Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, issued a bizarre string of Tweets this week in which offered to trade 100 cows for the right to marry likely Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and threatened war should the "Romans" refuse his offer. "For my Italian friends, these are Nkore cows," Kainerugaba wrote. "The most beautiful cows on earth. I know Europeans give girls they like flowers? I have never understood it. In our culture you give a girl you like a cow." "I would give her 100 Nkore cows immediately! For being fearless and true!!" he wrote in a separate...

A trend that kicked off last summer with protestors supergluing themselves to Starbucks venues has taken its next step. But that next step has landed protestors inside blocks of concrete, with placard-waving protestors closing off the entrance to a Nashville Starbucks by embedding themselves. In a campaign meant to show how vegan protestors are refusing to budge, the protestors waved signs asking Starbucks to 'end the vegan upcharge' on plant-based milks. Starbucks said: 'We respect our customers’ rights to respectfully voice their opinions so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.' The company said customers can add a...

Rioting farmers broke through a police blockade at the home of nitrogen minister Van der Wal last night. According to the police, the situation was so unsafe for officers that they were unable to intervene immediately. "At the time, the choice was made for our own safety," the police wrote on Twitter. The behavior of the farmers is criticized from several quarters. Police chief Willem Woelders calls it "completely unacceptable"... With the attacks on the police, last night's farmers protest was the most violent since Minister Van der Wal announced the cabinet's nitrogen plans 2.5 weeks ago. Last week, tens...

IntroductionAt first glance, 2022 cattle prices are higher than 2021. At $140, slaughter steer prices are 17.5% above 2021 prices, but even with higher prices, farmers and ranchers will travel a rocky road to profitability, paved with inflation and higher input costs in 2022. This Market Intel addresses the USDA’s Cattle on Feed report released on Friday, May 20, 2022, the forces driving cattle prices higher and how inflation and input costs will affect the bottom line for cattle farmers and ranchers. It will further walk through the combination of supply and demand factors that will affect the 2022 market...

South Korea’s largest dairy producer has faced furious backlash after its latest advertisement featured a man secretly filming a group of women — who were then depicted as cows. In the ad for Seoul Milk, a man is seen walking through the countryside with a camera and hiding in a bush. The women are then startled and turn into cows when the interloper steps on a twig. The ad ends with the words “Clean water, organic feed, 100 percent pure Seoul Milk. Organic milk from an organic ranch in the pleasant nature of Cheongyang.”

Democrats are going after our food source. Democrats snuck into the inferstructure bill these new climate change taxes on cows. The tax is $6,500 per dairy cow and $4,500 per beef cow. They are going after Agriculture in the name of Climate Change. Democrats are hoping Farmers will get rid of their cows.This will cause prices of meat and dairy to sky rocket. There will be a lot less available since most farmers cannot afford the high fines. People will starve to death in our country if this bill passes.We will have to import more meat and dairy from other...

The next time an MLB manager makes a moove to the bullpen, he will anger a large group of PETA activists who think the term bullpen is insensitive to cows. In a statement issued Thursday by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the animal rights organization made it clear they find the term “bullpen” to be mocking towards the “misery of sensitive animals.”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Like other ranchers across the country, Rusty Kemp for years grumbled about rock-bottom prices paid for the cattle he raised in central Nebraska, even as the cost of beef at grocery stores kept climbing. He and his neighbors blamed it on consolidation in the beef industry stretching back to the 1970s that resulted in four companies slaughtering over 80% of the nation’s cattle, giving the processors more power to set prices while ranchers struggled to make a living. Federal data show that for every dollar spent on food, the share that went to ranchers and...

Source: Provided by Ed AshurstArizona used to have some of the best livestock laws in the nation. Now, the cattle ranching industry is being torn apart due to a dismantling of the successful laws and regulations that used to prevent cattle theft. Close to 3,000 head of cattle have been stolen from at least 32 people in the last few years. Thieves brazenly stole over 100 cows with calves from well-known attorney and judge Tom Kelly in Yavapai County. Cowboys who once made a good living raising and selling cattle are finding substantial portions of their herds decimated, and when...

