The cows WILL tell you if you're late. They get in a milking schedule, and it's very painful for them if it gets delayed much. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Then I suggest that the farmer continue getting up at 5:00 AM standard time. If no one tells the cows that DST is being observed, I think he can pull it off. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

That's because the Alaskan immigrants didn't do their homework. They didn't pick up on the fact that the Inuit only spend the summers in the Arctic and winter in Florida. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

By far a goat's best feature is its mastery of landscaping. You have a lot that's just briar patches and bramble bushes? Fence it off and toss in some goats. Half a dozen will reduce an acre of impenetrable rabbit territory into trees and a proper yard in 2 days. Sure is cheaper than a Huskvarna plus a man to run it. And if you've had something better than their milkshakes, you're a liar. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Goats are great. Especially mini-goats. They're very funny and smarter than I thought. And, yeah, very good at the lawn care thing. My niece raised from 4 to 10 in her high school years. Really enjoyed them, especially the kids. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Yeah, all these brush clearing and lawn care services around here just need to lease out some goats along with a llama to protect and herd them, instead they drive around with humungous trailers and start each day buying a fortune in gasoline for all those mowers and bushwackers. Trouble is goats won't eat ants or termites. |
