FARMING & COUNTRY LIFE / Re: Betty had a baby calf, vid...

Thanks for sharing. I have gotten foals on video, but the last cow we had gave us a surprise baby and we missed the birth. She was an auction cow and kind of skinny so we missed that she was pregnant. Healthy baby though.

Yours looks really healthy!

Here is a much better video. It is from the start of the delivery to where the calf stands up.

I?m glad that it wasn?t an adult calf. 

When I was a yute, I watched a calf being born on my grandfather?s farm and he was mad at me for not getting him.

A few years ago the Pennsylvania Farm Show put in the calving corner. There are a lot of cows give birth during the week and so many people are able to watch the whole process that may otherwise never have the chance.

I had a home made sawmill and there were times when the bees would be thick on the logs as well as the sawdust pile.

GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Pecan sap

Last post by Bob Wilson - January 17, 2025, 04:57:00 PM

I am cutting down an old, unproductive pecan tree and went to lunch.
Now that I am back, I am having to work around busy workers on the ends of all cut logs. There is a pond across the road, so I am assuming they are after the pecan sap for propolis. It's barely 57 degrees out here.

I thought about it, though, and every Australian in the movie is evil.  The only good people were Germans who were living in Australia, and two Americans.  And of course the Aborigines.

I don't know, I feel like a lot of the Australians who worked at the ranch were just doing their jobs, and they bailed on their villainous boss when Quigley warned them that things were about to get dangerous, so I don't see them as evil.

It probably automatically triggered YouTube's graphic filter.  As Terri said, Rumble would likely allow it.

>My sister and I watched Quigley Down Under on Sunday

When I was in Australia, I asked around if anyone had seen Quigley Down Under.  No one had.  I thought about it, though, and every Australian in the movie is evil.  The only good people were Germans who were living in Australia, and two Americans.  And of course the Aborigines.
