#Cattle raising

[thatqueersteer]

Mkay so I've officially begun my cattle journal

Yak/cow is my theriotype yes but cattle und bovine are also my main special interest since I was 8 according to my old guardian when I met a calf for the first time,a precious hoilstein calf sweet faced bright pink nosed and something in my woke up like a peice of me clicked in place.

I of course immediately decided to name them choosing Charlie sticking by the little guy the whole time but I'll describe that in another post probably point is I stopped eating beef soon after and still won't.

Now before I continue please know if you est beef I don't think that makes you bad,I love my husband dearly and he really like to eat it I don't like ut but I never guve him shit for it at all.

Ever since that day I've had this passion this obsession and utter love for cattle and I actually didn't realize yak was a theriotype until like a year maybe year and a half ago but when it clicked holy fuck it felt good.

My absolute dream job is to be a professional cowboy and rescue cattle and make sure they get good homes and care my happy place is sitting under a tree in the field with my moo crew sharing snacks.

Lately my special interest has majorly intensified in a mew fiery way and despite the constant stress in life it always makes me feel good in some way.

So therefor I've gotten a journal to write notes in and have for info dumping haha if anybody is interested I will post about it when it's finished ^-^

Since it's on the topic I personally believe me being autistic and my theriothropy have connection not sure how to explain but I believe that,doesn't make me less valid or real it just makes me ME and I like me

Here's our dog dressed as a cow and yes I keep it on him and we call him our little cow now haha the bell jingles ya'll !!

God I wish my brain didn't shut down the moment I try to actually write down anything about my OCs/ideas/etc. I've got some freaks knocking around in here y'all would go wild for.

it is 4 am and i have changed my mind on graves being southern.

he’s actually from like missouri or iowa or some shit like that but he started working with a lot of brits who heard a vaguely american accent and called him southern. he started leaning into it as a joke but it very quickly escalated far beyond that and now he can’t go back

him being “southern” became so ingrained in the core of his being that the hollywood southern accent became second nature. why yes, he did grow up drinking sweet tea. gosh darn those hurricanes man… also he grew up in a swamp in the sticks that was also a dairy farm. lots of churches, right?

he is the south.

just don’t ask specific questions please it’s hard for a cishet white man to recall his Tragic Past in the bible belt :’(

I'm in a sad moo mood so I'm gonna vent a bit about the cattle I miss dearly and introduce them

Black steer is my personal actual companion and son (aside the one due in may) his name is Ichabod Nathaniel Crane but as time goes on his nickname Boo boo takes over if not that we call him Icky,he's still alive and I know where he is I'd say he is 9 now if not 10 I think possibly 10 wow how time flies.

I will make a post dedicated to Icky specifically but I miss him the most out of then all look at the handsome boy!!

Brown round mama is Blackberry,red heifer is Rhodney (Rhododendron),Black with white speckles cow is CC (short for cookie cupcake) and Lil calf is Applesauce

These were my neighbors cattle though I always muvh more considered the cattle themselves my true neighbors,there have been other ones there over the years but for this post I'll keep to this specific group/time frame aside Blackberry she was ALWAYS there until the very last day for us both ;^;

This was my Moo crew everyone knew they were my freinds,my passion and connection to cattle is next level I don't just get sad about animals I used to know or can't hardly ever visit these are freinds who are gone and a child whom I can't see it devastates me perhaps right now it's a little bit the hormones making it so overwhelmingly deep but trust when I say these animals and their absence effects me deeply.

I love my stiffness,figurines,drawings and gear so much it really does make me happy but nothing can truly replace the real company of a fellow bovine just being near or hearing them Moo.

Blame hormones,special interest aspect of autism or even call me senstive I don't care I love and miss them too much 🖤🐄

Since the dental Tribble has been on a strict no kibble, no crunchy, no chewing diet. (In a week or so she'll be allowed to use her teeth again a bit more, but no one wants to see a dog get dry socket.) Spouse feels that canned dog food (perpetually on hand to make into pupsickles) is not experienced as filling enough, and we do know that Tribble has done better on grain inclusive foods for the past decade, so... the rice cooker has been simmering with chicken stock rice too bulk out the canned food all week, and Matilda and Benton have both gotten a fair bit of overflow rice as a treat.

Unconnectedly, tonight happens to be my first night alone as the sole human all evening in quite a few months. Matilda has been doing her job of enforcing bed, of course, but I can also rely on other humans to help make routine happen if she's too tired to be on it.

If I was worried that Tilly hadn't worked out her evening routine enforcement functions before now, I shouldn't have been. I don't think I've ever seen a dog so excited to move the evening along towards the part where dinner and the good cookies are.

What was your best hunt you'd say? :)

SUNDOWNER anon

OHOHOOOOO buckle in for THIS ONE, boo-boo…

Picture this, yeah? Me ‘nd some of my buds, wanderin’—stakes ‘nd crucifixes ‘nd… I don’t even know, knives ‘r guns in hand, right?

‘Nd then we stumbled on not one, not two—but a whole damn family of blood suckers! They were all feedin’ on some cattle’s insides—it was the perfect set up. We ambushed ‘em real quick, not even givin’ em a minute to fight back as we pierced right through ‘em with our bullets, blades, ‘nd pikes.

It was fuckin’ revolutionary… best part, we got t’ take the dead cattle home too. We had rations for weeks!

For so much death in one short story, the huntress seems real enthusiastic about retelling it.

That wasn’t all that common where I was from. Some lucky fuckin’ ducks, we were..

Getting up at 5:30am every morning to drive out to do farm chores was not on my bingo card for like literally ever.

But here i am getting up at 5:30 so i can run out and make sure the chickens have food and water, see if they've laid any eggs yet, go let the small goats out of the barn and give them their daily bribes, go love on the bucks for a bit because even tho they are horrifically stinky they need affection too.

Then more recently my aunt decided to pick up 2 kittens to be barn cats but i suspect they might end up indoor cats instead so i have to go deal with their litter and food and entertain them with whatever free time i have before i have to drive back into town for work. The gas money is mildly crushing, but toooo be fair, free eggs.

I feel vaugely like what I imagine a border collie must feel like encountering sheep for the first time. Like something just clicks that its like ah yes, this is what im for this is what im supposed to be doing.

Sammy pushing away her trauma with that “I've already forgotten” line is so real for a lot of farm kids, like damn.
