OK last one doesnt look like a possiblity of angle deception.... You know having the goat closer to the camera making it look larger....

I think the MASSIVE head on that makes it seem larger than it is. Definitely looking more reasonably sized in this photo.

any chance it's photo shopped?

Nope!

Yep! I found out recently that if you Right Mouse (at least in Chrome) on a photo, one of the options is to Search the web for the photo.

That is a milking beetel goat, 4 months pregnant. For sale in Lahore, Pakistan for 22,000 Rs (Pakistani Rupee) or about $210.

The entire world is losing its collective mind... and forcing their dementia onto the rest of us who are trying our best to remain sane and sensible.

Amen.

Ditto. I live in California and definitely want out of this State. But but no worries, Alaskan,bc I hate cold,snowy weather, so Alaska isn't for me My husband lived up there for 20 years when he was alot younger. He'd probably not mind it a bit,but oh well. That's why I ended up in a very hot place in CA.bc I used to live in New England prior to CA. CA is getting terrible about EVERYTHING,and now that I'm old,I can't handle the 105++days on end anymore.I just don't think there's a place in the U.S. where I could find mid 70° summers and no snow winters (winters like we have here),and I need some woods around me,too

the US is a pretty big place... I am sure somewhere has temps like that.

Me, I LOVED the weather in the 90s when I was down in Texas this summer. Just wonderful bake my bones weather. It makes all of my pain filled joints feel so much better!

Alaskan never knew you were a "closet" heat lover. Didn't you originate from Texas and move to the great icebox (Alaska)?

We have had six heatwaves this summer so far with temps up to 111° & nights still holding at like 98° as late as 11:30. Those nights I do like bc we enjoy night fishing, so without the sun beating down on us, it's good. Both me and my husband are redheads. He tans.I don't.I have family in central NC, and I love it there,but they got plowed with a really bad winter last year. Now,I'm having second thoughts about moving there.We have time to figure it out. My Mom is still living, and she won't move. She's 89 & I'm all she has, so we aren't ready to go anywhere yet. Just thinking and dreaming about the woods right now

"The woods" is GOOD! and I agree, 70 degrees year round would be about perfect! Now if I could have the fall foliage and something other than flat featureless land to go with both, I'd almost consider it heaven! I have 2 red headed kids and they both burn... tan? what's a tan?

I used to tan really well when younger, now all I seem to get is farmer's tans (short sleeves, arm out the truck window while driving)

Whatever is wrong with those two states above you?

I lived on the WEsT Coast (BC, Northern Vancouver Island) for like 25+ years...I see summer temps in like Oregon/Washington are round about mid 70's...not that that will save yer butt because the HUMIDITY is the killer part which makes the mercury LIE! Not absolutely NO snow winters (you get Coast SNOWS which are the worst kind of snow to drive in...soppy wet and grabs your vehicle and drags you about...not powdery sand that flies outta the way, eh) but not even close to Alberta winters if you go to the Coastal parts of those two US places.

So you say "mid 70 summer, no snow and WOODS"...just look North...Coast, Oregon and Washington, which BTW are just UNDER where I resided for decades in British Columbia. Would I go back, and have I...heck no but your list says nothing about liquid sunshine! LMBO There are no perfect places...no always year round good because most often things like earthquakes, storms, etc. ruin it being perfection.

Coop fur Sure - summer​

Now us here, we could never live in the States...nope and nada...Great White North forever. But that be us. Two seasons here in Alberta...GREEN and the WHITE and the longer we stay here, the more the rains from the WEsT Coast seem to have followed us. Everyday since the end of summer (May; dry, hot & burnt Ft. Mac to the ground), getting rains...every single ding dang day...but she's green, oh my she is GREEN...sheeps can barely keep up to the growth and I had to skip the Veg garden since the seed would have rotted in the ground. Got mini slugs (no bananas have yet migrated here...thank doG) now...but got a greenhouse plum fulla tomatoes (saw my first REAL tomato starting to form--WOOT!) and cukes, watermelon, okra...

Winter...ten months anyone?

​

So point that wagon North and build yourself a greenhouse if'n you garden to control the heaven sent downwards water. Put metal roofs on the coops and runs (so your chooks are not leg deep in putrid mud all year) and be blessed.

California...that to so many of us would be heck on Earth...never mind when I hear Toronto, Arizona and places east or south of us are getting in the high 40's...blah. You don't go outside, you run from air conditioning to air conditioning...THAT is no life...THAT is no summer time!

Persian Sheep - contributor breed to half my DorPERS (as in PERS for Persian)​

Oh and BTW, I love dewlaps on goats and sheep...an acquired taste like in the Toulouse goose (you hate it or it GROWS on ewe) ...like going from beer to sherry...pinkies up...embrace the face because, well uh, it is a refinement we all may eventually find ourselves trying to tuck up...that age worn refined improvement...double chinny chin chins.

Doggone & Chicken UP!

I used to keep my horses at a farm where they guy raised cattle, well, he threw several cows and a bull in a field and every now and then rounded up the calves and trucked them off... mixed breeds all over the place... anyway, there was a cow there that looked to be a mixture of black angus and brahma, she had the dewlap and big low set ears like the brahma, but she looked like a giant black angus, most of the angus looking cows in his field were about 4 feet tall, this lady was around 5 feet or maybe a little larger, but she had the chunky angus body.... prettiest cow I've seen in a long time...
