ICYMI: Here is the end of my livestream with James Corbett when I asked him about the costs and benefits of seeking knowledge that challenges acceptable narratives.
I had to get a blood sample from our (hopefully pregnant) dairy cow, Maisy, to the post office, but wanted to hit the gym on the way. So, the blood came in a cooler (which I won in a feed store raffle) and hung out in my passenger seat. I think you hit the pro farmer world when you can say you’ve driven around with animal blood in your car while running errands. All in a day’s work!
WARNING: You will see a sheep rectum in this video.
I am dealing with my first rectal prolapse in our ewe, Maple. She is such a sweet girl but I’ll tell you, it’s been quite the learning experience and challenge for my gag reflex. The consensus among farmer friends has been to pack the prolapsed section with sugar and push it back in. This may seem easy enough but I’ve found it to be quite difficult for a newbie like myself. I’ve see this is more common in feedlot lambs but Maple is on grass with a tiny bit of hay and has no other issues, so the cause is a mystery. Vets can suture the rectal opening so that there is just room for Maple to poop, but this can be a costly procedure. There are also “rectal rings” available which essentially do the same thing as the sutures. Has anyone else dealt with this?
The kids are practicing for their first rodeo. The event requires them to catch a goat and snatch a ribbon off its tail, then put the ribbon in a bucket and raise their hands to stop the clock. Fastest kid wins. Don’t ask me how they came up with this stuff. Today goat ribbons, tomorrow bucking broncs.

And in even better news:
HHS has also said it will end the practice of providing bonuses to doctors who vaccinate high percentages of their patients, and other financial incentives provided to doctors for vaccinations.
I am no fan of racist. However, it's an interesting bit of hypocrisy, that some people feel it's cool to take down sites of people they differ with. But, if those they differ with did the same to them. That would be a "hate crime". 🤔
