As far as I know, it's illegal here but legal in the US and other countries. But I'm no cow expert...I could be wrong.

I wasn't looking for for a reference. I just thought you might know something about milk/dairies that I should know. I have always been under the impression that dairy cows are treated humanely. If someone has info stating the opposite I'd like to know.

I love when cows run.  I think it's fun to watch.

This is not at all relevant to the thread.

I love baby cows. I love baby anything though. I really REALLY want a farm so I can have a baby goat.

When I go to NC next month, I'll take some pictures for you. My dad has two pygmy goats that he adopted, and he named them Jesse and James. :) They're stinking adorable.

A BABY GOAT!!!!
theyre just so darling.

I will never ever ever eat goat after finding out goats will play with you and can be like a pet.

My UO: I don't think anyone under the age of 16 or so needs a cell phone.  When teenagers start driving and/or working, I think they should have one for emergencies.  But before that? Nope.  And when they DO get one, I think it should just be a basic phone to make/receive calls and maybe texts with.  IPhones/Droids are entirely unnecessary at that age and when I see 12 year olds with one, I want to scream.

I don't know if this is actually unpopular around here or not, but based on the number of young kids I see with phones it seems pretty popular to the general public. 

Nebb

september's bride

This is not one of my dad's goats, but if I didn't know that I didn't take this picture, I would swear that it's one of them. James

 plays fetch with you, and will sit in your lap and eat apples. After he finishes eating, he snuggles and wants to lick your face. I wish I could bring him to my house..

J&K10910

My BFF's little goats will walk to the mailbox with them and follow them around and lay in their laps too.  Her little nieces are completely enamored.  She has a picture of the youngest one's (16 months, I think) face after a goat ate out her hand and then licked it.  It's the funniest look of surprise and delight I think I've ever seen on a face before.

I agree with you. I don't have any children yet but I am scared of what kind of technology they will want by the time they are 16.

My first pet was a baby goat.  When I was younger I 'helped' in the tobacco fields for something like 50 cents an hour, lol.
Which basically meant I carried around a hoe and stayed out of trouble.
 I saved up some money and bid on a goat that I thought was pretty at a livestock auction.  It stayed on my grandparent's farm and I would visit it. 
She had kids and I got to sell them at auction. 

:-P The joys of growing up on a farm.

Oh my God, I had no idea that I wanted a baby goat.  This is a revelation.

Added to my list of animals I want:
Red Panda
Hedgehog
Fennec Fox
Slow Loris
Baby Goat

Scott had a goat in Uganda named Amacha and I was so jealous!  She was a pretty goat too.

Wrkn925

LP, I was going to say that earlier, but I don't think it is unpopular to think that way.


My sister is 12, and has had a phone since she was like 7.  Granted, the first one was a pre-paid to call our Dad on, but now, she has way more expensive and advanced phones than I do.  And she changes atleast once a year.
She's been through two digital cameras, a DS and on a DSi now.

I'm against introducing so much technology at a young age, period.

I am not allowing H to see this thread. For some reason he is obsessed with getting a goat.... especially after the news story last night about buying goats to 'mow' your lawn. ha

</div><div>I can't stand it when kids (or adults, really) are constantly on their phones.  I think that it decreases the amount of actual interaction that they have with other people, encourages the use of text speak and not paying attention in school.  And it general, it just annoys me.</div>

LP, when I was a substitute teacher a couple of years ago, the phones were getting out of hand.  It was SOO annoying.  Kids sharing ringtones and pulling out their phones constantly....UGH.

And my cousin's text speak on Facebook hurts my head and makes me doubt the future of our society.
