You totally made my day with your post. LOL, LOL !! I am still laughing, but now to be serious, Mr. Lazier is afraid something just might happen to him or his rather large family because of his newly acquired wealth. They did celebrate the discovery with a BBQ of 1 of his 2,000 cows. When I read that he owned 2,000 head of cattle I thought that he must be pretty well off already and now can easily afford some security.
I was raised on a beef production farm, hence the nickname Horsepower. I rode a horse to move the cattle. A heifer (young female), becomes a cow when she has a calf. The calf drinks the milk for 6 months before it is weaned. When the calf is weaned the mother cow dries up & there is no more milk until she has another calf. On dairy farms they take the calf away from the cow at 3 days old and use machines to milk the cows. In just a few months those cows will dry up too and stay dry until they have another calf. Several articles mentioned Mr. Lazier has a herd of 2,000 cows and I'm not sure why you find that exaggerated. It's really not that unusual and FYI Jace, not all cows need to be milked everyday.Jace wrote: ↑3 years agoS-6/27 10:15 a.m EST
O.K......H p...info right-on...from BBC news
Picture showed huge chunks...
But I question " the 2,000 cows"..
That may have been "a SLIGHT EXAGGERATION"!!!
Cows have to be "milked " every day..
Whoo!!!! How long would that take???
And even with his 30 kids helping...
Oh! But maybe he gets his 4wifes to help , too.
More hands make less work!!!!!
Ha! Ha!
Truth. I'm so glad you explained Horsepower as I was cringing with the inaccuracy.Horsepower wrote: ↑3 years agoI was raised on a beef production farm, hence the nickname Horsepower.

Also..steers (which are kept in herds to sell for meat) are never milked. Just saying...Horsepower wrote: ↑3 years agoI was raised on a beef production farm, hence the nickname Horsepower.
