Doe, Raymond and Me
One day, over two years ago, a strange creature appeared in our back yard. A little white deer peeked her head around a tree, like a shy preschooler searching for a playmate. Our first meeting was tempered with a gentle approach and soft words, but as there was no trust she disappeared abruptly like a specter, leaving us wondering if what we saw was just an apparition. Over the next months, other neighbors reported sightings of the White Deer, describing their encounters with the en”deer”ing creature and soon our little town of Raymond, Wisconsin had a pet and mascot.

Why zebras have stripes, and point out that people are often different from those around them, too.
Zebras are the only large land mammals with stripes. Why do they have these white and black lines, and why don't other animals? There are several theories about why zebras have such bold markings, but scientists have yet to find a definitive answer. Although we don't know exactly why zebras evolved their distinctive stripes, we do know that many other species share this unique patterning for different reasons—and that humans also share some similarities with these striped animals.

How to Manage Your Cattle This Monsoon in 5 Easy Ways
It's time to get ready to plunge into the water, get your hands muddy in the mud pool, and row your own small paper boats across the nearby streams of water. We're all prepared to enjoy one of the most wonderful seasons as the monsoon approaches. However, while some locations are celebrating, the remainder are experiencing a downpour. When monsoon season arrives, the environment is vulnerable to disasters like floods, which severely harm people, plants, and animals. The animals, particularly the cattle that travel and live in open fields, must also take preventative precautions and additional care during the rainy season, just like we do for ourselves. This exposes them to deadly infections. As the temperature drops, farmers start to consider how the next weather changes may impact the health, production, and efficiency of their cattle. The dairy producers start making plans and gathering the supplies they'll need to look for and safeguard their animals. Animals need to be closely watched at this time because they have to keep their bodies warm enough to withstand the cold weather. Since the temperature drops significantly below the lowest temperature limit as a result of the heavy rainfall, animals get stressed.
