well, but it painted a pretty clear picture of what you go through with those nasty bastards

i also believe that they will not attack a a rancher's livestock, unless there is no other choice. if there are plenty of deer, moose, elk, caribou, etc around, most wolves will hunt those creatures before domestic livestock generally, correct?

The thing that is most misunderstood about wolves is people think they will kill multiple animals because of blood lust, they will kill one,and then another, and another....
With Timber wolves and Arctic wolves in a cold climate, the carcass will freeze, keeping up to 7 or 8 months, and they will come back to feed all winter...they will not waste.
A Rancher will inspect the kills leaving his scent, and they won't go within 500 feet of their kill at that point, giving the appearance that they waste, or kill for the fun of it. They have incredible risk of injury to themselves when they try to take down an animal, and will keep that risk to a minimum.
Usually the Alpha pair will only breed and have pups, and that is determined by the amount of food available to the entire pack,...so to wolves, food is everything, it is the determining factor in the size of family, strength, health, and common welfare,...and normal pack behaviour also determines the general health of prey animals, taking down the old and weak first, and sadley the very young.
I respect them for what they are, and ask they respect me also, giving me my space, when they don't.. we both suffer.
Thank you for thinking of me Free.
