On Friday, 7th, November, my cow gave birth to a heifer. When I arrived home from work, my children were excited as they told me how it was in the process of calving though it had refused to lay down as should be while calving. After inquiring, I learned that it had been standing for sometime with the fore legs of the calve and head protruding from the back. When I saw the calve which had started to come out but now could no longer do so due to the standinding posture, I realised I had to assist the cow to calve. I asked my eldest son who is now 13 to bring a piece opf rope from the house so that I could tie the cow to one side of the zero grazzing pen. After tethering it, I held the protiruding fore legs of the moving out calve. I slowly methodically pulled the calf and out it came. The animal had a sac with fluids hanging from its birth canal, which helps in pulling out the placenta. Within 20 minutes, it fell to the ground to my reliefe since placenta removal is a very crucial. This is because, it may kill an animal if it fails to come out. If also it comes out and accidentally there is no opne nerby, it may feed on it which will make it reduce milk yield. There was alot of joy at home because now milk had come and we have an additional cow. What surprised me was after a week, when I went to the pen, I found an object hanging from its birth canal. I could see it was part of placenta which I hand believed to have come out. I started asking my self questions and giving myself answers to questions which had failed to get answers before then. For the cow had been very dull since it had given birth. Its appetite had drastically reduced and this was worrying me very much. It dawned on me that when it dropped the placenta, the placenta did not come out fully. Actually, it broke in halve with one part remaining in the womb. The piece which was not too big was bothering it to the point of loosing appetite. It was a miracle that the piece came out. After that the cow has now recovered its appetite.

Keeping of pets is an art that is applied by people who love animals. The love must be instilled in the animal in order to win its trust. One must ensure that the animal is well fed and also ensure he/she understands the emotions of the animal. One must be able to know if the animal is in good health so that you can provide medication. Different animals are kept as pets depending on which is friendly to one. While there are those who like dogs, others like cats, and others like birds. There are those who even keep snakes, lizards, etc. In A sia, there are people who are known to keep elephants as pets. During the time of th Roman Empire, lions were the most favourite for emporers. One may wonder how a feared animal like a lion, cheater or leopard can be tamed by man. Other animals are very wary of man e.g. antelopes yet we hear of people who have endeared themselves to them. All this happens due to the interest people have in differnt animals. The interest leads people to make observations of the animals they like. They also try their tactits like feeding them and other tricks on the animals untill they win their atention. These pets learn how to submit to their masters' instructions who in turn respond by making the animals appreciate what they get as rewards.

The Secrets of Determining the Sex of Your Childre...

You men out there are the sole parties responsible for passing on the genetic codes to determine if a child is male or female. It is a simple fact of biology: the Xx combination of sperm and egg create a female; the Xy are male. All eggs are X. Sperm can be either X or Y. So don't blame us for the child's sex; it's really up to you. Now I'm going to explain in very simplistic terms the ways you can actually turn the odds in favor of your choice of girls or boys.

Now remember - conception takes place in the fallopian tube with the first sperm to reach and penetrate the surface of the egg. Thus conception is the result of a race amongst millions of little swimming sperm to reach the single available egg. (A small percentage women ovulate on both sides simultaneously and have a higher propensity to create fraternal twins).

There are two kinds of sperm: the androsperm or male-genetic-code-carrying version and the genosperm or female. For simplicity let's call the boys Andys and the girls Gennys. Determining the sex of your child has to do with taking advantage of the unique characteristics of each. Here are those we can easily manipulate:

Andys are smaller and swim faster. But like the hare versus the turtle, Andys don't swim as far and don't last very long. Consider them the sprinters.
The Gennys are larger and slower. They can last up to 36 hours in some vaginal environments. Call them the long-distance runners.
Men tend to increase the ratio of Andys to Gennys in the "load" when there has been an extended period of abstinence. This has been shown over the years where the first generation of children after men have been away at war have a higher portion of males than the long-term average. Also certain cultures who only engage in sexual intercourse once a month at the expected time of fertility have very high proportions of males (60+ percent),
Gennys favor more acidic environments. Andys like basic.

What to do? There are five things to remember:

Penetration - The closer the point at which the "load" (the ejaculate) is delivered to the egg the more likely a sprinter (an Andy) will win the race. So guys, to make boys, stick it all the way in when you reach climax.
Timing - If the load is delivered before the egg is available the Andys will die off and the Gennys will be there waiting. Ovulation usually takes place around the 14th day of the cycle (measured by as day one being the start of the menstrual period). Intercourse on the 12th or 13th day will favor Gennys because there will be no egg to fertilize for a day or two. To make boys, make an appointment on the 14th day. If you really want to be specific get a thermometer and wait until her temperature rises slightly.
Viscocity - Vaginal liquids are relatively thick and present an impediment to the Gennys. Andys swim right through these thick liquids. To make boys, make her real happy (several times) prior to delivering the load. Even you "jack-rabbit" 60-second climaxers can make boys if you properly prepare your woman's love canal with some oral or other stimulation. So take your time. (If you must cheat use a little sterile lubricant like K-Y.)
Abstinence - If you do it every day you'll probably make a girl as the "Andy/Genny" ratio in the ejaculate will decline. So save it up a little if you want a boy.
Acid/base - To make girls use the acid-containing douches (vinegar). For boys use baking soda.

If you follow these steps, a study from the mid-70's determined that you will have an 85% chance of getting what you want.
