If you tell us about your small herd of anything and how it's doing - we really need to know where it's located to either appreciate your post or be concerned.
Thank you.

Farmerwilly2, you make this request sound like an invasion of privacy or something. Sometimes people ask serious questions and expect fast answers, especially regarding animals; it would help to know their location. I need to know if we have similar poisonous plants, similar parasites, similar weather factors. Trust me when I say that my post was meant to (hopefully) HELP, not cause people to feel anyone was pressuring them to give information they aren't comfortable sharing, and I think you know that . Now I'm really done.......

Yes darlin, I know that, and you are absolutely correct, can't give meaningful information if the users location is necessary. I just can't get too worked up about it somehow. If they want to post it that's fine, maybe we can help. If they don't want to for whatever reason, that's fine by me also, just don't expect the best information. (Psssst, Just between you and me and the dust bunnies under my desk here, I'm in the Cynthiana, Ky. greater metro area. Ag. zone 6. Eastern Standard time zone. Size 13 boot. Paranoid, nahh, not when you're well armed)

Well why is it that folks think of California as having nothing Palm Trees, Movie Stars, and Swimming Pools??? I live at the other end of the state (Redwood Trees, Rednecks, and the Ocean) as I have in my location since day one here on the forum. There are no movie stars (unless they make a movie up here) and I have seen a copule of Palm Trees in the area. Latitude N 40*-48'-97" / Longitude W 124*-00'-11".

Farmerwilly2, no paranoia up here on the hilltop for this heavily armed Marine Corps Veteran..

Maybe some posters are in the Federal Homesteader Witness Location Protection Program?? That might be the reason for not posting their location!!

Isn't snow what you put in your drinks - sort of like shaved ice - right?
