My cat Jack brought one of these into me at 2am...and let him go in the house! As I was running around the house trying to catch it, I was looking around and thinking "Am I on Candid Camera?"

Please don't eat my sister, I don't think she got rescued.

Einswine.. What a nice little piggie! Is he a smart one?

Here's a bobcat that was a resident for a few weeks.. Got a few good pictures of him

Grouse rooster quite proud of himself

And here's my pets.. Some sisters

And some brothers

One of a pair of twins

And a wheelbarrow ride for a calf

 

[Rx7man]

And here are some more stupid cows (not mine)


Here's one of my calves playing

 

[einswine]

"What a nice little piggie! Is he a smart one?"

Smart as your average pig, which is pretty smart. He's not little any more, about 330 kilos and getting on in years. Before he became arthritic he would go on walks with us and often he would walk along a creek, stick his snout in the water and blow bubbles to his obvious delight. As you know cattle are not stupid. They are just differently smarted.

I notice a halter on one of your cute little caves. Do you train?

 

[Rx7man]

My friend had a runt piglet that rode with him in his truck everywhere he went.. and then became his breeding boar... He got to be HUGE... I think he was 900 lbs/400kg, but was getting arthritic too and got put down last fall.
I do try and train them to lead and stay put, but I don't have the time to teach them any tricks.. The calf with a halter there is Kama, she's going on 3 years old now and is certainly one of the 'brighter' ones... From a long line of pets, her grandmother was my first bovine pet. We got her in 1992.
Grandma Josie (also Mega's grandma.. more on her later)

Here's her mother Rosie at about 16

"Mega", a cousin, one of my best cows... I can do anything with her, I milk her, ride her, and lead her with my pinky finger.. but she doesn't like other people *at all*

Mega as a yearling

A sister

another sister Caddy... she'll be a great grandma this year, and the calf there would be the grandma now (time really flies)

I have to dig up a couple pictures of owls I have.. There's a long eared owl and a northern pygmy owl.. Only saw the Long eared owl once (and had a camera with me..wow).. the pygmy owl is a resident

Cows and bulls in your area look soooo beautiful and well-fed.

 

[Rx7man]

That comes before all else around here.. and pretty much everything I do revolves around putting grass on the table for them!.. I never did post up any bulls..

Here's Arnold, daddy to most of them, sunning himself on a crisp winter day

Hector, Mega's brother, he's living at my friends place a few hours away.. he turned out pretty good too.

And Marko, a calf I kept as a bull 2 years ago.. just as a 1 month old.. Seems to be proud of himself too.. He's still nice, and he's a big docile baby, but he's lost the 'cuteness' with age

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Nice pictures! Whichever edible to me is perfectly fine! (3 of them)

 

[einswine]

"Cows and bulls in your area look soooo beautiful and well-fed."
When you see animals in good condition you know those responsible for their well being care about them.

For a minority of cattle one can find strong re-enforces. I read of one steer that was crazy about Oreos and so was easily clicker trained. I've had less than impressive success my self.

 

[Rx7man]

I'm just happy if they follow me where I want them to go.. I grew some sunflowers for oilseeds, and the pressings are like cocaine for them once they get hooked on the flavor... I can lead them anywhere with a bucket, the only challenge is staying ahead of them.

Heres the Long Eared Owl

Nice photographs.
Here's a couple of shots of some more of ours.

Your minis would LOVE my hay.. I quite proudly make the best hay in the land, and for the most part feed it to my spoiled cows. What part of the world is that? Could be many places, but reminds me of Wooster Ohio area.. Just need to see some Amish buggies.

 

[Borg]

Nice photo and beautiful dog. I love German Shepards.

"What part of the world is that?"
Somewhat remote area of Mid Atlantic Appalachian Mountains.

"Your minis would LOVE my hay."
I'm sure. No one around here makes decent horse hay any more. They have to put up with forage cubes in the winter.

What the...? I caught my cat posting on PhysicsForums using my account while I was asleep! I knew it!

I want to ride one of them, or better all 3 .

I'd be more worried about your missing mouse...

They are not for riding. They are not servants of men.

You mean they are servants of women then ?

[davenn]

The affection shown by the lion cub is amazing

 

[einswine]

Sorry, archaic use of the term, "men", here meaning mankind.

 

[jtbell]

OK, which would you rather try to herd?

Cats?


Or wiener dogs?

 

[davenn]

Old, but still very cool...

 

[Psinter]

I like bunnies the best, but these are cute too: (It's funny how it follows him. )


It's too tall here guys, let's move to the left and see if it is easier there. Nope, too tall here. Let's move to the right and see it it's easier there. Nope, let's try the left again guys. It's awesome how the mom knows there is still one missing . Mom be like: "None of my little ones shall be left behind!"


I think someone posted the following one already, but I can't remember: Blown by the wind

This video puts a humble smile on my face.



Warning/Advise: Don't read the YouTube's comment section, it will only ruin it for you. YouTube people at the comment's section sure know how to ruin a nice video like this.

Amazing, can NASA's camera produce the same picture quality ? That'll be horrible, as they can see every single tiny spot.
