strawberries and cow horns
Point one: here on eastern Long Island we have the only commercial bd/organic strawberry patch. I have just learned that we were the only farm to even have strawberries locally. The chemical guys never had any fruit. So you can take your voodoo to the bank... point two: it was always my impression that the horn wored on the silica or the manure the same way it wored on the cow. The refined digestive process of the cows four stomachs is further enhanced by the chewing of cud and during that process the earthiness is rayed back in by the horn structure[which arises from skin, the most sensitive and largest organ on any creature]. It is via the horn that we get this wonderful manure from the cow and in bd we have capitalized on this effect for 500/501...sstorch ___ BDNow mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can unsubscribe or change your options at: http://lists.envirolink.org/mailman/listinfo/bdnow
Re: Cow Horns
Hi Eric, The conformation of cow's horns is related to their diet, the cosmic forces contained in it. These forces come from the rear of the cow and are related to Moon, Mercury and Venus The horn is a reflector that reflects back what enters it. While attached to the animal this activity is reflected back into the digestive system. Other things that can change the direction of a growing horn are nicks or cuts however sustained. The horn usually grows away from the cut. When the horn is used for Biodynamic purposes the activity of the layer of soil they are buried in is reflected back into the material contained within the horn so supersaturating it with the activity of the time, usualy either summer or winter. This we are then able to use in the persuit of our biodynamic method. Happy travelling.

Other than the good hospitality and food we received the most remarkable thing about the place was one member of their cattle herd of Shetlands. She was 13 years old and had given birth last year. What was unusual about her was her horns one was curved up the other was curved down. The question I have in my mind is what do members on this list think about the capacities for such an animal for tuning in Universal forces in balance? Can anyone else comment on cow horns tuning in Universal forces and their relationships to the preps 500 501? Drawing of course on your years of experience.

horns
I know the topic came up awhile back, but SStorch's post about 'sheath material' struck a chord. Before we moved back to the farm, my neighbor ran some of his cows over here. They were old and even once I had my own herd, his insisted on coming 'home' to calve. A few, as they aged, died here. When I could find them, I'd let the fire ants clean up the skulls and I'd haul them to the house. If you've ever handled a cow skull, you know the horn sheath is actually just a loose covering (after the cow doesn't need it anymore). The horn material inside is normally much like a large sponge. When the horn is alive, the sponge is blood-filled and actively moving heat and wastes through the top of the cow's head, but once the horn is dead, the material calcifies and looks like a hardened piece of coral that actually goes the length of the cow's sinus cavity. (Or so it seems to me). My question is, would 4 - 6 horns from these old, wild (and hopefully happy) cows be enough to work with the horn manure? I'd prefer them over anything my vet or a slaughterhouse would provide, I'd think. And, if I asked my neighbors for their dead cow's horns, they'd think I was either doing something highly profitable (artistically), or something involving witchcraft.

200,000 + horns
- Original Message - From: Allan Balliett The A.P. figures are always thrown around as something impressive. This is neither here nor there, really, but it does fall on a reporter to investigate their facts. It seems that this 2,000,000 acres of BD in Australia is unsubstantiated. Allan I have just been informed by one of the AP disciples that the group puts down well in excess of 200,000 horns of 500 each year. You can do the sums on that lot. He must have some big operators out there somewhere! It seems pretty much a secret society deal with AP in total control ( he also OWNS the Demeter trade mark for all of Australia) Our BDFGAA (Cheryl Kemp) has 0ver 600 members - predominantly horticulture and viticulture but gaining numbers of broadacre farmers - wheat , sheep and cattle so you would probably be able to substantiate the 2 million ?? Incidentally the informant above says he had three or four wonderful years then a gradual decline of productivity and has now (after about 8 years) hit the wall, hay cuts down to almost nothing, poor animal health, no feed so the cattle are away on someone else's place, soil colour and structure gone, its not working anymore! We had some posts from Hugh Lovel on the list about this last year ( or maybe further back ) Hope this is of interest Lloyd Charles

Thanks for reporting this, Lloyd. Unfortunately, all I can infer from this information is that A.P's group buries 200,000 500 horns each year. Inferring any thing else from that would be a reach. I am interested in hearing how many acres Chery's group has under BD management. Incidentally the informant above says he had three or four wonderful years then a gradual decline of productivity and has now (after about 8 years) hit the wall, hay cuts down to almost nothing, poor animal health, no feed so the cattle are away on someone else's place, soil colour and structure gone, its not working anymore! We had some posts from Hugh Lovel on the list about this last year ( or maybe further back ) Hope this is of interest Lloyd Charles This, of course, seems like a failure of the overseers and not a condemnation of BD itself. I'd like to hear more about this. I believe Glenn used to talk about this also. Thanks again, Lloyd, -Allan
shipping BD horns across borders
Dear List, Has anyone experience with sending bd horns across the border from US into Canada.? Is there any restriction? If so, a way around it? cheers, Michael
