National Farmers Day
What is Farmers Day?
Farmers Day is celebrated every year on October 12! The profession of farming began around 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock as hunter/gatherers settled down and started to plant their own food. In short, farming is one of the oldest jobs around. So let‘s take a moment to give some love to all the farmers who work tirelessly to feed us year round.
When is Farmers Day 2022?
Farmers Day in the U.S is observed on October 12 every year. Other countries celebrate the holiday on different days, with India and Pakistan holding large celebrations in December.
History of Farmers Day
Agriculture is one of the world’s oldest and vital professions. Farmers have remained one of the highest contributors to economic growth while consistently feeding the people who rely on their goods. Originally referred to as Old Farmer’s Day, National Farmers Day was cultivated to celebrate the hard work farmers put into growing their crops. The date of October 12 came about as it lands at the end of the traditional harvesting period, allowing farmers to participate in festivities, which can sometimes last the entirety of the month. Additionally, every three years, the Harvest Moon will fall in early October, preceding and leading up to National Farmer’s Day on the 12th.
In fact, in Loranger, Louisiana, there’s an Old Farmer’s Day Festival which celebrates and showcases the traditions and methodologies of farming before it became the modernized and scientific venture it is today. Usually, in states in the northern US, the first frost would occur in the beginning of October, if not the middle, requiring many farmers to harvest their crops beforehand to prepare for the winter. Now, because of scientific developments in farming techniques, the traditional growing period can be prolonged to increase yield and profit, part of the reasoning why National Farmer’s Day tend to extend its celebrations in rural areas to National Farmer’s Month.

In unserer neuen Serie möchten wir über die Schattenseiten der Milchindustrie sprechen. In der ersten Folge geht es um spezielle Hochleistungsrassen, die für die landwirtschaftliche "Nutzung" optimiert wurden, aber dadurch zahlreiche Probleme und typische Krankheiten aufweisen! 😰
Weltweit stammen etwa 90% der erzeugten Kuhmilch von Kühen der Rasse "Holstein Friesian" bzw. "Red Holstein". Diese geht auf deutsche Aussiedler im 17. Jahrhundert zurück, die ihre norddeutschen Rinder mit in die neue Heimat nahmen. Ab den 1960er Jahren setzte sich die neue Rasse dann auch in DE durch.
Die große Beliebtheit dieser Kühe liegt in ihrer enormen "Milchleistung" begründet, die im Schnitt bei 10.000 Litern / Jahr liegt. Im Vergleich dazu gab im Jahr 1950 eine durchschnittliche Kuh nur 2.480 Liter. Dieser enorme Zuwachs wird auch durch optimierte Futtermischungen ermöglicht.
Typische Krankheiten der HF-Kühe sind: 1.: Mastitis (Euterentzündung) 2.: Ketose (durch Energiemangel / Unterernährung) 3.: Klauenprobleme 4.: Milchfieber (Hypokalzämie) 5.: Fruchtbarkeitsprobleme 6.: Labmagenverlagerung 7.: Metritis (Gebärmutterentzündung).
Neben der Holstein-Kuh werden in DE weitere Rassen eingesetzt, die aber weniger optimiert wurden und deshalb weniger typische Krankheiten aufweisen. Hier sind das Zweinutzungsrind "Fleckvieh" zu nennen, welches rund 7.000 Liter Milch / Jahr "produziert". Im Alpenraum werden zudem die kleineren "Braunvieh"- Kühe gezüchtet, welche von der Milchleistung bei mind. 7.200 Litern liegen.
Fazit: Der Mensch hat aus dem Auerochsen eine regelrechte Milchmaschine gezüchtet und verkauft Kuhmilch dann noch als "natürliches Lebensmittel"! Wir sollten erkennen, dass wir keine Kuhmilch und auch keine, zu Milchmaschinen degradierten, Hochleistungskühe brauchen! 😎🌱

Deadass thought that was my cow for a second. Scared me half to death. But it's parker brown, not black.
But! I wonder that too! But I think it may have been Belphie's two-tone that came first, as although two-toned cattle are more common in horned breeds, polled breeds are more common in general and are generally solid colored. Think Limousin, Angus, Charolais, Braunvieh, and Red Poll. We just see more spotted or mottled cattle because they're prettier! Actually, if Belphie's hair were designed after any cow, I would say the Belgian Blue would be closest in coat style.
I was wondering if Belphie's dual hair color came first or when they thought it would be fun since his Familiar is a Bull and they tend to get two color pattern

