Curious Minds Want to Know
 

Was driving through horse country today and wondered why horses live on farms and not on ranches, like cattle and sheep.:shrug:

Probably the same reason people park on driveways and drive on parkways.

And while we are being curious... why do some things burn up and some things burn down?

And, how high is up? That was the title of on old Three Stooges movie.

For me I think too much this is.

Maybe it's a regional thing. In the East we tend to have farms. In the southwest the tendency may be more toward ranches. I also think thoroughbreds tend to come from farms and quarter horses come from ranches.

Because
 

We eat animals that come from ranches but not from farms.

not so everywhere
 

Here in Ohio, we eat farm animals :)

really
 

Which ones do you eat because cows and sheep come from ranches not farms.

Remember now ckickens are not animals in Ohio.

how about pigs?
 

And in which states are chickens animals?

Poor little pigs
 

In New England most of the animals are chickens I've HERD.

It has something to do with ALTITUDE........:D

Hi Fellow Ohiogirl,

And if that steak is a really, really good one. Practically spoon-fed before....before....welllll....you know....sometimes we even know what name that steak used to answer to.

And if we are not connected to a side of beef that we knew when it was still out walking around, we sure know how to flirt with the butcher to get the absolutely best cuts.....or is that just me??? Ohhhhh, sometimes I just say too much......

Another little thing about us carnivorous Ohio Girls......I was a Miami U girl and back in those days Playboy did an article about college girls in various places. Miami U girls got a mention.....but.....but......(sigh)....do ya know what it was for! Geez! Miami U girls supposedly were known for having really good......TEETH!!!

My grandmother didn't have a ranch, but she had a farm and they ate their chickens, cows, and pigs. Didn't have any sheep and didn't eat the horses. I always had the conception that a farm was a small thing relatively and a ranch was a huge monstrosity.

Yeah..but why did they cross the road?

well, when you're a carnivore . . .
 

you need good teeth to chew all that meat.

My 2 daughters and 1 of my sons-in-law went to Miami U. I know it well. Great school.

It was...

to prove to the possum that it could be done.
