| Thank you. :) Farm geese and ducks! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Domesticated geese can lay over 500 eggs in a year; compared to one or two clutches (something like 5-12 eggs) in wild species. Most domestic geese live 10-15 years, but have been known to reach 40! They serve a variety of purposes beyond just food and for down feathers; they can great for property management *pest control, fertilizer, and they keep plants nipped down), gaurd animals (given their fierce nature), and companion animals (for humans and other species both). Depending on who you ask, there are roughly 11-15 recognized domestic goose breeds (look them up, some of their appearances might surprise you!) _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Thank you everyone! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I love both of the Mojo geese too! Next are the Jersey cattle! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This breed, originally known as Alderney cattle, come from the small island of Jersey off the coasts of England and France approximately during the 1740s. They made land in the US in the 1850s. This small breed (usually topping around 1,000lbs) can range in color of tans and browns, but can also appear gray or even black. They are most well known for their milk that is rich in butterfat; most often used in foods like cheeses, butter, and ice cream. Their milk has much higher amounts of various minerals/nutrients in it, but specifically it has 18% more protein in it, and 20%more calcium , amd 25% more butterfat than other breeds. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Jersey cow ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) Last summer, I spent an afternoon with a dairy farmer in southern Brittany. His herd was made up of Primholsteins and a small Jersey, and she was the leader of the herd. I'm torn between CollectA and Schleich. |

| Thank you everyone! @Kiki, jerseys can be very spunky! So that doesn't surprise me one bit. Scottish Highland Cattle! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This is a very ancient and long lived breed; these cattle can live beyond 20 years old and the earliest record is in archaeology from the 6th century, while the earliest written record is from the 12th. They are also the oldest registered breed of cattle; first herd was registered in 1884. They can range in color from black (considered the traditional color, to brown, red (the modern standard), and blonde! Their characteristic shaggy coat is an unusal double coat for cattle breeds. The outer coat is oily and weather resistant, while the inner coat is fluffy. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Really nice domestic collection. Love the highland cattle, I didn't know they were traditionally black, I would be cool to see some in that color. Boer goats are cool looking, and I know like you said they are generally considered good tempered, but the first boer I ever worked with personally was a huge weather who rammed the barn door so hard he took it off the tracks. You couldn't work in with him, he was considered a dangerous animal. ![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif) The second and only other was a young boer in a petting zoo. She ultimately had to be removed because she wouldn't stop trampling children. But apparently, according to many other livestock keepers, they are not normally like either of these, haha. |

| Thank you everyone! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], there are ALWAYS exception to the rule. ![Wink](/users/3211/17/63/12/smiles/1466736124.gif) To be honest, I feel for petting zoo animals. They put up with far worse humans than we do animals. ![Wink](/users/3211/17/63/12/smiles/1466736124.gif) Mixed sheep 1. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]These guys were developed by Robert Bakewell amd gis students the Culley brothers circa 1767 and their name comes from being developed near the Scottish border. Border Leicester sheep are the largest indigenous breed to the British Isles. Historically they are called the "great improver" because they have been used in crosses to improve herder's stock. Over the course of a year, they can produce 8-12 lbs of wool that after scouring (cleaning treatment) 70% of the product. Generally they are considered docile animals, heavy milking mothers, and great foragers who can get by on less feed provided to them by a farmer/rancher. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Black angus cattle! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Originating from Scotland, they were developed in the mid 1800s. The first herd eas brought to Kansas in 1873.This is a shorter lived breed, if kept in a herd they can reach about 10-15 years, but calf productivity is usually only around 3 years. The American Angus Association is the largest database for 20+ million cattle records, including genetic data. Their signature black coat is related to a reduced risk of "cancer eye" as well as snow/sun burned udders. The breed does bring with it four potential recessive defects: arthrogryposis multiplex- referred to as “curly calf” and affects lower mobility of joints; neuropathic hydrocephalus- known as “water head,” which can cause a malformed skull; contractual arachnodactyly- which is known as “fawn calf syndrome” and affects hip mobility; and dwarfism. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.
