My sister recently brought me a pair of "brown Chinese" goslings from the feed store, problem is that I know they sell Africans as well and they have them more often than BC. I'm thinking my "female" might be an African instead of a BC because she's a little stockier and had solid colored feet...

A neighbor has a very old Cow that went down again(happened last year too). He mentioned yesterday that he was going to have to put her down. I am planning on asking him if I might take her to butcher for dog food. If he says yes I am hoping he might want to bring her down in his tractor bucket...
