The Glade 4.0

What I find most frightening about her is that she thinks cancer is a fungus and you can deal with it using baking soda.. and we thought anti-vaccers were bad.

I'm sure if actual rights had been violated, and actual freedoms had been repressed, etc... that there would have been more patriots.

They chose the wrong hill to die on.

Evidently the shitlord that started the original controversy doesn't even control his cattle properly.



How does he even know how many cows are his, or which ones?



All this guy wants to do is freeload and let his cows run loose and pretend to be a "rancher" without investing any actual work.

According to the federal government.

When I see someone describe livestock as "wild, mean, and ornery", I get pretty skeptical of their position. Who gives a crap? If they are healthy and tasty, that's all a rancher will care about. Ranchers don't go around "taming" their herds. They'll focus on a few key individual herd leaders to help control the herd overall. There's no need, for example, to tame young bulls at all since they'll be eaten.

Branding only matters if there's another rancher's cattle in the area and there's a question of herd merging. Vaccination / disease treatment is simply an economic matter - if the herd gets sick you lose money. There is no need to do this.

The control of breeding and management of the herd's activities is important, however, if this impacts the land, other species, or other property owners.

No, DE has it pretty right. He lets his cows do whatever. There's even a case where one wandered onto I-15 and got hit... and Bundy sued the people that hit it.

He's a class-a *******.

Kindly fill us in on standard ranching practices then, and why the government's position is unreasonable. I'm pretty skeptical of your personal suspicion of the government, or your skepticism based on terminology.

14 more arrests in conjunction with the standoff from a couple of years ago. More to come.

And LOTS of Federal charges for these dumb ****.

What the hell? I spent a decent amount of time typing up a response and it's not here. Argh.

In short it went along the lines of this:

I've spent a lot of time around all kinds of ranchers. Casual ranchers like us, to people with a herd of "pets" to people with massive operations. Because of the vast differences, "standard practices" does not apply. Provided your livestock is not being abused / neglected or is damaging someone else's property (reference to Mus's statement above), then it's no one else's business what you do with your property.

Often, if you hit the "back" button it's still there and you can get it back.



The assertion is that the cattle are wandering loose on Federal land and damaging property, so that would indeed make it someone else's business. Bundy is not being charged with animal neglect or cruelty to my knowledge.

Virginia Tech - which both of us attended - had an extensive agricultural program, which included a program on cattle raising. I remember it well because of the frequency of running past the cows at 0600 for PT on that road that led out to the barns past the duck pond. You may or may not have been there when they put in the obstacle course next to it. You go down that road, turn right and down a short hill, then turn left again, and the cows were in a field on the right. If you went to the end of that road and turned left, it would take you up to the barns IIRC.

I find it difficult to imagine that if agriculture has accredited academic degrees in raising livestock that there are no generally accepted or standard practices. What are they teaching if that is the case?

There's pictures floating around of malnourished and dehydrated Bundy Cows. He *should* be up for neglect.

If you recall my issue was with the cattle being described as "mean and ornery", like that's some sort of legitimate complaint. Destruction of property is; I just don't see what the cow's temperament has to do with anything.



Well, I talked about that in my poofed response. As I mentioned, there's all kinds of ranchers. There are ranches that hold or work with people holding some sort of animal husbandry / agricultural science degree, because they are serious about their operation and want to maximize efficiency, or whatever else they are concerned about. There is a lot of money in ranching, and a lot of science can go into it. As a result, there's lots of groups pushing their sets of standards, and there's organizations that coordinate all that. But, none of this is required (or even appropriate for smaller operations). It's basically the same as farming - there's huge investments in research on how best to grow corn, but any jackass can plant corn on his property. It's not even close to a uniform industry.
