I just so happened to be one of the lucky few to actually get a puppy on my third birthday, an eight week old blue merle Australian Cattle Dog who was extremely sweet and very oversized for his breed. When my parents and I got home from picking up my puppy, they asked me what should have been a fairly simple question,…

Andrew St. Martin finished his jog by sprinting down the slip at Gibson Bight Marina. His breathing was measured, and the salt breeze cooled him as it swept over his sweaty skin. Mathieu was waiting for him at the transom of Reel Hope, his thirty-six foot sport fisher. Pancho, the Australian Cattle Dog that served as ship mascot, was leaping around on the main deck, excitement resounding in his bark. “Welcome back, my friend.” Mathieu’s easy smile beamed down. Andrew grabbed the rail and leapt…

Calving Around the World Have you ever wondered why some farms calve in the spring while others calve in the fall? Or why some farms calve all year long? If you happen to ask one of those farmers why, you might have received an answer along the lines of “We’ve always done it this way around here” or something equally as vague. The calving system employed varies greatly between countries and regions based on the climate as well as the milk pricing system, but can also vary within smaller areas…

maximum of 5 weeks. Calving is aimed to be finished by the 1st of December, though during the time of placement, there were still two heifers remaining which had yet to calve. The farm carried 1000 more ewes than the neighbouring farm. This was to maximise usage of the pasture available. Lamb sales were nearing 3300 this year and weighed an average of 16.5 kg per lamb. This is on the smaller side of prime lamb sales in the North Island (which average at approximately 17.5 kg per lamb) but they…

Holy Cow—Urbanization of a Rural Icon For long generations mankind has worked with cows, trying to improve the effectiveness of milk and meat strategies for the betterment of urban populations (VanMeter B1). Many skilled cows have lent their techniques and mindful data to the research, careful to guide the discussion in favor of bovine efficiency without losing effectiveness (Marzano 40). According to Marzano, many characteristics of rural cows do, in fact, relate directly to urban cows…

potential of a molecule of carbon dioxide” (EPA 30). This methane then stays in the atmosphere for 12 years before it finally has a reaction with the hydroxyl (OH) free radical. Then when it finally breaks down, what methane breaks down into is actually carbon dioxide, thereby creating even more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. (EPA 29) Methane being produced in high quantities is even worse though because of the way it breaks down with hydroxyl, the more methane there is; the less hydroxyl…

In the study “Economic impact of paratuberculosis in dairy cattle herds: a review” by L. Hasonova, and I. Pavlik they explore the different health parameters that change due to…
