icelandic sheep
>>5163860Yeah now that I look at it closer i rescind my opinion.I went right to the guys in the background while ignoring center frame.
>>5163866I mean the whole thing reeks of AI, you need to work on your visual parsing my friend.
>>5163858The same white sitting sheep is there like 6 times while there are no sitting sheep that are not white, cmon now. In fact a lot of sheep have identically posed dopplegangers
>>5163903>The same white sitting sheep is there like 6 timesNigga they're sheep. One pretty much looks just like another.

>dog gets diagnosed with pyometra >she also has a small ball shaped tumor on her vagina which closed it off and prevents any of the built up fluids caused by the pyometra to leak out>vet says she'd need to see a specialist and it would cost 8k>vet also said my dog is old and her knees are slowly dislocating Should I just euthanize her? Don't want her to die but at the same time I wonder if it's worth getting the surgery just for her to die of old age a year from now, that is if she even survives the surgery.
>>5163384I had to put down a dog two months ago, it was extremely hard to do but he would've suffered otherwise. You did the right thing and gave her a great life. My dog had a large ball-shaped tumor as well but it was benign.
Had two of my mom's dogs cease to exist this summer. Dog one was run over by a neighbor and we took him to the vet. Broken pelvis, keep him isolated and he should heal up and get better. After a couple days it was obvious he was not getting better. Took him back to the vet and there was more internal stuff going on than they had originally thought. Brought him home and put him down. Dog#2 got run through a swather by the neighbor. Not much left but a mangled sack of meat... At least there was no vet bill with that one, and it was over in about .5 seconds, so zero suffering.
>>5163741Wtf, was this the same neighbor?
>>5163815Neighbors Mexican irrigator ran over the 1st one driving through the yard to get to one of their fields. he was going slow and the dogs were barking at him and the young inexperienced one just ended up under the tire. Shit happens.Neighbor himself hit the dog with the swather. She shouldn't have been in the field and no idea why she didn't leave when the giant header full of spinning blades of death was coming for her... Field was some 7' tall haygrazer so not like he could see her in there at all. Farm dogs live shorter lives. The risks of death are everywhere. But they also get to run through fields and meadows and chase rodents any chance they wish, so they live very fulfilled lives as well.

Is this a brown recluse?
>>5163722That thing eats brown recluses for breakfast and black widows for lunchDaddy longlegs are bros
>>5163747Here's one in my bathroom that guillotined a ton of ants in half
>see one of those fuckers in some random place>carefully pick him up and put him above my shower because that's where huge ass thick spiders love to emerge from under the ceiling planks>next morning>see him chill ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE SHOWERgreat job retard. that's not where you're supposed to go fishing.
>>5163722>surrounded in yellowincontinent recluse
>>5163722There's a pretty easy test you can perform if you're not sure. Basically, you first grab it onto your hand and then keep poking and annoying it. If it bites you and you die, it was a brown recluse, if you don't, it wasn't.
>gf and I plan on getting a Cane Corso puppy (pic related, look at this absolute beast)>she literally wants to name him Cutie, I want to name him Caesar (which is ideal, draws back to his lineage and is strong like a Corso)Cutie or Caesar, /an/?

What kind of spider is this? Can I keep it as a pet?
Can it keep you as a pet?
Ugly.Get an orb weaver. They keep your house mosquito free and are super chill.
Depends. If you are Burger they might come knockin at your door for having a wild animal as pet.
>>5163995Many Americans have parrots, snakes, turtles, or bearded dragons. Why would a spider be illegal?
Caught what I'm pretty sure is an invasive baby crocodile geckowhat do I do with it I don't wanna take care of a geckoI got some fruit flies for him to eat but I don't have a lot of means to raise a gecko right now
>>5163912stop yelling at me
>>5163908fruit flies won’t sustain him he needs meal worms and crickets
>>5163920he's too small for those. like hes an inch and a half long, he could fit on a quarter
>>5163908just put him in your walls. Either he lives and takes care of bugs for you or he dies away from the poor native citizens
>>5163916Sorry, I've just seen too many posts on reddit and facebook where morons think the FWS is an omnipresent entity that will kick down your door because you released a brown anole back outside.