“We need a Stacey Abrams in every state,” declared left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore on his podcast, Rumble, during an interview with fellow leftist filmmaker Raoul Peck about the latter’s most recent TV series, Exterminate all the Brutes. Peck praised Abrams as a political pioneer in combating what he described as an American “machine” built on “genocide” and “slavery.”

MADISON, WI - Sure, police K-9 units get a ton of (well-deserved) credit for their law enforcement prowess, but when it comes to ending a long car chase, not much is going to top a herd of cattle. The Barron Co. Sheriff’s Department thanked its “Bovine Unit” for stopping the pursuit, which lasted approximately 13 miles and stretched from Barron to Cumberland. Deputies were chasing a Chevrolet Cavalier, the department explained on its Facebook page, when the driver came upon a group of cows standing in front of him. “That little Cavalier that could during the chase ran out of...

Methane emissions from livestock are a stubborn climate challenge. That's why Cargill is backing this cow mask, Agnieszka de Sousa reports. (That's all there is to this article)

Cow burps are apparently the source of a lot of methane in our atmosphere. And there are a lot of cows on Earth. But a new research mission suggests a great way to reduce those emissions and significantly lower methane, which causes warming on our planet, and its straight from the sea. As reported by the Guardian, adding seaweed to beef cow diets can lower methane by as much as 82%. “We now have sound evidence that seaweed in cattle diet is effective at reducing greenhouse gases and that the efficacy does not diminish over time,” said agricultural scientist Ermias...

They usually have to stay inside to avoid damaging the ground during wet winters.A rare video of Highland cows frolicking together in the snow has gone viral. The animals - Morag, Flora and Hamish - were seen playing as they enjoyed the cold weather conditions at Almond Valley Heritage Centre this week. Footage captured by a member of staff at the Livingston facility saw three of the cows running around the field basking in the snow. They usually have to stay inside to avoid damaging the ground during wet winters, but the frozen ground this week has meant they could...

According to Wired, a new bovine burp mask fitted with a catalytic converter catches methane expelled from cattle and converts it to CO2 and water. Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.~~~SNIP~~~There are 1.6 billion cattle on Earth, and their burps and farts are becoming a big problem. Cows expel methane, a colourless and odourless gas which is approximately 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide when it comes to warming the planet.Zelp, a UK-based company, has developed a potential solution in the form of a burp-catching face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions from cattle...

“House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was the target of opposition research hits that a local newspaper, owned by a broader national chain, dutifully reprinted on behalf of Fusion GPS without disclosing to its readers the questionable source of the information.”

(FOX NEWS) -- In the increasingly hectic and stressful year of 2020, people are seeking calm wherever they can find it — from frolicking through the fields to adopting plants. But now there’s another natural way to restore your cortisol levels: cow-hugging. People in several parts of the world have begun to embrace the alleged wellness trend, which reportedly originated in the Netherlands, where it is known as “koe knuffelen.” According to the BBC, the practice of cuddling cows is supposed to reduce stress in humans by releasing the bonding hormone oxytocin.

Burger King is staging an intervention with its cows. The chain has rebalanced the diet of some of the cows by adding lemon grass in a bid to limit bovines contributions to climate change. By tweaking their diet, Burger King said Tuesday that it believes it can reduce a cows’ daily methane emissions by about 33%. Cows emit methane as a by-product of their digestion, and that has become a potential public relations hurdle for major burger chains. Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental...

To most people throughout human history, more people consuming meat would be an unquestionable good. Inexpensive and readily obtained sources of protein and calories ease the daily struggle to keep body and soul together. But this is 2020, and the media/left aren’t really like most humans. CBS News touted an insane idea that we needed to hit “peak meat” by 2030 to avoid an “ecological disaster." Now, Bloomberg News touts “peak beef” and its effects as a more salient set of talking points.
