I wonder if you have online shopped for what I online shopped for?
Things sure have changed in our Ag industry - and the days I used to spend at the sale barn have really changed - so ..... I did the Online option.....
Ta da!! My most recent Online purchase!! She doesn't have a name yet - I am just getting to know her. But - I usually go to the sale barns, Walk through the cattle pens, choose the lots I think I might like. Then when they come into the sale ring I can judge their temperament, the way they try to attack ( or not) the ring masters.....
Online that's a little different. But I tried to assess everything just by watching her on a video - and I think We did alright! She's a little skittish - but she's not very old, and ran with a large group... so she is getting to know her knew pasture-mates...
although I will tell you when I brought the horses in to the other corrals her nose went up and her eyes got big - I am sure she thought they were her brothers from another mother!!
Course the horses didn't think much of her at all!!
Have a great day!!
I have been on line shopping more and more as the years past because in my opinion the stores suck big time! of course I do live in the country by small towns that have little variety and I do not like to go to Little Rock all that much anymore. I order through amazon for anything from air filters for the A/C to face lotion and coffee pods. I order all of my sewing supplies on line from a various amount of places and yarn too. In fact about the only local store I go into are grocery stores and occasionally Hobby Lobby and Lowe's. I'm just not a shopper and have been glad that there is so much available on line.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, yes, WAY too much online shopping!! Especially fabric which I DID NOT NEED!! I can't imagine buying a cow or any other live animals..YIKES! Amazon makes things too easy but I don't like them (or actually the head dude) so I really try to limit my buying there and refuse to be a prime member. So how was she delivered?
ReplyDeleteLOL!! What a changing world we live in, Alycia. Hoping Cow gets used to her new surrounding soon!
ReplyDeleteWow - DH threatened to buy our last big appliance online but we found one locally (in the days before shopping in person restrictions). Good luck with your new little lady - hope she gets a cool name.
ReplyDeleteYou could name her Linney (or O'Liney) On Line, get it? LOL
ReplyDeleteHow much does a calf cost? Just wondering...
I cannot even imaging online shopping for a cow!!!! How does that even work?
ReplyDeleteOh, you had me going. I thought you were going to talk about fabric shopping. An animal? Wow, never knew you could buy one online. What till I share this with my grandson, he will get a kick out of it as he loves animals. In an urban area, I don't see myself having to worry about the things you are.
ReplyDeleteNow that is pretty cool! She looks sweet! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteShe so cute, I’m a pushover for young animals! I’m a city girl even though I live ranch (and oil/coal) country!
ReplyDeleteShe looks sweet; what a different world we're all adapting to...
ReplyDeleteGreat purchase, but the shipping must have been outrageous! :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather had a herd of cows. We'd name them, then a few years later, we'd eat them. She's a cutie.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine buying a large animal online and figuring out how it will be delivered. When I worked at the post office, I remember before Easter, the shipments of chickies and duckies and little rabbits. Those were noisy nights at work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I didn't think you meant the gate! My, oh, my ... what's next? Elephants?
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I have not purchased cattle online. LOL Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the allure of the online shopping here. But I'm wondering about what your delivery choices were? Next day was probably not an option?
