TRAPPE, Md. - If you're a suburban cowboy hankering to raise a herd and short on ranch land, mini cattle may be for you. New breeds of pint-sized heifers and bulls are making it easier for small farmers to raise cattle for milk, meat or just fun.
We are proposing to amend the regulations that govern the importation of animals and animal products to revise the conditions for the importation of live bovines and products derived from bovines with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). We are proposing to base importation conditions on the inherent risk of BSE infectivity in specified commodities, as well as on the BSE risk status of the region from which the commodities originate. We are proposing to establish a system for classifying regions as to BSE risk that is consistent with the system employed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the international standard-setting organization for guidelines related to animal health. The conditions we are proposing for the importation of specified commodities are bas...

Why don't Vermont dairy farms convert the calf commodity into steaks and roasts? According to [John McCracken], "'Cause they ain't worth nothin, it costs so much to do it." These days, grain for feed doesn't come cheap. "Corn is going to ethanol for fuel," he remarks. Even out West, in cattle-ranching country, feeding the excess animals is becoming a less appealing option. In any case, McCracken points out, "These guys aren't in the meat business; they're in the dairy business." Historically, the two require completely different infrastructures and cattle breeds. Excess bob calves from Thistle Hill and Shelburne Farms go to Addison County Commission Sales, which auctions them off to the highest bidder. "I don't know where they go from there," [Jeanine Putnam] remarks. [Sam Dixon] guesse...
Newcomers to this year's State Fair of West Virginia will weigh in at 1,000 pounds apiece, more or less. Longhorn and Gelbvieh cattle are two new breeds to take the show ring.
The National Western Stock Show, Rodeo and Horse Show is a lot more than just a cow show. There are 19 breeds of cattle represented as well as bison, yak, poultry, llamas, horses, sheep, swine and goats.
A New York Times story by Corey Kilgannon read almost like the plot of a sitcom: Cattle rancher Marion West discovers that he and Vy Higginsen, the head of a school for gospel singers in Harlem, N.Y., share a common ancestor, almost certainly a man from West's side of the family who owned slaves and fought for the Confederacy. West, 76, found Higgensen shared his genes through an online database called the West Family DNA Project, and the two got acquainted as instant "DNA cousins." As different as a white man in a cowboy hat and an urban black woman might appear to be, the two got along famously. West invited his newfound relative and her daughter to tour his Missouri ranch, stopping by a pine tree where he prays daily and visiting the community college he founded; Higginsen then invit...

LEWISTON ? Pack Life, the local animal advocacy group created to ensure that "no dog is left behind" will celebrate its first anniversary Saturday with a party at the Kennel Shop in Lewiston. The party, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will include food, a free raffle and a look at Pack Life's new programs for 2010. The event will also feature three puppies available for adoption through the CT Underhound Railroad, a Connecticut-based group that pulls dogs from shelters before they're euthanized and finds homes for them, sometimes out of state. The puppies in Lewiston are mixed breeds, likely part Australian cattle dog, and are about nine weeks old.
