I m one of the lucky few who can legitimately say they were born and raised on a farm. My family had, what today is considered a small family farm. We only had two quarter sections divided into different fields for hay, silage, crops, and pasture. We bought and sold stocker steers, and grew our own [ ]
A close friend of mine recounted a part of an event he was at where children were being educated about the environment. One of the educators happened to be pretty radical. But well-meaning. The children presented what they had learned from the day s events. The educator leaned close to one of the children and asked [ ]
I would highly recommend you to go watch the debate yourself, which is an hour and thirty minutes long, on Oxford University s YouTube channel, linked below. On July 11th, 2023, George Monbiot, author of several books including Regenesis and columnist for The Guardian, met with Allan Savory of the Savory Institute at Oxford University s Museum [ ]
I assure you, I won t give you a long, boring, drawn-out history of how the Ruminations Blog came to be. 😊 That said, Ruminations Blog is no longer going to be what it originally was. Originally, it was intended to be a place for a whole lot of myth-busting, and educating the general public about [ ]
Is it possible to debunk something that most people really don t know much about? Let alone, something that one isn t all that knowledgeable about, particularly when it comes to the complex ecosystem processes involved? I ask this in light of a few recent videos and articles that have attempted to debunk regenerative grazing. If you [ ]
There is a far-too common claim floating around the Internet I ll leave you to hazard a guess from whom and where this came: [Vitamin] B12 in meat is from supplements given to cows so why not just take [Vitamin B12 as a supplement] directly, anyway? When I read into this oft-mentioned quote, I see three other [ ]
Funny thing: Have you ever stopped to wonder about whether most people even know what a ruminant is, what it does, or even what it contributes to this planet? I know, it’s an odd question to even ask—let alone cross a person’s mind—but it bears thinking about when we do get on the topic relating [ ]
This post deals with explicit sexual details that some may find disturbing. Reader s discretion is advised. The sexual violation of cows that many an animal activist argues against some more vehemently than others involves regular use of the term forcibly impregnated. We ll get more into detail later about what this means, but it s important to bring this [ ]
I m confused. I thought cows were supposed to be some sort of colloquial term encapsulating all bovines, but then I get this meme telling me to, go vegan, after reading about how beef steers get raped and children murdered to produce milk for me are these some special kind of transgender, hermaphrodite bovines, or is [ ]
Recently in the news, there was some video footage captured of a bison bull tossing a nine-year-old child into the air at Yellowstone National Park. She sustained some injuries according to some of the news reports but otherwise is physically fine. Mentally though, I wouldn t doubt that she s still very shaken up from the encounter. [ ]
