“I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone.” AnimalGoneHeardAirMountainCreaturesBirdDesertCattleLamentDesolatePastures Author:Jeremiah

“Brambles, in particular, protect and nourish young fruit trees, and on farms bramble clumps (blackberry or one of its related cultivars) can be used to exclude deer and cattle from newly set trees. As the trees (apple, quince, plum, citrus, fig) age, and the brambles are shaded out, hoofed animals come to eat fallen fruit, and the mature trees (7 plus years old) are sufficiently hardy to withstand browsing. Our forest ancestors may well have followed some such sequences for orchard evolution, assisted by indigenous birds and mammals.” YearsWellsMayAgeYoungUsedAnimalTreeParticularEvolutionProtectBirdFruitForestsFallenRelatedApplesPlusMatureFarmsAncestorSequenceIndigenousDeerCattleHardyMammalsOrchardFigsPlumsBlackberriesFruit TreesBrowsingCitrusQuince Author:Bill Mollison
“Men swagger around calling themselves "cattlemen" but abuse their grass like a rapist. And abuse their cattle with concrete fecal feedlots without any regards to rumen function. Vegetable growers plow thousands of acres, planting monocrops of annuals in a never-ending tillage routine that totally annihilates carbon wealth. Why? Why are we so enamored of things that destroy carbon and disrespect the animals under our care? Grass. Lowly grass. It just gets no respect. And yet it is the lifeblood of the planet.” MenCareWealthAnimalPlanetsCallingAbuseFunctionRegardPlantGrassRoutineVegetablesConcreteCarbonDisrespectCattleNever EndingAnnualsAcresSwaggerNo RespectEnamored Author:Joel Salatin
“On the farm, I had chores. I had a calf. We had a herd of cattle in the pasture. We'd go and get me a calf at a cow auction with Amish people, which I would raise. I gave it a bottle every day, in this cute little coop, like a giant dog coop almost. I've always been a big animal person.” PeopleLittlesPersonsBigsPastAnimalDogRaisesCuteGiantsBottlesFarmsCowsHerdsCattleChoresPasturesCalvesAuctionsAmish Author:Krysten Ritter
