Re: [MBZ] Putting a Lambo to good use - towing goats and bales of hay

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Finally checked out the original post in this thread. Judging from the rustic look of the trailer, I would have said cheap Fiberfab Kit Car if it had a USA plate on it. (and, going from the subject of the email, I was thinking Lamborghini Trattori, for Ferruccio Lamborghini made his fortune in tractors before he started dabbling in supercars)Mitch.On July 27, 2016 at 4:13 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes  wrote:My code-word for a (70s) caddylac was Missouri Cattle Truck.

A buddy of mine ended up with some number of water buffaloes.  It is 
actually a pretty funny story.  I can't remember all the details but 
it involved a guy who had like 20 of the things he was going into the 
mozarella cheese business and needed some place to keep them. This was 
like 4 or 5 years ago, maybe 6.  My buddy has cattle he raises for 
beef for restaurants around here, and his farm is along the river, so 
for whatever rent he said sure he would keep them and do whatever with 
them, they can hang out in the river or ponds or whatever.


So time goes by and the guy is not dealing with the WBs, then goes 
dark, not paying anything and can't be reached.  Some months pass and 
he calls up and says he has found another place for them, so he says 
he'll come and get some to take wherever.   My buddy notices a few 
days later seems like there are more around so he counts them and is 
totally like WTF is going on, there's more of them now than there were 
before.  Seems rather than picking them up the guy dropped off more 
that he had been keeping somewhere else.  So now there's like 30-35 of 
them hanging around, and the guy disappears again.  Plus I think they 
started reproducing, there might have been a bull or two in the mix 
along in there at some point, or he brought them or something.


Then some other guy from Georgia calls and says he has bought them, 
some number of them, and wants to come get them.  My buddy by then is 
like come get every one of the damn things, I'm tired of fooling with 
them.  So the guy shows up with a tractor trailer, and starts loading 
then says he only bought 20 or 25 of them, he can't deal with the 
others, thank you very much.  So my buddy now has a bunch of the 
things around still, and reproducing.  They are pretty big, and fairly 
docile but stupid, so he just kinda lets them hang out with his other 
cattle.  He might have sold some or something but apparently the 
market is fairly limited to cheese producers and there aren't too many 
in that bidness.  I'm not sure they're any good for eating or they 
would be on menus around here.  I don't think anyone else wants to 
milk them so they just do whatever cows do.  You go over there and 
drive through the fields, and there are these big water buffaloes and 
babies hanging around in the pastures and the woods and whatnot, mixed 
in with his regular cattle, it's pretty funny, looks like Vietnam or 
some damn place.

It's work - but not necessarily _that_ much.

If only 10 of that 20 acres is in pasture, and there is a
water source, the cows could be just fine for weeks.  Or
months.  Unless the coyotes get them.  Or the cougars.  Or
they get sick.  But they don't need daily attention.  If so,
all the guys running cows around here would have no stock.

Well, it's not quite that simple. Close, but not quite.

You need to have plenty of good water available 24x7.

You need to have a good fence.

You need to locate a large-animal veterinarian who is willing to make
house calls. Talk with him about where to get the animals, what to look
for to insure healthy, sound stock, how to transport them. What to feed
them, besides grass. And, have him stop by to inspect and vaccinate your
new herd as necessary right after you get them.

Very young calves, like what I transported in our Benz, are the least
expensive way to get started. They do, however, need to be bottle fed for
several weeks after you get them.

You will likely need to get some cottonseed meal "cake" to feed them
(also used in your hand as treats to get them used to you) and likely
vitamins and minerals. Minerals can be had as a brown "salt" block, which
you just dump on the ground by their water trough.

Your friendly local vet and your Ag Extension are go to resources.

It's work - but not necessarily _that_ much.

If only 10 of that 20 acres is in pasture, and there is a
water source, the cows could be just fine for weeks.  Or
months.  Unless the coyotes get them.  Or the cougars.  Or
they get sick.  But they don't need daily attention.  If so,
all the guys running cows around here would have no stock.

Re: [MBZ] Putting a Lambo to good use - towing goats and bales of hay

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Lots of work having livestock. They need to be taken care of nearly every 
single day or they die. Imagine how fun it'll be when one is sick or something 
and remember you'll need somebody to feed and water them when you're gone...

Speaking of calves, I have 20 acres, I nothing about cows but I feel I need to 
get at least is coupe of cows. I assume I just go down to the livestock auction 
and buy a couple and when they get big I sell them or send them to the butcher 
for a freezer full of meat.

I used our '72 220D/8 to haul two calves back home from the Calhan, CO,
Livestock Auction. They went in the trunk and then, because of a blizzard
just starting, wound up in our bathroom for a couple of days.

Can you imagine how spoiled those goats are now?  Telling all their pals
about being shuttled around in a $500,000 ride.

My code-word for a (70s) caddylac was Missouri Cattle Truck.   We'd see 
them used to haul calves into the livestock sales, (or home from the 
sale)  They'd take out the bottom back seat cushion, and stuff the 
calves in.

Who says all Lamborghini owners are stereotypically rich? Some are working
goat tenders.
