They eat plant matter, not only feed prepared for them, but natural grass, and “waste” corn stalks after the corn has been harvested, among other food.

The Fair…and some Dismay

So far, this has been an upsetting year all around. So the brief interlude at the Puyallup Fair was a welcome getaway from the the ugliness around us. We went on a weekday (last Friday), so the crowds were light, parking was plentiful, and the exhibits we wanted to see were open. First stop: 4H …

Saga of Poison Food-Government Against People?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any uglier in the Western World, we hear of a big story originating at first in England, and now elsewhere. The Environmental Wacko NGOs, led unofficially by wanna-be-World Dictator Bill Gates, decided against all scientific evidence that a major cause of (boogeyman) Climate Change is farting cows. Yes, …

A Day at the Fair

Starting this past weekend, is the Washington State Fair in the Pierce County town of Puyallup (pronounced pew-allup).  We drove there from our house in Everett, which is a long drive, but it was a nice day on Sunday.  Lots of homeowners there allow their front yards to be used for parking, and local civic …
