There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hope he had good insurance or he could be out of business.

Brings back memories of my Indiana days. Used to ride the Ohio countryside. Many, many pig farms there. You could smell that wonderful "farm smell" from over five miles away. One of the unique things from the Ohio countryside. :thumbup::thumbup:

Among mammals 41,700,000 cows and calves were killed for food in 2000, as well as 115,200,000 pigs and 4,300,000 sheep, for a total of 161,200,000. These stats are also expected to continue to rise. Thus, the total number of all animals killed for food in 2000 was 9.7 billion.
[h=3]USDA's official number of animals killed for food[/h]
So those 5,000 are 0.004340277777777778% of the number killed for the food in 2000. It might impact local pricing, but should not impact anything more than that.

It's not really about the numbers... nojoke
I've seen animals that had to be put down after barn fires. :yikes:
You cannot feel sorry enough for them; the horror of those deaths is unimaginable! :shocked:

Animals and Fires
Range fires are equally bad Bob ….. even if the rancher is able to get the animals away from the fire and, seemingly, out of harms way. The ground remains hot for a long time after a serious fire and the mistake too many make is letting them return to burned out pastures too soon. We had a bad fire about five years ago a few miles north of us and several ranchers made this mistake …. you would think a cloven hooves of a cow could withstand a lot. However, cows are actually pretty "tender footed" and once the hoof is burned it will slough off and the animal will never recover. And you are right, it is a sad sight.
All the best …. Ann