Cow Appreciation Day 
Dress up as a cow and forego the beef by heading to Chick Fil A on Cow Appreciation Day for a free (and cow-free) chicken entrée. Cows will thank you!
1995 marked the beginning of the cow revolution, when herds of beef cattle everywhere decided to take a stand for the future of the bovine race. Far more intelligent than the others, Heff R. Jones (now known as Eaton Birds) took his limited grasp of his owner’s language and painted “EAT MOR CHIKIN” on a billboard.
With this daring move he set in motion a movement among cows everywhere, to encourage us to eat more chicken, so we wouldn’t be eating them. Cow Appreciation Day commemorates Heff (I’m sorry, we mean Mr. Birds) and everything he’s done for cattlekind.
Learn about Cow Appreciation Day
Cow Appreciation Day is a day that has been designed to raise awareness about cows and appreciate everything that they do! You will see some weird things going on during Cow Appreciation Day. A lot of people dress up like cows for free food, and that’s just the start of it! So, we hope that you have a spare cow suit handy. We are reminded of all of the amazing products that cows bring our way, and a lot of people like to milk the occasion. Sorry for the awful pun…
History of Cow Appreciation Day
Alright, it’s a fun story, but ultimately Cow Appreciation Day was the clever brainchild of the Chik-Fil-A company, creating the story of the daring cow to encourage people to skip their favorite burger joint, and come to their local Chik-Fil-A instead. Little did people know that indulging in this bit of fanciful celebration would introduce them to a fundamental truth about fast food.
There isn’t anything quite as delicious as chicken. Chicken can be prepared any number of ways, but there’s a rich, juicy, light flavor it brings to the table that just beats out beef on every front. Rich marinades, the delicious taste yet healthful taste of grilled chicken, or wings dipped in Barbeque Sauce, however you like it it’s impossible to deny that chicken is an incredibly versatile meat.
Also… It’s not beef, so that makes Eaton happy, and saves cows everywhere one more day. Speaking from a health perspective, chicken is also immeasurably healthier for you, and has been shown to not be a harbinger of quite as many carcinogens as you find in beef. Isn’t that thoughtful? By saving themselves, the cows are saving you. That’s what you call a win-win proposition!
How to celebrate Cow Appreciation Day
Well, this is the simplest thing ever honey! You just find your way down to your local Chik-Fil-A and indulge in a great tasting meal made with tender juicy chicken. While you’re at it, dress up as a cow and you’ll win yourself a free entrée. You might say that Eaton and his crew have been working hard with Chik-Fil-A to make the prospect of eating their feathered (ahem) friends a lot more enticing. Children get free sandwiches, adults get free entrees, and everyone goes away happy on Chicken Eatin… We mean Cow Appreciation Day!
There are a lot of different ways that you can celebrate Cow Appreciation Day. Why not hug a cow? If you are lucky enough to live close to a cattle farm, why not pay a visit? You can spend some time close with these animals, showing your appreciation for them in the best possible day! Of course, we are sure that cows probably don’t know that there is a day just for them, but you can make them feel like this is the case by giving them some much-deserved attention.
Another great way to celebrate Cow Appreciation Day is to celebrate and support local dairy farmers. Why not take a trip to your local farm shop and make a purchase from there instead of buying your groceries from a branded supermarket? You can also go out of your way to make sure that the local farmer in your area knows how much you appreciate all of their hard work and effort. After all, it is always good to make people feel nice, no matter the date or occasion, right?
Of course, you can spend some time finding out more about these animals. Did you know that cows are very social? This is another reason why you should make them feel appreciated on this date and pay them a visit. Cows are emotional and social creatures. They form tight bonds with their family and friends. This is especially the case when it comes to the relationship between calves and their mothers. If they are separated, they will show extreme distress.
There are a lot of other interesting facts about cows as well. Did you know that they can create a monumental 125 pounds of saliva every day? That is pretty insane, right? While cows don’t actually have four stomachs, as some people believe, they have four chambers in their stomach. These are the abomasum, omasum, reticulum, and rumen chambers, and they all help with breaking down the tough grass that they digest. This is why they produce a lot of salivae!
Another fact is that cows create a lot more milk when they are happier. This is something that has been concluded in a study, showing that cattle have lived a happier life, creating more nutritious milk that has a greater amount of calcium. This probably should not come as much of a surprise. After all, as humans, we tend to be more productive when we are happier!
