Then what do you do with them...?

Our electric co-op issues a periodical called "Rural Missouri." This latest issue had an article on "Shed Hunting."

This intrigued me.

People actually collect sheds. Go looking for them, take them home. It's perfectly legal, you just have to stay off of private property.

Shed hunting.



SHED hunting?




For reals? Surely not!

How do you hunt a shed? How do you claim them? Do you repo them from their owners? How do you get them home? Where do you keep your shed collection?

And hey! Get this: They train dogs to sniff them out! hahahaha...

Seriously?

No kidding!

Would you pay up to $6,500 for a fully trained shed hunting dog?

I obviously am in the wrong business. I need to start training dogs to hunt sheds.

Oh.

By the way...

Here is a shed:




Shed antlers. This makes a little more sense. But my original question remains...what do they DO with them?

What?! How could I store all my camping gear and 2 bicycles I don't ride in THAT?

Just kidding.

They use them to nail them on their other kind of shed. What do I win?

The Oyster

It isn't even halfway through the month yet and I have run out of lists or anything amusing to tell you about the dairy. So here is a poem I picked up on a homesteading forum. It does deal with ag issues, just of a different sort... Enjoy! The Oyster Baxter Black The sign upon the café wall said OYSTERS: fifty cents. "How quaint," the blue-eyed sweetheart said with some bewildermence, "I didn't know they served such fare out here upon the plain." "Oh, sure," her cowboy date replied, "We're really quite urbane." "I would guess they're Chesapeake or Blue Point, don't you think?" "No ma'am, they're mostly Hereford cross . . . and usually they're pink But I've been cold, so cold myself, what you say could be true And if a man looked close enough, their points could sure be blue!" She said, "I gather them myself out on the bay alone. I pluck them from the murky depths and smash them with a...

Like Cats A'Fightin'

Image
That's a local saying when it's snowing hard. Snowing like cats a'fightin'. You can look out and see the fur flying. Ellen had never been outside while it was actually snowing. She was enchanted. She had to have a bucket of it to carry around. It was in the mid-20s but we took a bit of a walk before coming back in for a nap. The snow is still too dry to be able to make a snowman, it is really powdery. So far we have somewhere between 3 and 4 inches, I would suspect.

The Blind Calf Story

Image
This happened last month. I thought it was an interesting case. Wed Aug 15th 2007 8:30 AM: Went out and brought new heifer calf and cow in from field. Not too sure how old calf was; umbilical cord sort of dried up, but calf still seemed damp. Left her with cow all morning ‘til maybe early afternoon, then separated them. Beautiful, normal calf. 6 PM Fed calf bottle. She slugged back the whole thing. Thurs Aug 16th5:15 AM (approx) Calf comatose. Or as near as I could tell. She was on her side, non-responsive, drooling, head on ground, eyes closed or just barely opened. I tried to feed her bottle but she only swallowed convulsively once or twice, then milk just drained from her mouth. 5:30 AM. Husband went out and looked at her. Drug her out of pen and out of the way to be taken to boneyard later after chores were all done. She was barely breathing and as I said, totally non-responsive.This was a real grief as the cow she came from is a great milker and to get a heifer from her was a joy....
