stampede and more
feat. my firework reviews where i do not sound like a hosehead at all. wait’ll you see/hear the rest ugh.
we had to walk through the field to collect cousin sean‘s car from the nite before and the entire party of cows were slowly making their way from one field to the next then coming right at us, just ambling, until they saw us. sean declared we should make a wide berth detour around them i was thinking fuck that (in order to go around them it would require running through the wide open field, and running would set them off, no thanks) and beat it on over to the trees which in hindsight is what probably spooked them into charging full throttle (they’re skittish) about 60 of ‘em and they’re a good 1000lbs each give or take. fil found that experience to be exhilarating. yeah maybe after the fact cos we came out unscathed buuuut i dunno, a good ten or so took the other half of the grove route, encircling us. it was a very national geographic moment in time. plenty of bulls in the mix and mama cows and their young, probably more dangerous than a bull if you accidentally get between them. also, cows are curious creatures and it freaks you out pretty bad cos they stop and stare at you, fifty faces all in a row and then one sneezes unexpectedly, you (me) get spooked and scream then the herd flinches and the biggest one of the bunch comes the closest. very on edge. not to mention the live fences. it was scary because i felt helpless regardless of the tree, i almost fucking climbed it when i saw the other cows coming up behind us.
love this radio.
keep refreshing this post/page i’m adding more and more to it.
hey check out this house, bet some open minded people live here yeah?
casa de racisto comin’ right up. remember i had a chat with a skinhead once, here it is.
I must have that radio.
Have you ever checked out The Cherry Blossom Girl’s blog (from France)? She has really dreamy, whimsical posts you might love.
yes her site, clothes, pictures, settings break my heart completely.
Cows are the creepiest thing ever. Don’t like them one bit. I used to stand across from a field of them every day, waiting for the bus. They can outstare even me, which is impressive.
heh hearing city folk (no offense!) talk about livestock is pretty cute
you’d be surprised to find out that mama cows dont usually give a fuck about peeps getting near their calves, unless you are a coyote or something…you’d be lucky if you could get close to the lil bugger with or without mama haha
candice you wanna get creeped out big time? come watch me pull a calf out of the birth canal; you can hold the hockey stick while i wrap the chains!
holy shit. well that particular mom was a bit feisty.
if she was feisty did you notice if she had a chain around her neck? usually the farmers keep one on if they are hard to get ahold of later; as long as you sorta know what you are doing you can go up to the (usuall) left side of her and grab ahold and lead her wherever you like…
i have decided that when i get married its gonna be in a pasture, complete with jersey cows wearing shiny bells, meandering about during the ceremony….sigh
yes rope around her neck and kept out of the field away from the rest of them, tending to her babies and guarding them.
Cows don’t USUALLY give a fuck if you’re between them and their calf, but it’s not the greatest idea. Any sort of dogs, yeah, they hate that shit.
And I’ve seen a calf being born (never with assistance, though). Not that much of an ick factor to me. I’m originally from Hicksville, Ontario…
if you’re told to stay away from a certain cow, then you do it, regardless of young or not.
she had more than one? weird! might not have all been hers but yeah that sounds like one that just gave birth, hormone crazy!
i dunno if you knew this, but dairy cows are bred specifically to generate more milk; they get milked until they’re “dry” and then go to pasture while knocked up, then milked again and so on; whereas beef cows, well, they just pop out babies to keep the herd numbers up
beef cows are usually less friendly because they arent handled as much; if you can find a dairy farm, those cows will let you feed em and pet em until your hand drops off or you run out of grass, one of the two
would make a super awesome excellent post, i think!
they were hers yes. also has a chain around her neck and i think these are beef cows.
yeah candice i would not fuck with a dog and her babies, no way no how…
they are definitely for eatin’, not milkin’, and the cow actually gave birth to twins (one of whom she refuses to feed – they have to tie her up and put a bag on her head to let the disliked one latch on and suckle). she’s got a chain and a rope on her neck, and is kept separate (with her calves) from the herd (which includes a bunch of other calves).
Welp, I meant that cows hate hate hate dogs, but yeah, dogs’re a just weeeeee bit protective of their young.
Accidentally get between a wolf and its pups, so long to you!
ya twinsies isnt unheard-of; in the dairy world that usually means one if not both of the calves will be sterile..
it happened to our neighbors who show cows professionally so they just gave the female to my mom for a pet; thats atleast a half-million dollar cow’s potential down the drain :S
I Love Cows
Is that Jodie some kind of cow genius or what???
DR
i have seen a dog interact with cows and no one seemed to be hatin’.
anyway the real reason i’m commenting is because i cannot understand why a canadian would have a confederate flag hanging. was it a southern who moved to canada b/c they don’t believe in the union? i know americans misappropriate other cultural symbols all the time is that what is going on here?
cos they’re racist hicks and they think the flag means something to them – there isn’t a canadian version of a confederate flag so the condfederate flag is the closest they have, it sends a message, southern pride i guess but mostly white supremacy. the confederate flag has been misappropriated by many many racists and is why over time has become synonymous with racism IMO and of course being flanked by two white power flags doesn’t exactly help disprove that. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6eonppuEMEo/SUU1RsQ7qiI/AAAAAAAAEeM/F_qWBFylecU/s400/Stormfrontlogo.gif

Thanks =)
