"Probably"not true.

Seeing as so many here deal with animals;anything weird to report?

Good article even if it has nothing to do with commodity marketing.

Animals are unpredictable no matter how long we try to domesticate them.

I have seen cows try to kill their newborn calves (and no they weren't trying to get them up and going) which seems like an inborn trait.

Cows have pretty good memories of good and bad treatment by humans, as do many other animals.

I have had cows who rubbed my back with their polls while others would have bunted me into the next life.

Dogs, it would seem are not too far from their wild roots as one would imagine (or desire) either, despite thousands of years of domestication.

Interesting.

I will add,... a noticeable lack of bees this summer.

As well a lack of butterflies, non exsistant in june/july. Moths and other flying insects are everywhere now.

You're frisky today, so you must be confused with flying harpies. lol

I've noted a noticable lack of bees in comparison to other years/TOM4CWB's bonnet.
