Turning your grain into livestock

toadphoney  said about 10 months ago  or at  10:17AM on Wednesday, July 25 2012 in chat

In some farming communities. You can trade big bags of grain for single chickens and their ilk. If you're really clever, you can use a couple of chickens to make a heap of them. Try it. The federal reserve doesn't even mind. Eventually you can trade a heap of chicken for something like a cow. I am making a youtube documentary on it.

Your band is called Teenage Heifers?

This is further information for those who have moved past chicken and their ilk breeding into the cow side of this scheme.

you forgot to
''Brand Cows''


toadphoney  said about 10 months ago:

You can't sell the cow if it has your brand on it fool. You don't import panel vans and put airbrushed wizards on them from new do you? You have to let the punters make their mark.

Although a cow with sandman artwork on it would fetch a higher price in queensland.

That is a pretty awesome cow. You could get so many gunnies with that thing.

One doesn't ''calve cows'', cows calve. Unless you're a disgusting cattle fiddler.

And cattle must be ear tagged & registered before sale, and are usually branded.


MissAustralia2003  said about 10 months ago:

The cows can calve without your help.

Thank you very much Toadphoney

Ha. I just rang the federal reserve and they said they have no idea as to what you're on about. Check your facts.

Over 10 years ago I had some clients, kids about 15, who would do trades like - 3 frozen embryos for a pregnancy tested in calf cow with a cash adjustment.

Very tricky to work out for tax purposes. Quite a bit spent on liquid nitrogen along the way too.

the Fed Reserve (I know them so well I say 'Fed' not Federal) knows exactly what you're doing Toadphoney with your cows and you should pull your finger out and do some proper hard farmwork like the rest of us peasants. Or have you been so busy fiddling and talking with the FedReserve that you've forgotten just how much farmwork is satisfying and enjoyable? Tagging cattle in the crush etc. involves pleasant interactions, dexterity and a deft quick touch, and at the end of the day the reward of knowing you've been productive, have contributed to building something that is needed by others etc. and that will enhance your reputation in your neighborhood, consequently raising your self-esteem.

There's no goose that lays any golden egg.

Bullshit, you cow!

What about legumes. Where do they fit into all of this?

I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooooh, dream weaver
