I know more about cattle farming than I ever thought I needed to know due to The Pioneer Woman. I love that site. They also just went through all the rounding up and shipping off to sell.
@sassyredhead: Not to snark, because I also love PW, but she and her husband and his family are actually really wealthy, and own one of the largest ranching operations in the country. They sell their cattle every year as part of their operation. The family in the above picture are selling what may actually be dairy cows in order to pay off debt.
@Crazie Janie: I was just saying that I know more about it from her site. And yeah, I can tell from the pictures they they are not hurting financially.
Man, I thought I'd duck into this thread, and now I really feel like a turkey for missing out on all these puns. I gotta hen it to you ladies--you have me practically bleating with laughter.
A friend of mine was in charge of putting together her Church's nativity scene this year. She actually found a pretty good deal on a camel but the camel lived far away and the church couldn't afford to get the camel towed to them.
What I'm wondering is where you rent a camel from. The zoo? Circus? Specialty camel retailers? What do they do for the rest of the year? Surely there can't be a year-long camel demand in Wisconsin...
I... don't recall a camel in the Bible. Of course, there are two birth stories to choose from, so you'll forgive me if the memory is fuzzy... and that's just in the four Gospels that made the cut, nevermind the many others that are floating about there in the annals of history.
@morninggloria: We don't do that anymore. We aren't getting mad, we're getting everything.
@OrlanthaGill: And yes, they are hiding under the same snow pile my car is hiding under. I will probably find them later today as I need to go to the grocery store.
Well my grandma always told me "why buy the camel when you can get the milk for free". We can't fault the camels for keeping an eye on their market value.

Martin: Uh, sir, why don't you just use real cows?
Painter: Cows don't look like cows on film. You got to use horses.
Ralph Wiggum: What do you do if you want something that looks like a horse?
Painter: Usually we just tape a bunch of cats together.
