Most farmers do I think. Sddad does usually. I don't think they actually do any harm to anything no so I would just look at them.

My farmer buddies would go into a blind rage at the mere sight of a coyote

My parents moved out of Manhattan not to farm, but just so they wouldn't have to live too close to other people. Their neighbors have a bunch of sheep. The sheep belong to the woman who lives there and is some hippie horticulture professor or something. Her husband shoots coyotes, which definitely kill the sheep. He is an academic reseacher of some plant related stuff, too. And he's Iraqui. So, my dad's take on the whole sheep situation is, "Yeah, see, in the part of the world where he's from they've been doing this stuff a LONG, LONG time."

Well Chum, you have to admit that's a pretty good real world take.

Had one at my grandparents farm!  :runaway: Well at least that's what they told me. Had pictures and everything, young calf, dead, no blood in it, no exterior wounds.

Or something like that.

Did you have a rural route (RR) number?  How many rotted out cars/trucks/tractors/etc were located throughout the property?  How many cats did you own?  Did you have a Schwann delivery truck, if so, what was your favorite item?

Yes.

Probably over 100. A lot of them just came with land we acquired. Sometimes my dad will have this guy come haul them off in exchange for the guy getting to sell them for scrap or keep them or whatever.

The cats just kind of show up from time to time. They are allowed to stay but never come inside. Also they have to eat whatever the co-op brand dogfood is. When I was growing up the cat population would vary from like 2 to 20. Owls and Hawks eat a lot of the cats.

Yes. Raspberry pushup.

tell us a calving story, plz.

one time a cow couldn't push out the baby and just its front or back feet were sticking out and my dad hooked a chain to the feet and hooked it up to his truck and pulled on it trying to be kind of gentle but it ripped the legs off the baby cow and he then had to shoot the mother cow.

How the hell did I miss this story? It may be the worst thing I've ever heard.

^^^

if I had to guess, strap a log chain around her back leg and drag her out to some wooded area or a ditch or something with the tractor.

imagine if you were that coyote and you came up on this big ass heifer (pro term) just chilling there. id go tell all my buds i killed it and drug it into a ditch myself and become king of the coyotes.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.
