Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 The book " Edenbank Accounts " is about the creation of the Edenbank dairyfarm in Chilliwack British Columbia which had one of the world's prize Ayreshire herds in the 1930s / 40s and 50s. It relates an anecdote about the day the whole herd was dehorned at once. Some animals lost as much as 150 pounds from the shock. That decision was made NOT because it had anything to do with better conditions for the animals, but because one of the family had had a very close call with the herdsire. I won't go out as far into woo-woo-land, as the biodynamic " scientists " do with their 'prep' thingys, but I won't be dehorning my livestock, either. Read the farming practices God decreed for the ancient Israelites in the Bible. They're as valid here today in the New JerUSAlem as they were then in the old. Particularly offensive is castration. Sure, the entire North American meat business is predicated on such " herd management techniques " but that doesn't make it right. We are what we eat = quit feeding your children the flesh of eunuchs, unless that's what you want them to be when they grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
