Jr Frye, it is frustrating getting "Used" animals. My wife use to take in farm animals that people no longer wanted. They would move to the country thinking that now they can have that horse, goat, chickens etc, yet after awhile they get sick of feeding them or listening to their noises, or cleaning after them, and they would always want out. I guy at the local TSC would direct them to my wife. I would get first dibs on goats or chickens, on account of the girl finding homes for them was married to me. I would honor the "Do Not Eat Them" request, as long as eggs milk or breeding were not offlimits, if so, they went to another home(That never was the case. I have never seen anyone adversed to me milking their former goat or keeping eggs.) Most of my goats came from a line that valued at about $50-$100. One day a lady called my wife with a Lamancha pure bred. This billy goat had to be worth a goat fortune, we are talking about a high dollar show goat. The contact at Tractor Supply, also felt that this goat could have gone for almost a thousand dollars. The woman who had the goat had not fed the goat in quite some time. We tried everything, but the following afternoon the billy goat died on my kitchen floor. What kills me isn't that people are not nice to their animals. I could careless if they eat them, but, if she didn't want to feed this goat, the line of those willing, including myself, of those who would be thrilled to have such a cool animal is huge. The idea that she would starve an animal that is worth more than half my herd, at the time, when she could have sold him to someone who would feed it, and netted herself a handsome profit will never be clear with me.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
