Or it’s the base for everything I feed my milk cows.

But, yeah, under the right conditions, cows can absolutely gorge and bloat on it.

FWIW, I’ve never watched the show, but have a lot of friends who ranch and love it.

I enjoy the show. It’s probably the only one CE doesn’t

On Riggs and Higley for more developers (would be nice if they put a bar on my corner). Did you buy any ? All my neighbors Myself included are sad to see it go.

We did end up with some of their heifers.

The owner of that herd was a fruitcake, as most raw milk dairyfarmers are, and I have some concerns about the health of the heifers I bought because they’ve never been vaccinated. We’ll see how that goes.

We knew the original builders of that dairy well, as they were part of our co-op, but when they left, it fell into some strange ownership changes. I suppose it’s sad to see it go, but it’s closing the same time as my and my neighbors dairies in Mesa. Once the farmland goes, it’s hard to keep an isolated dairy farm going.
