John in LA, coming from generations of farmers and ranchers, I will respond seriously to your question. If I had a two teat cow that could throw good calves, two teats are enough to feed a calf. If the cow had some sort of genetic problem that would be passed on to the herd if she's bred, then obviously culling is your only choice since you don't want that trait to be carried on. You don't want to weaken your herd if there is a genetic component that ultimately will destroy your herd. If an animal is suffering, like the horse with the broken leg and we know a horse can't live with only three legs then unfortunately the horse should be destroyed. No one who tries to make their living on a farm can keep animals if they are not able to do their job which is to raise healthy calves because losing cattle costs money. As far as the chickens, they lay eggs according to seasonal variables so sometimes production goes low, then rebounds. Are you feeding them right, do they have lice/worm overload that can be treated or is it your whole flock? The point is that sometimes the reality of farming is not pretty, since you can't afford to feed non-producing animals. What is the problem with what Jon did? He killed a dog that was healthy when he had other options. If you are a farmer and enjoy or brag about killing, "Abe formally the worlds best dog" then there is a problem with that farmer. And I don't think that losing a dog is the same as losing a child as some people think because they don't really know the hard work that it takes to raise those pretty packages of meat.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Your Tractor - by Staff. Maybe you bought it from a friend who didn't know what kind of tractor it was, or perhaps (and this is every tractor fanatics dream) you stumbled across it in an abandoned field covered with weeds but intact. In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs! But pretty soon you'll probably need to tinker with it a bit and maybe buy a part or too. Having a manual is nice. But how does one go about dete ... [Read Article]
