Rompam without reversal?????? sound nuts?

I am well-vaccinated against viral-garbage that is spewed all over the internet, being the discerning news reader that I am...



Once again, DJD is presenting false information in supposedly his own words. They are not- and Snopes.com way back in 2009 addressed this viral email that is printed above, supposedly in his own words. Nope, doesn't fly with moi, Monsieur...

I believe Deer Dee, that President Obama would chose to NOT defend himself against such blasphemy, but I won't hesitate to do so.



Dennis' claims of "truth" are addressed on www.snopes.com (for those who may be unfamiliar, snopes.com exists as a website that attempts to address virally distributed emailed MISINFORMATION, and purported facts with which we are unfortunately bombarded on a daily basis by less than bright minds).



Dennis quotes some things supposedly out of BO's books, but neglects of course, to give us page numbers. Well, Snopes.com addresses, lo and behold these same purported 'truths,' as Dennis refers to them, and they actually site exact page numbers, and correct the misinformation being spewed at us.

and oh yes, the Truth must sometimes prevail...



snopes i srun by a couple democrats. true story
 
Lanasvet,

I said I was not sure it was true or not.....So take a deep breath and CHILL....but I do not like Obama and if it is obvious, and it should be....I DO NOT CARE!! He is out to destroy the America that we all Know and Love!! I find it hard for anyone with any kind of sense to even think this man knows what he is doing.......Obama is a JOKE!! GOD BLESS ALL should he get re elected.
 
Please, let's agree to leave the Almighty out of this ridiculous discussion. It is neither befitting of Him or of any highly-intelligent creature. Clearly, I am neither the former or the latter, otherwise I would just stop already. I will do my darndest now to STOP.
 
Sorry Lanasvet that is one of the biggest problems this country has (Leaving God out of things). I was very serious above when I said God Bless us all should

Obama get re elected........You may think it is rediculous ........but I will do everything in my power to expose Obama for who he truly is! We can not afford another 4 years with this man in the White House!!

Dennis, I am beginning to really feel sorry for your wife. May the Force be with her!
 
Maybe you two can get together. I can already see the sparks flying.
 
Virgil- thanks for two really good laughs in less than 24 hrs time!



So, I have to note that your Extra Gold is one of the most beautiful boys I've ever seen. I hope that you let him hang out with the girls often because he deserves to spread his beauty around as much as possible, and I'm not talkin' artificially either! hehe. Please keep him safe.
 
Yeah Virgil your a real hoot....Lana......Virgil only owns half of Extra Gold and it is the back half....we can't put him in charge of the thinking end!!

Gotta admit - I laughed pretty hard at Virgil's ''Get a room'' comment myself!



Also gotta admit that Extra Gold is an ''extra beauty'', as you stated Lana, and he is one of my all time favs as well.



I would love to see that deer's antlers flatout explode this year. This is the year for that to happen, let's hope and pray it does.



Best of luck to you Dennis and to you Virgil on Extra Gold!
 
Mark dont tell Virgil that he will get a big head......oh wait.....never mind..... it cant get any bigger.....LoL......Thanks so much for the kind words on Extra Gold.....we are expecting some great things from him.......God Willing!!
 
So, I'm just wondering... a guy down the road from my home has some very nice show horses. He built a special stable for them that is totally padded with a strong rubberized pad that effectively absorbs their weight and allows them to walk around shoeless if necessary without damaging their hooves. The guy is a friend of my dad's and I know that he spend over 1mln on this special barn that has a hospital room and everything necessary for a vet to do simple procedures when necessary. The guy sold one horse recently for over 160K to someone in AZ...



So, I'm wondering, what do you guys do to give special treatment to your "special bucks" or does? Seriously, do you feed them differently, do they sleep in separate areas? Do you change their straw more frequently? I try to spoil my Rosa, but somehow feel pangs of guilt when I don't treat the other deer as well as the one that I raised.



I brush my Rosa everyday. I give her sweet feed as a top dressing in her feed, I buy her nice mineral blocks and the best deer feed that I can find at the local Feed store. The only thing that's missing from my feed is Probiotics (which I will look into soon) and perhaps some more minerals b/c she has been licking on her mineral block quite a lot.



Are there special efforts that you all make with your "special" deer or do you treat them all unilaterally? just wondering.



thanks for turning this thread around.
 
G'day Lanasvet.

My special deer get to hang around a bit longer.

As for treats or special feed,that would mostly go to lactating does/hinds & their fawns/ calves.

At about 14 months the special boys are put in to the various bachelor herds (first cull).

Every year the special boys are kept & if they make it to 5 or 6 yo they might spend a year or two with the girls.

I breed to "origin" or "type",my eye is pretty sharp & I cull ruthlessly even if the pedegree looks good on paper. I love deer but can't afford much emotion.

Girls are culled on conformation,fertility & production.If one is spoilt more than another,its no longer an even playing field.How do I select then.



I do have one red deer hind which is hand reared (a rescue),She's trouble,& cant thrive with her own type.She is not even usefull in calming down or leading her own type when they are being worked.She needs special treatment now because of this,its sad really.She would have been much better if she could have been raised by her mother.I can't even keep her in the house paddock as you'd expect with a "pet",because she thinks she's human,& wants to come inside,into cars,go through gates with you, etc.She is a good learning tool though for visiters,& is my only deer with a name,"Chelsea".



Treats may be used to help manage,& as soon as they realise a white bucket means grain,my life is easier for some management tasks.

I think I'm treating all my species as special, by keeping & managing them as close to their individual natural needs as possible.This does not only include food, but maximising space & range,a mix of habitat,low population densities,age structures/dominance & interfering as little as possible in their daily needs, appart from ensuring all their needs are met.How many farmed deer issues arrise from environmental stress,even when nutrition is met?

With so many different deer & antelope,plus batchelor & breeding mobs, healthy independent animals which can forage for themselves, are a must.



Cheers Sharkey
 
Hey Sharkey,

You've gotta come visit us in the Former Yugoslavia. I think you would get a kick outta Tito's hunting grounds in Karadjordjevo, Vojvodina Province and on the Brioni Islands of Croatia. Bring along your wife, she will totally fall in love with the Adriatic and thousands of offshore islands from Montenegro all the way up the coast to Pula (where there is a Roman amphitheatre in great condition). It sure was once a beautiful country, and Tito did a lot to conserve the various species he cultivated (as you once explained to me).

Cheers to all,

lana



ps- Your explanations never cease to impress...
