Lennie loves soft things so George promised him that if he was good, he would get to tend the rabbits on the farm. “...When we get the coupla acres I can let you tend the rabbits all right. ‘Specially if you remember as good as that,” George said to Lennie (Steinbeck 15). The first time the story of the farm is told in the book, Lennie is told he can tend the rabbits. Because he is told this, every time the farm is referenced, Lennie starts to talk about the rabbits and how he gets to tend them. Lennie constantly associates the rabbits with the dream farm because the soft things are what he wants most in life, but he also wants the farm so he can have them and be with George. “George came out of the brush quietly and the rabbit scuttled back into Lennie’s brain.” (Steinbeck 102). As George comes to Lennie, the rabbit disappears, signaling the disappearance of their dream. As the book nears its end, George tells Lennie the story of the farm once more, putting Lennie in a happy place thinking of the rabbits. When the story closes, George tells Lennie to look out and imagine the farm, and the gun sounds, Lennie and George’s American dream has

Lennie offers George the opportunity to lay plans, give advice, and, in general, be in charge. Without Lennie, George would be just like the other hands, but with Lennie, George has a strong sense of responsibility. Their dream also sets George apart from the others because it means he and Lennie have a future and something to anticipate. Unlike Lennie, George does not see their dream in terms of rabbits; instead, he sees it in a practical way. Their farm will be one where they can be independent and safe and where he will not have to worry about keeping track of Lennie 's mistakes. They can be secure and in charge of their own lives. However, Lennie is the one who adds the enthusiasm because George never really believed they could swing this farm of their own. He mostly uses the story to give Lennie something Lennie

alfalfa is for the rabbits, an' I take a sack and get it all fulla

This is because it is high in tannin. Tannin is a naturally occurring compound that is very slow to digest. This slow digestion releases gasses slowly from the gut of the cow, greatly reducing the risk of bloat. This feature is great because beef producers can graze their cattle on the after feed, or even before it is cut. Also because of this, many people will plant sainfoin in a grass mix as CRP. Although it is more expensive seed than alfalfa, it costs less to produce because it needs considerably less water and practically no herbicides or pesticides. The lowere cost to produce means the hay can be sold cheaper than alfalfa hay, gaining the attention of many horse people in Montana and Idaho. There is no evidence that it would help, but logic suggests this hay would be good to feed to horses prone to colic. Some research is currently being done to test this

But in the story they represent the hopes and dreams of the future for the ranchers. “No… you tell it. It ain’t the same if I tell it. Go on… George. How I get to tend the rabbits.” (pg.14) In this section one of the main characters George is talking to Lennie about how in the future they will live on a small farm with animals. Lennie is a man of great size but has the mind of a child. “Let’s have different color rabbits, George.” (pg. 16) This is again talking about the bright future and many opportunities that will come to them later on in life. The rabbits are a symbol of hopes and dreams and what will come for them in the near

The rabbits are his dreams and hopes of which he wants to achieve, but they don’t necessarily come to him. Most of the times throughout this book you see Lennie bring up the rabbits, and when he does he’s trying to be hopeful that all will end well. The same point comes up later on page 69, “”The rabbits we’re gonna get, and I get to tend ‘em, cut grass an’ give ‘em water, an’ like that.” ” This was told by Lennie on what he was gonna do when him and George could finally afford the land. It shows his viewpoint on how the rabbits were all he really had wanted in life and how he just wanted to take care of

Cows are herbivores, born to graze on grasses, clover, and whatever other delicious treats sprout from fertile fields. But grasses are neither rich in nutrients nor easy to digest. This is where the cow’s famous four stomachs and chewing the cud come into play. The physical breakdown of grasses by the teeth, followed by the bacterial breakdown in the rumen, eventually makes the nutrients available for absorption later down the line.

Have you ever wondered how rabbits lived? How they get food or sleep or live? This book tells you about that and it also tells of an adventure of a couple rabbits trying to find a new Warren.

Instead of feeding cattle and chicken with what grow naturally (grass and grain). Chicken and cattle are fed with antibiotics (which forces viruses/bacteria to mutate into something more deadly to humans), growth hormone (Roxarsone), animal by- products (blood, feces, processed feathers) and “rendered meat” (even from “downer” cows, which are not able to walk and at high risk of BSE.) The objective of feeding animals with these ingredients is to ensure the food is affordable to everyone, high in nutritional values and disease-free. However, the article strongly criticizes the costly price humans pay from feeding animals with these inorganic/ridiculous materials. “In 2000, FDA concluded that Roxarsone had spawned drug resistance; and FDA had identified some of the rendered meat being fed to cattle is contaminated with mad cow disease. Consequently, humans are

Once again deer (White tailed deer) enjoy grazing on clovers. In fact, White tailed deer love clovers so much it is in some deer feed. It takes up a large majority of the ingredients as well. Other animals like the Cotton tail rabbi, Red foxes, Woodchucks, Marmots and groundhogs eat clovers as well. Clovers are great

Through the 1970’s there was a huge oil shortage given circumstances with OAPEC, it caused gas prices to be expensive and lines to be long at the gas pumps. This turned out to be better for Rabbits because Toyotas are known for good economy, unlike the convertibles that Nelson had purchased. This caused another conflict in Rabbit and Nelsons relationship once again.

He now roams freely through the green pasture, smelling the fresh air seeing the blue skies, and enjoying the warm sun, occasionally going to the pond to cool off. If he wanders too far I ring out loud and notify the farmer where he is. I find it fun to roam through the pasture, seeing the grass whether it be green, dead, or onion grass, my friends, and all the critters crossing the farm. 139 has become a friend to one rabbit in particular. The rabbit runs around 139’s feet and leaves carrots and other vegetables behind. 139 happily eats the fresh delicious vegetables that have been left behind, but little does he know they’ve been stolen from the farmer’s

Rabbits are quite adapted to eating their own poo. In addition to their regular feces, rabbit excrete specialized feces called cecotropes. This soft stool provides nutrition, and they eat this excretion directly from their

The way that the candy is treated by the bacteria in the rumen yields the same resources that corn would as it is broken down. Not only can cattle consume candy and make it beneficial, they can also consume other unwanted products that are useless to us like unsold or outdated produce, damaged foods such as flour and cereal, and believe it or not, restaurant grease. With cattle have a sorted stomach, it makes it possible for them to be able
