I've never had cows....it's on the list, though. These cows are dairy cows, they boys don't produce much milk, also they take longer to 'grow out' and even when they're grown out. They'll never produce the amount of meat, in the right places as a 'meat cow' would.
This is Biggie. 6 week old Black Jersey Giant. My question to you is: hen or roo?
I don't have this breed, a clearer picture of comb and wattles would help. From this pic at this age I would guess pullet.
Silkie, love the baby pics! So cute!
Hey guys, never been to the Green Dragon, but it's on my list to get to. Any suggestions? What's kinda stuff is there? Does anyone go to Zern's? I haven't been there since I was a kid. Is it even still open?
Green Dragon Suggestions: if you're selling, get there by 3:30 to drop off or your stuff will sell really late and bring low prices. If you're buying. The auction starts at 6:30, large animals go at 8 and the auction lasts into the wee hours of the morning usually. When you leave the auction, go ahead and just burn your clothes. Ok, just kidding, but you should shower, wash your clothes and change your shoes before going near your own animals. And if you do buy any birds ANYWHERE, for Pete's sake, QUARANTINE, or risk losing your flock.
There is al kinds of food and flea market kinda stuff there during the day, hand bags, produce, leather goods, jewelry, sunglasses. The inside buildings have books, furniture, there's a shoe place I like that sells Mucks and all kinda other boots, a diner....oh boy, seems like any time I go, I find some new store I hadn't noticed before. Outside are so many booths and outbuildings that we wander around lost most of the time, calling each other on our cells, 'WHERE ARE YOU?!" -"Uhhhh, I have no idea where I am, where are you?" And then we wander around until we run into each other. This happened quite a few times last night.
