I won't watch television and only bother with a few movies. They should stick to doing what they do...pretending to be someone else...and leave those who work alone.<br /><br />JB, I understand completely...a whole different management system. We are so close to ours so much of the time.<br /><br />Linda,some of them should be ashamed of themselves. Anything, anything at all, for publicity.<br /><br />Jeffro....hmmmm.....<br /><br />Ellie, I think it occurs far too much and everywhere.

It is easy, cheap, doesn't make a mess and I have seen no evidence that it causes any pain (and believe me, we watch for that). We have been all over the dehorning spectrum on our farm as well and we wont have anymore horns here. Once those cows learn to use those horns, they are just too darned dangerous.The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.com
