canada set to slaughter 19 million chickens, turkeys, and other farmed poultry.
roasted fowl
first it was mad cow, now avian flu, how are the prices of beef and poultry being affected?
This happened in the state of Delaware in the mid 1980s. They slaughtered millions of chickens. 9The avreage farm raises about 80 to 100000 broilers at a time)
As far as I recall, the effect was minimal. beefprices have skyrocketed more from the atkins demand rather than hoof and mouth or bSE.
This too shall pass
eAT MORE LAMB, make me work harder
wish i could get access to good lamb over here fm, most of the lamb products which can be found on guam come from new zealand.
are ther no Guamish lambs? No farms? Man, Id be over there in a heartbeat. Im a blue water guy at heart and most of my boating is in some very dicey Northern seas in Fundy and around Nova Scotia and Gulf of Maine. Nice but it aint the tropics. Now if I could mail my herd over there. Wonder if UPS delivers?
I'd watch out for that Kiwi lamb...at least the aussies are tellin' me they do funny things to them when raising them
people here raise mostly pigs, and for the filipinos goats. some keep carabao's
carabao
jer, we get oz beef products here too. i don't even want to know what the aussie's do with their beef.
pueo,
I spent time in both oz and nz - they both made fun of each other's sheep farming populations...
...and the sheep even deeper down?
Um, I choose not to answer that on the grounds I may incriminate my country.
Adrian,
The jokes I heard involved cliffs and barbed wire fences...but they all come down to the same idea...and I laughed with all the joke tellers...both country are such good places. You're lucky.

I thought those rumours were all about the Scots. I mean, how many times can an expert golfer lose a ball?
Jaysus, Gov'nor, ya don't expect a man his age to catch sheep, do ya?
