Tracking MAK

[Donna]

Hey MAK, I think you posted the wrong link to your KGallery album.

I think you're right Carol. I'm having problems, hopefully I can get a link that works.

OK I think it works now.

Yay!  Got into your album MAK.  Love all the pictures.  That Fox Squirrel was interesting.  Never saw one before.   

[MAK]

Carol there's more pics of those squirrels in todays album.  Day 17 started out with the cows coming up behind the house. I was filling the bird feeders with my buddies Bo and Roscoe at my heels when Bo decided to play with a cow. Today I had no luck with raptors. I saw 4 hawks and they all eluded my camera. But no worries there's always something around here to see. Hopefully todays link will work and if it doesn't let me know and keep smiling anyway!

Question.  My farm experience was with Dairy Cows back in the days before artificial insemination (you needed a real bull to get the job done).  The cows marked as bred, but not preggers, do they get another shot or do they go to the plate?

They get another shot. They just mark them so they can keep track. Mike tells me that the ones they inseminate artificially are also mated with bulls to ensure that they get prego. MOOOOOO!!!!!!  lol I also was told that they glue patches on their back side with sensors that tell the serial number of the heiffer when it gets mounted. This tells them who is in heat because the heiffers and bulls are kept separated and hormones drive the females to mount each other. I'm learning a lot here tho it's not really stuff I will ever use in my life unless I move to a cattle ranch!

Thanks - you never know when you might use that info.  I had a great time when working with a couple of 7th Avenue buyers (born and raised in NYC) that thought the milk originated in the cardboard box!  I had such a good time  ...

Wait until they find out where eggs come from.

Um, wouldn't that tend to defeat the purpose of spending several thousand dollars, in some cases, for a champion bull's frozen semen, then also using the resident Ferdinand for the same pregnancy?
