AlphaSimR Certificate

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: edX Verified Certificate for Breeding Programme Modelling with AlphaSimR.

Updated my phone to iOS 26. The new look feels like that of Windows Vista which was released in 2007.

Have you been to there? I worked in a stray dog spaying and castration project there. Beautiful place.

Are there Gyr cows in Canada?

Have you ever seen a horse “naturally” allowing a human to ride on its back? But horse riding is completely ethical in your point of view. To shackle its head with leather ropes and putting a metal bit in its mouth and making it run/jump in dangerous conditions. Pure Ethnocentrism/moral hypocrisy.

Even prior to my vet career, I was into livestock farming. I have observed that bulls and rams exhibit a natural inclination to fight. In this relatively benign sport, humans exploit this natural tendency. This form of animal fighting represents the least abusive among all such activities imho.

Any direct or indirect interaction between humans and animals can be an animal abuse in that context.
This is a case of animal abuse if horse riding or having a pet is an animal abuse. That’s all.

This does not constitute animal abuse. Bulls engage in headbutting to propel each other over a line. Individuals restraining the bulls with ropes prevent them from striking other body parts besides the head. This ensures the safety of both the bulls and the people involved.

Which breed are the white ones? Texel?

Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?
