Coffee anyone ?

But, but, but . . . don't y'all understand? There is an ulterior motive here; it's not really about "animal cruelty." It's about a totally different crime against nature (if I may appropriate the term); that of keeping livestock, full stop. Meat being the invention of the devil is pretty much the mindset. If it becomes unprofitable to farm, people will get out of it, and there will be fewer lives getting taken, fewer animals getting born into the unnatural life of being raised just to get eaten, land that is being taken up raising feed can be used to feed people instead, soooo much less greenhouse gases and other environmental damage being done. The ultimate goal isn't making life for farm animals pleasanter, it's getting rid of farmed animals, period. That's what they are really doing, just doing it one small step at a time.

@Bunnylady is correct. It's all about changing our whole way of life.

Coffee is on!

Thanks for the coffee, but I think I’ll be drinking a cup of tea myself. Today I need to figure out how my ducks keep escaping. There are no holes in the fence that I can tell and no way to get under. But they’ve been out on two sides. Time to put my sleuth hat on lol.

Explicit Morning to all. Got all the garden goody's Sun and every thing else took so much longer than it's should've yesterday that I didn't get one thing planted or even go into the garden. I went to move a young bull that chases the feed bucket. So I had the wife come to drive the 4 wheeler back while I walked behind. 2hrs later I saddled up a horse. The bull and a neighbor's heifer were in the pen at that time, so I was further behind than when I started.

On a good note the youngest 18mths finally held on to the saddle horn to be led around. He usually is just there and you can't move. He would even lean off if left alone. To much faith in us I guess. Sometimes you gotta be fast he'll take a step of the porch at you and you'd better catch him because he's not looking down and just reaching out.

So sweet😍 my kids tend to freak out lol when my oldest was a baby i worked with horses and she rode with me now haven't seen a saddle in years. Our cow will let the kids with on her but the minute she starts walking(on lead with someone right next to them) They scream lol.

My grandparents had this feisty horse, wouldn’t let anyone ride her and had a reputation for being unbreakable. My cousin comes along and he can hang off her legs, ride her, anything he wants. When he was a baby he chewed on her (he was over his mom’s shoulder and they didn’t realize) she loved him til the day she died. Anyone else? Not for love or carrots.

My older brother broke a stud horse for my mother when I was a kid. They would tether him out in the yard to halter break them around a big spool with a post run in the hole in the middle. So as a yearling I was allllll over that stud horse. Sometimes falling asleep on his back before he was 2. Later after being broke and me riding him a while at the age of 14-16 I rode to work at the neighbors and they made a bet that he was NOT a stud and had to look.

Today I work on the road and tell the wife just hanging out with them, petting, rubbing their ears and legs while I'm gone can be the best start for them vs. anything. Then my job is easy.

@CLSranch That horse is a million dollar horse. Maybe not to anybody else, but he certainly is worth that much to you.
