Or Lothlórien, the golden wood of Galadriel and Celeborn!

Lothlórien is where the deer feeder is

Okay, so you said some strange things have happened in those woods. Fangorn, home of angry trees?

I'd have plenty of guinea hens. Noisy buggers, but good for tick control.

Well a reason not to axe free range Cogburn the third who is becoming as obnoxious as his granddaddy Cogburn the Flogger.

What color do you have? I only have yellow ones. Iris can survive my neglect, so I am a big fam of them. LOL

When I thin these, I can give you a few.

Have you all seen this?

You did not mention the name... I am assuming it is theileriosis ? It has been in Va for several years... and is devastating to some cattle... a purebred breeder lost several animals and a bull when it was first detected in Va and it has spread. It can cause abortions, among other things like high fevers and such.... and once they get it, if they get over it, they carry it for life. Usually once they get past the initial phase, they can go on and breed and produce calves .... It has been found in approx 15-16 states.

You can go to the govt USDA website... and type in theileriosis and there is a fact sheet on it..

We had one cow that aborted that tested positive for it... shipped others that we did not test...

The Asian longhorn tick carries multiple diseases... including the Rocky Mountain spotted fever and the Alpha-Gal allergy that I tested positive to both for... but many different species of ticks now carry multiple tick diseases...

It also will infect sheep and goats and other mammals....

Good morning. The wind is still blowing and gusting really hard. I had to go outside yesterday afternoon for something and had a 3-4' tumbleweed slam into me... what are the odds of that...lol

How heavy is a tumbleweed?
