I played with common garter snakes when I was a little kid, then turned them loose. I really like real snakes. Human snakes, not so much - LOL.

Deer fawns and beef calves born with contracted tendons that were given one tablet of Calc. Phos. 6X homeopathic cell salt at least three times a day, morning, early afternoon and night, had normal straight legs in less than three days. Cell salts can usually be found at health food stores. The...

I found my goats to be very intelligent, unlike a lot of humans I have met - LOL.

Travir, I assume that you check all of your calves for underbite, by lifting their lips and checking whether the lower incisors contact the dental pad? Underbite is difficult to see without doing that.

They have goat yoga, where people lie down and let small goats walk on them. And you now have a leaf composter - LOL. Goats love leaves.

Goat's milk is great to use for almost any newborn mammal, including calves. You could milk her for a while and freeze some to use on newborn calves that need to be bottle fed for a short time. Other people might buy the milk from you. Are there any wildlife rehabilitation centers nearby? They...

That is odd. Last year and the year before, the resident white-tailed deer does at our place here in Montana had mostly female fawns, 1 male and 8 females. I have no idea whether the beef calves in our area have a normal ratio of males to females. I haven't heard anything. You are in Ohio, so a...

Yeah, they are called estrogenic toxins.

Thank you for the info.

From what I have been able to fine after hearing about Milestone and Grazon (Aminopyralid) a couple of years ago, they have not been found to be teratogenic or cancer causing. Some sensitive individuals in the studies of various animals did have a reaction to the deliberate exposure by...

Actually, we considered many things, including genetics, plant toxins, human made chemicals, etc. All the medical books and people consulted ruled out plant toxins, because animals that were not grazing animals were affected. They ruled out genetics, because so many vertebrates of several groups...

Only if you want many bird species to decline even faster than they are now. DDT made the egg shells soft so they broke resulting in no young. It almost killed me when I was 8 years old and my mother sprayed it inside of our house. No thank you on using DDT! That is funny, Simme. Obviously, you...

It can be bad if it is affecting lots of animals, although decreasing the fertility of humans would be good.

Research scientists and medical books say that if a LARGE NUMBER of mammals species suddenly are born and even greater numbers of birds are hatched with the exact same birth defect at the same time, it has to be environmental, not genetic. Also, a large number of children were born with an...

If there are lots of Barn Swallows, that is usually seen as a good thing because of all the mosquitoes they eat.
