No, wasn't upset - just hoping to work out these details. And I also am not too crazy about what I've learned about the mass chicken industry as well. It's why we have layers and may one day do meat birds, but probably not freak birds. It's really weird (further, it can be a really bad deal...

Shellz, heheh, I know all that about Cornish Rock crosses - am just noting their harvest age - how early it is. Whether we like it or not, it's a benchmark. I know many European born people who hate our chickens because they are bland and have no chicken flavor. This is because they're...

19 weeks is getting old. Was it tough or stringy? Roosters reach a point where they st art to go tough. Or maybe the hatchery didn't have the nest dorkings? Supermarket chickens are rarely over 7 weeks old.

Hey Shellz, yeah, that'd be awesome. A roast chicken the size of a small turkey! And good meat, too. I can find almost no information on Melines, save there's a regular kind and an extremely rare "turkey faced" kind. That one, by the picture I found, looks half Malay, which is a really...

Belgian Maline seems interesting. Huge bird with gourmet potential. NJ giant's meat gets criticized a lot. Fairly? I don't know, but people say too much bone, grainy, too gamey. This one might be better table fare.

F, nice find! M, that,s One messed up fox. Cover trap with branches, shoveled snow, w/e. S, Belgian malline s huh? Gotta look those up..

Yeah, that is a high price - you would only make $ back selling calves and if others pay that. Now, realistically, I bet you can get a mini j cheaper than that. But at $200 for a young Nigerian doe - or w/e goat breed you go for - it's hard to go wrong. What goat breed would you go for...

Hey Mygirls, I looked up mini jerseys and found a site comparing them with goats. AI for a mini is at least $120 including shipping. That may not include your vet's charge, if u use a vet. Mini J's are $2,000 a piece and up, if this site is right! They say an a2/a2 cow is $5,000 (genetic...

Hm, 2 acres, 2 miniature cows.... You said it's rocky - mountainous - or is there a lot of grass? What kind? Native? Does it get dry, i.e. goes brown in summer? Or is the grass green from April to October in a non-drought year? We ran at one point one Brangus cow-calf combination per 2...

Mygirls, What breed is that? Cute lil calves!. Make sure you socialize em with the dogs - but you know that! We only had beef cattle - weren't there every day to milk. Ours were huge and mean - Brangus. Thank goodness none of us got hurt working them. Needless to say I don't feel guilty...

Have any of you read the ' cop killer's' manifesto? I won't blame you if you don't want to, but it is fascinating. I know he did evil things - but his words were not what I expected. Don't necessarily read it all - but at least the first quarter to half. He's not the whack job the media is...

One of the factors that's really influencing the world is electronic media. It used to be, for better or worse, that media content (books, newspapers, plays - even early television to some extent) was controlled, centralized. In Europe there was outright censorship. Here it was more that...

Shellz, I just edited my above post to make clear my point - it wasn't clear the first way I wrote it. Sorry about that! I'm sorry you can't find a church or w/e type of organization that you'd like. This is entirely normal. I'm lucky I grew up in a very tolerant and liberal church. Had...

Hey Shellz, yeah religion is a big can of worms! Politics and police problems are bad enough! Hah. If I may say, I also prefer to speak of corrupt religious leaders (and I'm glad you said it this way - I'm editing to make sure I'm clear on this - I wasn't at first go, sorry), not religion in...

Shellz, I hate to tell you, but we have excellent training. This can happen anywhere. THe whole issue of needing police and police corruption - and police incompetence - it's a bad tangle. Cops have always been heavy handed - or some have - and were notorious for civil rights violations...

Yeah JR terriers are insane - but very loyal to their owners.

Yeah, understood about dogo - I know they're not pitbulls, but the original line was a fighter. They bred it out, but is it all gone in all dogs - of course a g ret can bite, too - but won't kill. (if so, it's very rare) - but a 120 lb dog, if it bites, it's bad -- and yeah, not sure I'd want a...

NH, thought I read red stars - rangers - yeah, meat birds. Those too are hybrids, IIRC, and won't breed true. You could always get a few N.J. G pullet chicks tossed into an order - many hatcheries will work with you - or do you also have N.J. G hens? How are N.J. G for eating? I've read...

I wish it weren't a problem, but it's a huge one - the rural hijacking of our country. The founders wanted to prevent 'the tyranny of the 51,' meaning that even in a democracy things can go bad (and have historically - even in ancient Athens there were heinous things done). (the tyranny is...
