• It’s not enough….

    ….we have to fill out forms, register and track our animals, etc, etc.  We also have to keep the place neat.  Certainly no bushes growing near the road. A small organic farm in Texas committed that sin but the sheriff just didn’t drop by with a warning….or just a summons.  Nope, he sent the SWAT team in!  Again, you think I exaggerate. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/15/texas-swat-team-conducts-_n_3764951.html

  • If this keeps up….

    ….soon all beef will be grass fed. ….and chicken will cost as much as beef. ….and we’ll all be eating artificial meat and poultry!  Don’t kid yourself; that’s the plan. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/356106/corn-broke-cattlemans-back-jillian-kay-Melchior There are quibbles I could make about the article, but at least the mainstream is beginning to question the government on this, too.

  • Some prizes are better than others….

    ….and the ones that hold a pint are best of all!  Here, our Cornwall Devon partner Chris Cleave holds the silver tankard he won for best commercial sheep in a recent show. Pictures do lie.  Juliet assures me that the tankard was not used in the celebration after the show!
