Cute! I ride my cow, too.

That calf was only 4 months old at the time of the pic!

That disappoints me. I figured it for three weeks at most. Are all the cows in Texas undersized like that?

I have actually never vaccinated my birds for mareks but I’m not opposed. The only birds I ever had that were vaccinated for mareks were Silkies from Alabama Silkies and I never had any issues with having them in my flock.

I had problems with Mareks. Did a ton of research and my decision was to vaccinate. I have older birds that have no outward symptoms of Mareks.

to each his own on that.

Wow, that is NOT the modern Texas “interpretation of a Hereford” I was referring to, lol

I think you’ve given yourself away as a dirty cattle rustler though... you must have snuck up this way and swiped some good ozark Herefords when we still had them

nah, we talk a lot about Texas “ruining” cattle here because of all the Texas research farm AI influence from the last few decades. I guess it’s mostly just a move toward efficiency, but the breed confirmations seems to have changed so drastically that they don’t look like the same thing compared to before all that.

I think where a lot of arguments start on here relating to chickens health just comes down to personal experiences. The problems start when someone starts stating how DE treats worms or mites for example when in reality the person hasn’t had chickens over a year and assumes it works cause they haven’t seen any issues. They go on a posting campaign preaching the gospel everywhere they can.
Then we have the people with 5 chickens that have probably never dealt with half the issues they’re responding to which further muddies the water. You’d think someone was paying these people to be first to *help*.

Oh, is antifreeze the trick to help them evade hawks? I thought it was Red Bull

Wait, you’re not writing down notes from all this absurdity planning to work this ‘wisdom’ into your keeping practices are you?

Oh, I don’t “keep” chickens. They wander around my woods and evade all predators! One of them is 97 years old.

97 is still considered a young pullet in my Cracker Jack line

Any for sale? Preferably one of the old ones!

Still cranking out 7 eggs a day in that line. One day I’ll get ahold of those magic birds.
