“Excuse me while I whip this out!”<\/p>\n
I came into the house to eat. \u00a0Turned on the tube and one of the Hobbit movies were airing\u2026.again. \u00a0I love those movies. \u00a0The books were bad ass as well. \u00a0My question as I watched the battle parts\u2026again\u2026.If the Dwarves & Elves are so wicked in battle, how come they are always outnumbered?<\/p>\n
We hauled several hundred bales of very clean, bright wheat straw this weekend. \u00a0This evening, we picked up a load of small square alfalfa bales. \u00a02nd cutting on a first year stand of alfalfa. \u00a0Big leaves and thin stems. \u00a0We loaded more than I planned nor had proper room. \u00a0It will work out. \u00a0Anytime you can get good hay, get it. \u00a0That reminds me of something else.<\/p>\n
It is scary as to how many forms of communication a person can use. \u00a0I don’t use snap chat or instagram. \u00a0I only half ass use book face. \u00a0I sometimes check messenger. \u00a0Occasionally, I use a blog. \u00a0I check emails on a quasi regular basis. \u00a0Texts\u2026.eenhh?! \u00a0I’m either really good at replying or it is a time-delay kind of deal.<\/p>\n
No matter. \u00a0I have friends that correspond on a real regular basis. \u00a0Texts–Jeff Spake is the king. \u00a0Group texts–Ronnie Swigart and Jake Kelln are more prolific than an orgy of in-heat rabbits. \u00a0Messenger–Troy Gosney is king. \u00a0He sends a lot. \u00a0And I look at all of it. \u00a0I just don’t reply to much of it. Today, he sent a news article that concerns today’s headlines. \u00a0Google it. \u00a0“Cancel twitter tweaking with sports stars” by Jason Whitlock. \u00a0This is an excellent read. The dude is spot on.<\/p>\n
Goz\u00a0also sent a video link of a medical doctor talking on a news channel. \u00a0This Dr. is espousing how good the cortico-steroid which is called Dexamethasone is at treating the Rona. \u00a0This drug has been around since 1957. \u00a0Every\u00a0stock show person needs to watch this. \u00a0He is right. \u00a0He is so right that all of us are like, “No shit!” \u00a0 Yeah, Dex helps with cleaning out lungs and improving blood flow. \u00a0It also induces labor, strengthens lungs on newborns, pops tops, tightens hides, removes swelling from hocks and increases appetite. \u00a0If Dex is this good, how bout hitting these Rona patients with some Depomedral? \u00a0Not the compounded stuff, just the regular Pfizer over-the counter stuff. \u00a0Well, okay, maybe use the off-label stuff and get this over with quicker.<\/p>\n
The Goz responded with this quote. \u00a0 “Stock show folks all over the nation are going “Hold my beer! \u00a0We’re going show’n!”<\/p>\n
People, the dude is right on the money. \u00a0Not because stock showers are looking for ways to cheat. \u00a0Stock showers look for every thing that keeps an animal healthy and on point. \u00a0I use it on does, cows, sows, ewes, lambs, piglets, calves, kids and I very rarely use Dex or Depo on wethers. \u00a0However, if needed, I know where to look up the dosages. \u00a0Neither drug provides performance enhancing boosts. \u00a0 But, on the right animal, every little bit helps. \u00a0Dex gets used on people. \u00a0Catch some poison oak. \u00a0They will give you a shot of dex in order to reduce swelling. \u00a0Just one example.<\/p>\n
Outside of dealing with cancer, heart and brain diseases, I can argue that stock show and horse people understand livestock medicine as well as most, maybe more than others. \u00a0It isn’t cheating if you are keeping a being at optimal health, stay within withdrawal times and show rules.<\/p>\n
And for goats, there are very few drugs\/wormers\/ parasiticides that are even labeled for usage on goats. \u00a0Most of what I use on a regular basis is “Off-label” when it comes to goats. \u00a0But, I’ve had to learn what works and what doesn’t. \u00a0There were NO vets in this part of the world that had any goat knowledge when we started down this path. \u00a0Now, there aren’t many that have dealt with many goats. \u00a0I had to learn. \u00a0And yes, at times, there has been a “Cure ’em or kill ’em” mentality. \u00a0And more often than not, we cured ’em. \u00a0My success rate at taking a goat to the vet—we don’t want to publish that. \u00a0My success rate is WAY better. \u00a0It’s not that I am smarter or better. \u00a0But I see these beasts on a daily basis and have spent time researching and talking to others that have dealt with similar issues. \u00a0And my research has shown that goat breeders know MORE than vets.<\/p>\n
I know of numerous vets that call Jodi Seelke for goat health and reproductive advice. \u00a0Tammy & I use Jodi as a resource. \u00a0She researches everything that comes her way. \u00a0And she is always on point.<\/p>\n
I’ve had texts from three different states regarding the Blazing Saddles “retarded” post. \u00a0Despite all current advertised polling, we are all in agreeance. \u00a0(is that last word an actual term) \u00a0There are only two types of people-good and bad. \u00a0There is only one race–the human race. \u00a0Yes, Slim Pickens was great!<\/p>\n
And his best line–“Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes!”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And to complete the retardation, there is this random thought that is not completely my original thought nor anothers. \u00a0Just stupid, yet thought provoking. \u00a0Mel Brooks covered about every racial, sexual, religious and every other socio-economic slur that was present at the time of the making of that movie. \u00a0But, he couldn’t see into the future. \u00a0If so, Mongo would have said, “Mongo not gay, transgender, questioning, identifying as woman, or bisexual. \u00a0Mongo don’t know. \u00a0Mongo only pawn in game of life.”<\/p>\n
Then, that would have made that movie the most insensitive movie of all-time. \u00a0And even though they made fun of Catholics, whites, Germans and they didn’t want the Irish\u2026at no time was I offended.<\/p>\n
Get out and work. \u00a0Do something. \u00a0Help somebody. \u00a0Be a neighbor. \u00a0Teach something. \u00a0Thank someone. \u00a0Eat something new. \u00a0Go outside. \u00a0Work in your yard\/garden. \u00a0Do good by others. \u00a0Don’t always worry about what it costs. \u00a0Just go do something GOOD!<\/p>\n
