"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. - Genesis1:29 Holy Bible (KJV)



I made a decision from when i first started raising cattle. I decided that i would be as hands on as possible. In other words i was the herdsman, i had no hired hands. I learnt from practical experience and suffered all the cow kicks and head butts, falls, mistakes and near misses that were required to gain mastery of the cattle.

One of the main issues that we tropical cattle farmers face is the issue of dry season feeding. Cattle farmers face this problem in temperate regions as well when their winter season comes in.

Even if you have established pastures , in the height of the scorching dry season, every alternative source of fodder is crucial. Both to your cattle's welfare, and your pocket

So your cows are hungry and you look left and right and there is nothing to eat ..so look UP then, you might find something for your hungry animals. Before i learnt about these trees i used to have to source for cassava peels, and sometimes have to plant corn for silage. But so far this dry season i haven't purchased any cassava peels. The combination of Camelsfoot pods (see below) and dry Brachiaria pastures is satisfying my cattle well.


Cattle feeding under Mango tree





Trees can be a very useful source of fodder for your dry season farming. In fact some trees are so useful that i will recommend planting them interspersed with pasture grass. This system of trees and pastures is called Silvopasture.

I will talk about some trees that are useful to us here in Nigeria and that can make your life a whole lot easier, keeping your cattle in good body condition during the dry season. There are more of them but i will talk about three.



1. Mango Tree. The Mango tree is a useful source of feed for cattle at the height of the dry season. They readily consume ripe and unripe fruits (including the seed) as well as leaves.. I must say my jaw dropped the first time i saw a cow chew and swallow an entire mango. Waste of mango can be used for making cattle feed commercial. Major waste like mango seed kernel is a good source of carbohydrate. Of course mangoes are highly favoured by humans as well so you can go for the leaves which are plentiful so as not to offend your neighbours. (Remember folks we are practising ETHICAL Cattle farming here) Too much of mango leaf is bad for cows though so make sure it is not their sole feed...

was built by him for pleasure and multiplying the universe in a holy (marriage) and expensive way, but now it's cheaper than you thought. no more respect for the media that brought into this world


AND YOU ARE HERE JUSTIFYING FORNICATION AND ADULTERY!

No o .. i am saying being attracted to a woman does not mean that you are sexually addicted.. it means say hi.. get her no. and if you feel shes ok marry her. Our urges are God designed is all im saying

Since you focused on sexual sin i would say the sexual urge andsexual pleasure are inbuilt from God .. thats what has made us grow from 2 to billions

why are single balls in danger today..one guy cut off one of his own ..thi dirty rapist almost had one of hia squeezed till it popped.

That see through dress is probably the reason they backtracked

Baba you see the matter too?

lol.. err well that's just one ..that guy was just shipping and sharing sheep like a father christmas importer.. i will correct it now thanks

Sheep need to be shared annually, otherwise their wool continues to grow to the point where it’s hard to tell they are still ship. That’s what happened to this poor ship in Australia, whose wool hadn’t been sheared in 5 years.

From the assaults on English language in this first paragraph, i can conclude that this was written by a Nigerian blogger.

The major problem of African Nation is lack of good leadership. In Nigeria, Buhari has so underperformed to the extent that GEJ is now desirable.