Animals we eat, get nutrition from in some form or make products from them or what they produce: eggs, meat, dairy, aquaculture, pelts, hides, leather & textiles, wife just made $500 selling 3 lambs. 2 wethers and a ram. we already have two 14cuft freezers full of lamb, hogget & mutton, so we didn't need them for butcher. they were just taking up space and consuming feed. we already have 3 select breeding rams. we only keep the ewe lambs for dairy. ewe lambs sell for a premium price but like many species, males tend to be more numerous than needed, so $500 for a trio of males is spectacular. they went to a "pet" home so definitely worked out in their favor as well. what are you raising and for what purpose(s)? what would you like to raise? what do you just have questions about or a general interest in?
Some of my retarded calves. 3 heifers we're keeping back as replacements, Melman the pet steer, and Todd the retarded gimp legged orphan steer that we will be eating at a later date.
>>5151291How difficult is it to keep a few goats for milk? I have a huge craving for milk such that I can easily drink a gallon a day
>>5162011Goats can be quite destructive. If you have good fences and goat proof shelter for them it is not that difficult at all to keep them. If you actually decide to get goats try and buy pregnant does or does that are already in milk. You'll need to band the boys to castrate, which is easy with two people. In a year you'll have tasty goat meat if you choose to keep them.Do not get a billy goat. Have someone bring one over to get them pregnant when needed and take it away. They're loud, super stinky, gross, can be aggressive and they are extra destructive.A good dairy goat can do 1 gallon per day, but you need a small herd to keep them happy, so 3 or 4 at least. I think nigerian dwarfs have the fattiest milk, but they produce significantly less milk. Good beginner goat because they are easy to handle.For milking you'll want a good milking stand. You can pretty easily train them to get right up on the stand with some sweet grain. Milking has a learning curve to it. Keep everything super clean and you'll be fine drinking raw milk. Educate yourself on mastitis and other goat diseases as well. Learning about bloat and how to prevent it is also extremely important.

Today was our best day at market ever. We sold around 1.6k worth of pork and eggs today. It felt like a normal day until I counted the cash and checked our square account. The first market we go to from 830-130 is our busy market. We sold around 1.4k of product and then our smaller but more local market we sold like 200-300 bucks. The local market is nice because we are friends with a handful of vendors there and the customers are all pretty local. Lots of yapping and bartering. Every day we are there more people know we exist.I tried my best to inform people about lard/backfat and pig bones. Got to explain the process of rendering fat to lots of people and the differences between leaf lard and backfat. Cooking has been such a big hobby for so long I didn't realize that not many people know how to render fat. I was still able to sell around 10lbs, so it was a win. In my area it is almost impossible to find gourmet quality lard and pork bones. It's the niche I want to serve. I just need to convince people to try it out. Next week I will make a little recipe for rendering lard. I also sold a pig heart. One of our really good customers was like what the heck Ill take it. Cool five bucks for it.Our first ever whole hog customer finally tried the meat and they said it was the best pork they ever had and they will 100% be buying another one from us when they finish this one up. Second everr whole hog hasnt got theirs yet, but the butcher has it. They couldnt wait for their bacon so they bought some from us hah.They wanted an on farm harvest so the guy came over around 8am, shot the pig, skinned it, eviscerated, and cut it in half before hauling it away in his refrigerated truck. It was pretty crazy watching the death spasms of the pig after it got shot. The smell of hot blood is quite pungent. Pretty intense experience overall. Pig ended up weighing 244lbs hanging, but the guy skinned it and removed the feet, so closer to 255 probably. Sold for 1100

I fucking love these lads like you wouldn't believe
>>5159085I'd believe.They are my second favorite group of Birds, just behind Vultures.
I wish I got to see the Great Auk or Haast's eagle
