The south-facing slope was once used to grow corn and graze cattle, but now sports three ecological homes, and is beginning a process of reforestation. It’s a wonderful piece of property, with a waterway running east-west down the middle. The north-facing slope… Source
Actually, despite the fact that central Asian steppes cover huge areas, Sociable Lapwings breed only around nomadic cattle herders’ settlements, which signifies that this species has evolved alongside wild ungulates, such as Blackbuck and Saiga antelopes, which kept the grass short.
There had been cattle in the area and we kept coming across bizarre butterfly circles. All we can think is that they were attracted to an area where there had been cattle urine and they were getting the natural salts. Another odd item of nature on the way back was the return of the Procession Caterpillars !
Humane treatment runs counter to the entire industry when the point is to make money by processing these animals as fast as possible.

We started our Singapore bird list at Pasir Ris and leaving the train station we were delighted to see several Cattle Egrets on the grass and several photographers. The grass was in the process of being cut and the birds moved ahead before we managed to photograph them.
It’s the process of using knowledge of natural history, habitat, distribution, behavior, and, yes, taxonomy, combined with specifics of adult and juvenile plumage and vocalization to identify a bird, often to the subspecies. The process is called “Wide-angle birding: Be the bird, see the bird.”.
From farmers asking their neighbors for advice on the best cattle feed suppliers to celebrities promoting toothpaste in television commercials, another customer’s experience is a powerful endorsement. Workflow strategy , which might incorporate processes for requests, nominations, recruitment, and all subsequent activities.
When there are no animals around to sit on, Cattle Egrets sometimes sit on trees, even though they frequently b h about the trees’ low speed and inability to stir up insects. When Cattle Egrets go to the local discotheque, they tend to overdo their makeup a bit. It is sometimes necessary to find food though.
In this case, they’re like the cattle that couldn’t be brought back into the herd before the gates closed on the corral. Team rewards should be part of your planning process moving forward; however, in the meantime, pilot a short program and monitor the results. If you’d like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
In this film, we see farmers interacting with the animals they will eventually transform into food (chickens, pigs and cattle). The farmers in the film confront very difficult questions posed by the filmmaker about why they think their approach to processing of meat is different than that of factory farming.
A local cattle station out of town received 652mm in the same 24 hour period, so we got off lightly! It is a slow process sorting out the flood damage. So, over a 48 hour period we had received 564mm of rain as compared to 338mm for the whole of 2021. We have not seen the end of the rain yet, but for now the land is soaking it up.
Heading south on a good surfaced road, we made slow progress through the herds of cattle, donkeys and goats that thronged the highway, until we finally reached the land of the Konso. Quality time was spent with a friendly Hamar family at their homestead of grass huts surrounding their cattle corral. A young Hamar woman.
With almost 1200 species of birds in the Capital Region, the house and roof steadily filled with Egyptian Vultures, Barn Owls, Hornbills, Black Ibis, Cattle Egrets, Steppe Eagles , a multitude of songbirds and pigeons , as well as the occasional cobra or palm squirrel. We will not give up,” says Nadeem. “It It is our duty to save them.”.
Apparently, the choice is for the nests to be flooded (those near streams) or to be trampled by cattle (those near the agricultural ponds). While grazing cattle and buffalo may look idyllic to us, the Oriental Pratincole has a very different view. Pestilence or plague, good to know the plovers have a choice.
Cattle Egrets are thoroughly modern birds – they were among the first species to ditch mailed letters for faxes, then switched to email early, and now (at least in China) mostly communicate by WeChat. They are also early adopters with regard to their foraging – nowadays mostly following tractors rather than cattle.
So New Zealand began the process of clearing islands of mammals, using poison, trapping and shooting. Symptoms in domestic animals vary: dogs tend to show nervous system signs such as convulsions and uncontrollable running, whilst large herbivores such as cattle and sheep more predominantly show cardiac signs.
Yet not mentioned is a simple step that will go a long way toward ensuring compliance with our already lax slaughterhouse requirements: Place video cameras throughout the kill process. We cannot allow food-processing businesses to disregard safety standards without financial and criminal retribution. Jonathan Spitz Westfield, N.J.,
Cattle might be overproduced because of government subsidies and new markets found for meat. It does not seem to be true in general that one is inconsistent if one uses a product that is produced by some process that one believes violates one’s moral principles.
And in the process, I fell in love with India. Of the estimated 500 million cattle in India, only 4% were destined for consumption by humans as meat.
