well i like cows because its the most plentiful.. we have 70 cows here so its not going to run out.. cow is good for onion garlic cabbage whatever

pig is good for leek, it stays in the soil better, thus giving a longer lasting effect

hen has the most nutrients in it but here you would have to buy it

and horse is best for fruits and berries, N:P:K just right when it has matured in compost

What sort of cows are you working with. :o

70 you say. :lol:

Most of my experiences are of jersey and fresians. Milking anywere from 50 upto 350. I was one of the first to use the computerized feeding system, there's the computer bit. I did a lot of A.I. in the early days. ;)

Then tried my hand with pigs. Ranging from 100 - 950 sows. Also taking up A.I. in the early days, around 1973. :o

Do you A.I. your cows or is this classed as non-organic. :huh:

Now there's a debatable point Mr. Simian Dangler. Are cows that are "treated" to A.I. classified as organic or non-organic produce or does this only apply tp any happy outcome? ;)

Brings up a very salient point. "Perhaps it was the lack of BULL***T?" :D

This is known to be one of the best organic fertilizers, ***T is the crude word.

Apart from bull beef herds, were the male of the species is not castrated for growth purposes, e.g. D.L.W.G.

The bull is actually a rare commodity and so it's by products. Most male offspring are reared for the veal market as there carcases tend to be on the tough side.

Only the very best, usually served by A.I. are kept, for breeding stock.

As the bull consumes larger amounts of nutrition, the digestive system takes selected vitamins and minerals to increase the amount of, excuse me, sperm. The excess is unused and produces a high quality manure.

Of course there is a large population of male cattle roaming around, but these are off breeds that are acceptable for marketing. These animals are always castrated and there fore do not eat or produce the sort of dung rich in nitrates and phosphates.

Which brings me to my conclusion.

That I am talking a load of uncastrated bull.

or b*lls :lol:

My next piece shall be on the reproductive cycle of the pig. :o

All here 9a.m. Monday sharp. :D
