In the dawn of day

Moving cows to new paddock today.

WOW THAT COW.

For the most part people know that beef comes from cattle. But very few actually understand all of the ways that cattle improve our lives.

Here is a great link to the University of Nebraska website with Fun Facts about all of the ways cattle make life easier.

Just the facts

Here are just a couple examples

There is a sticky part on the bandages that can be made from animal fatty acids since fatty
acids are used to make adhesives.

Household and office products also may contain beef byproducts. Dog food might include
chicken, beef or pork byproducts. Rawhide bones that dogs chew on are made from animal
hides.

Laundry pre-treatments contains enzymes – a protein found in cattle and sheep.
There is a certain kind of china that knick knacks may be made out of that can be made
from an animal byproduct – bone china. Bone china is made from the bones.

There may be fatty acids from cattle or other animals added to toilet paper to make it soft.

What’s on the label of the glue bottle? There is a cow on the label of glue because you
can use a cow’s hooves and horns to make glue.

Dish soap may contain beef fat that helps make your hands soft.

Auburn Beef Cattle Conference

I am compiling pictures of rodeo clowns wearing mask at any rodeo in the history of this country. Please email you photos to trentloos@gmail.com

Here is the start

George Bush Ironically Missouri State Fair 2011

Complete

Fixing fence never ending task on the ranch. Three unexpected hours spent but task complete.

Mending Fences

So I find five of my neighbors horses in my pasture and this spot in the fence.

Lindsi Loos Cowgirl like no other

I have spent 5 years working livestock with Libbi Loos and always marvel at how talented she is horseback. Now her 10 year old sister Lindsi is quickly catching up. Here we trail the remuda to another pasture and she leading them as though there is nothing to it.

Hamp sow breed

Not to be confused with modern style Hampshire hogs I just bred this pig raising machine to Marius II that I sold to SGI in 1992. Hope fertilization is in the cards with pigs coming in Nov.
