Title:
"Hereford Cattle - Moms and Calves"

Description:
Here's a video I did of a bunch of the Hereford cows and calves that are at the ranch I was recently caretaker for in Northern California, while my friend, who is the ranch manager was away on vacation with her family. Accordin' to a Google search . . . "More than five million pedigree Herefords exist in over 50 countries. The origin of the Hereford is lost in the mists of time but it is generally agreed that it was founded on the draught ox descended from the small red cattle of Roman Briton and from a large Welsh breed once numerous along the border of England and Wales. The characteristics of the modern Hereford were implanted by a group of breeders more than 200 years ago. Herefords will stand out in the arctic snows of Finland, endure the heat of Northern Transvaal, withstand the tough climate and rough grazing of northern Uruguay or the subtropical zones of Brazil and continue to thrive." . . . and, AND the calves are so darn CUTE!! LOL The song is "Dance, Cajun, Dance" by Cajun Playboys.

"Life on a Ranch"
Here's a video of some of the many critters I was caretaker for recently at a ranch in Northern California, while my friend, who is the ranch manager, was away on vacation with her family. I was caretaking for a herd of cattle, 7 horses, 2 house cats, 2 barn cats, 2 dogs, 3 goats, and, last but not least . . . 6 turtles. Sooooo . . . what do ya get when you mix most of those critters together? . . . YEP!!! . . . another YouTube video of course!! LOL . . . doin' all the daily chores while caretaking a ranch is much like painting the Golden Gate Bridge . . . you start painting the bridge at one end and just as you finish painting at the other end of the bridge, you realize it's time to start painting at the beginning all over again!! LOL . . .so yeah, feed critters, move various horses to pastures from their stalls/paddocks, fill water troughs, clean stalls/paddocks, put in fresh wood shavings as needed, sweep barn aisles, clean cat litter boxes, walk dogs, ride the quadrunner ATV out to the big cattle pasture in the hills, to check for any new calf births, make sure no coyotes killed or maimed any newborn calves overnight, move horses back to stalls/paddocks, feed them again, blanket certain horses, recheck animals just before going to sleep, then go to bed, and YEP!! . . sure enuf! . . . it's time to start the process all over again the NEXT day! LOL The song in the video is "Down Home" by Alabama.
Bulls fight
Angus bulls on Hollin Farm near Delaplane, Virginia, posture and fight for dominance in their group of males. The mature bulls weight over a ton. Music is "Take Five" from "The Essential Dave Brubeck" available on iTunes and on CD.Video footage by my son Robert Davenport. This video shows why bulls are hard to raise. They are so big and strong that when they fight, they destroy fences and buildings. We have had several bulls that broke their legs in these battles and had to be put down. Usually a group of bulls will sort things out after a few days and don't fight much after that. But introduce a new bull, and there is trouble. Steers (being castrated) do not exhibit this competitive behavior to the extent that bulls do. Steers are easier to manage. Hence feedlots have steers or heifers but hardly ever bulls. However, steers grow slower than bulls and hence a general agricultural practice in the USA is to give them growth hormones in a small implant in their ear. This makes the steers grow and put on weight at the same rate as bulls. However, they never become as muscular as these bulls are. We don't give implants as part of our natural beef program. http://hollinfarms.com/pages/beef.html Angus bulls are generally not very aggressive toward people. Angus cattle are a British breed developed for beef. Their beef has more marbling (fat) than European or Indian/Africa breeds. They are "polled" (they are bred to have no horns) and this makes them less dangerous to people and to each other. However, Angus cows can be dangerous when they have young calves and sometimes will chase you when they feel that their calf is threatened. I've been knocked down and Mimi was hit by a cow and flipped backwards over a barred wire fence. I have put up a youtube doc "Tagging Calves, Dangerous Work".

Confessions of an Area 51 Employee 8 (Cattle Mutilations)
THIS IS A HOAX Mr. X. Signing in once again. For those few who eagerly await each installment of this series, my apologies for the delay. However, due to many things, I cannot guarantee how many--or how often--videos you will see from this point forward. Now, I am going to address a question from the member bidonpseudo, because I feel the nature of the answer is most apropos, and it's something I should have touched on earlier. It's extremely pertinent to the entire Area 51 issue. Bidonpseudo asks: "Could you be more precise when you say that this elite is not part of the government ? I mean they are chosen among high ranking employees of the federal government, right ? Are they only military or some of them are civilians?" And to quote, verbatim, my answer: "Yes, they are appointed by the government. But what has happened, they have become megalomaniacs with all the power and secracy that they have been given. They have exploited those powers to secretly usurp the government, occasionally making unwitting puppets of presidents. The "elite" is comprised of both military and high-ranking public officials, while the sub-elite are mostly military. They see themselves as Nietzsche "ubermensch," while those who work for them are the "untermensch." All non-governmental civilians are alternately classified as "organic resources" or "biological assets." There are certain exceptions, however, such as those with special education or those with Einsteinian-caliber intellects. While their general agenda is fascist, they do not discriminate against any ethnicity, and have, from what I know, at least one high-ranking African-American within their circle." To delve deeper into my story, without me having to repeat everything, I suggest that everyone who watch these videos--if you haven't done this already--be sure to check out all the comments on my profile page. But yes, from what I understand, the "elite" I often refer to, have a very Dr. Strangelove-esque mentality. Now, tonight, I want to cover cattle mutliations. As you know, the regions most laden with this phenomenon--New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, etc.--are near many of the atomic bomb test sites during the 40's and 50's. And, of course, UFO buffs attribute it to aliens. And what a species as highly evolved enough and scientifically advanced enough to travel millions of miles [I meant light years] would want with a ton of walking hamburger, I have no idea. But there are also those who attribute it to satanic cult sacrifices--which there has never been any evidence that satanic cults practice such bloody sacrifices. And the average skeptic attributes it to the common predators. And the truth is, common predators like coyotes are probably responsible for many, if not most, of the mutliations. However, through my colleague, I have learned that elements within Area 51 are responsible for at least some of the mutilations throughout the southwest. And the purpose of this, is to test for lingering radiocative contamination in the livestock from all the nuclear and atomic weapons tests from the 50's hayday. And if you look, you'll find what types of organs are usually removed from the bovine carcasses, you will find that they are the exact organs that would be required to test for such contamination. And many of the wounds present on the carcasses seem to be made with a precision type laser, which I can assure you the military is in possession of--a variety of such weapons, in fact. Just do a little research, and you will find that they do indeed exist. Also, eyewitnesses have spotted black helicopters at or around the site of cattle mutilation incidents. And I can tell you that Area 51 houses a veritable fleet of these black helicopters, that were designed and constructed by McDonald-Douglass. And they are equipped with a special rotary-propeller system that renders the propellers and engine virtually silent. And this is something that's in the white territory. You can do a little research yourself and find out that these do indeed exist. You don't have to take my word for it on this one. Now, you may ask, why doesn't the military just go out and buy their own heard of cattle to test? A. It would raise too much suspicion. And B. They require random, uncontrolled samples to properly evaluate the level of contamination. And from what I know, the findings have been highly disturbing, which may explain the exponential growth in cancer rate over the last 50 years. Anyway, they usually test these bovine carcasses while in the air. It's a very fast, clockwork-like surgical procedure--they remove necessary organs, and then drop the cattle back to the ground. And that's why, in some of the cattle mutilations, they find that the bones are actually broken. And that explains how, when they are dropped from such a height. I would like to go into further detail, but I'm afraid I'm out of time for today. So, until next time, Godspeed.
