Re: Downsizer Virtual Show - Livestock
Can I have a clarification of the rules please? Does a breeding sow qualify as being kept for food? And is a laying hen kept for food? |

She doesn't look too happy about it, arranged marriage? | ||||
| Tavascarow |
Fraid so. But being a Cornish lass she should be lucky it's not her brother (Sorry fellow bretheren).
One of bracken one of my nubian boys. He doesn't fit here realy as I don't intend to eat him I certainly can't breed from him, but he does play his part by composting large quantities of brambles etc.  [img][/img]

You have Anglo Nubians!!!Oh I am so so jealous. Gorgeous goats!
Think I know you from another forum don't I?
|

| Tavascarow |
Damn I've been tracked down. Cant hide anywhere these days. Those ACL women are after me again (I should be so lucky)How's it going over in Lincs. Beautiful day here in Cornwall.
One of my quail which definately fit in this category.  [/img]

| Naomi |
It's that beard of yours Steve (false or other wise)!!!Sends us women wild!!
It is dry here in Lincs today but not as sunny as yesterday. Have done some much needed weeding this morning! |
||||
| Penny |
One of your quail - it's got two heads!!
|
||||
| Tavascarow |
I thought the plural for quail was quail. I'm very fond of quails tonque & drumsticks. If you look closely you can see it's got 4 legs as well. Heehee

Can I join in? All I have is chickens. My three children sometimes feel like livestock (I spend all my time and money feeding them and mucking them out and occasionally finding them when they escape) but they're not kept for food so they probably don't count. | ||||
| Penny |
Love the curtains

The henhouse used to be my daughter's wendy house, so it still has checky red curtains and leaded windows. There's a pic of the henhouse here http://bean-sprouts.blogspot.com/2006/07/swanky-henhouse.html

I might as well give it a go too ...
Here they are: The Silkies are the broody army for the roasting birds: 
The ewe will be the mum of the future roast legs of lamb: 
The Billy make a big contribution to the compost heap: 
The hens are for eggs: 
Rooster for next generation of table birds: 
Geese for eggs and hopefully Christmas goose: 
Rabbits for slippers :

Livestock competition entry from Moonwind
Champion Allanton Washington was the best Ram we ever owned, over the bridge now, but a real character when on this earth. Willy Wonka as he was known enjoyed going up the pub on his headcollar with my OH which used to be the talk of the Village as you can imagine
Our really scared, wild and dreadfully cruelly looked after lambs haha .. Everything is mad here including Moonwind. It's a survival technique nearing perfection.
