| Above, yours truly at the corral. |
This afternoon, I took a drive in the Jeep over to the corral which is at the main gate to Six Mile Canyon.
As I approached, I saw about a dozen or more black cattle near the gate and corral. They were all females along with their calves.
It had been a while since I last drove Six Mile Canyon Road over to the corral. I'll probably go into Six Mile Canyon on Monday (Labor Day).
Naturally, I took some pictures.
The United States isn't the only country in the west with Leftist lunatics.
The Left in Ireland wants to destroy the dairy farm industry. All in the name of climate change.
The Federalist Papers reported:
The high priests of climate change are at it again, this time decreeing that 200,000 dairy cows must be put to death to satisfy the left’s global warming religion.
This latest outrage is coming from government officials in Ireland who have announced the destruction of tens of thousands of dairy cows so that officials can meet their climate change goals.
One proposal claims that by reducing the country’s dairy herd by 10 percent, the equivalent of removing 65,000 cows a year for three years, will help officials meet their emissions reduction plans, according to Farmers Weekly citing the Irish Independent newspaper.
The Telegraph’s Jamie Blackett called the whole plan a sort of “madness.”
“Spending vast sums of taxpayer’s money on destroying productive animals would be a perfect summation of the net zero madness infecting the West. The Irish Department of Agriculture has said that the report was just a ‘modeling document’, but no sane government would even get to the point of including such a plan in ‘a deliberative process’” Why? Because it is irrational,” he wrote.
“The government’s Environmental Protection Agency produced a report in February this year proposing a 30% reduction in Irish cattle, which would equate to killing well over half a million cows,” the outlet reported.
Governments are also pushing synthetic foods in hopes of replacing real food.
Such “innovations” presumably include eliminating meat and forcing everyone to eat bugs. Other “solutions” could involve the development of synthetic meats that apparently contain precancerous cells.
These sort of harebrained schemes to meet climate goals are the talk of leftist governments everywhere, granted. Recently President Joe Biden’s “climate czar,” John Kerry, also talked of targeting America’s family farms for destruction to satisfy the left’s climate change obsession.

While taking my trash container to the street this morning, I noticed something big and brown inside of my next-door neighbor's horse pen. Did His Fraudulency come over and take a dump in the horse pen?

Taking a closer look, I found that it was a brown cow. My neighbor must've gotten it yesterday or earlier today.
After putting my trash container on the roadside, I took a walk over to get a close look. Of course, I took some pictures.

My neighbor is going to need to enlarge the pen or get another one. With three horses and a cow, space is starting to get smaller.
Gotta love country living!

Today, I spent three and a half hours at the Southern New Mexico State Fair in Las Cruces.

I spent much of my time in the livestock area where judging was taking place on goats, pigs and sheep. I also roamed the different pavilions of poultry and rabbits and the pens where cattle, pigs, goats and sheep were kept. I was disappointed not to see any horses. I guess we can't have anything.

The area where the rides are wasn't open, not that I was going on any.
One pavilion contained model railroad sets. The biggest was in 'N' gauge and quite elaborate. Another pavilion had Coleman lanterns and stoves dating back to the 1900s. That was interesting.

The few photos here was from my phone camera. I have to upload the photos from my Canon camera either tonight or tomorrow. I will be attending the rodeo tonight. That starts at 7:00.

After the fair, I went in to Mesilla for lunch at the Cafe de Mesilla. I had an excellent chicken enchilada lunch. Following that, I went back to the KOA to rest up for a few hours.

So far, it has been an enjoyable day.
