RE: SEC-S14/W4 - Sustainable Animal Productivity and Environmental Footprint Towards Global Food Security
Whenever I start such posts, I promise myself to not overindulge...
But here I'm again 🙏
As a farmer yourself, your response holds great validity...
As you know, I'm currently experiencing the death of small farms first hand. In my opinion, these are the solution to many problem
Oh, I actually didn't know that. I had a clue, but didn't realize the problem was so severe. I do hope prosperity prevails, and small farms can sustain.
animal and animal welfare is the first step (or even a very good step way, way back) and "the little ones" can solve this best
As Hira pointed out about my knowledge of these subjects. Let me tell you that it's due to my habit of watching and reading extensive material. You won't believe - I've watched countless videos about farm animals, including those in milking industries, automation in milking, and more.
I'm guilty of watching videos of wool shearing also... Tons of em 🫣 it's an art by the way.
So, yes, I do think that animal welfare is of utmost importance. A happy animal means a happy production. There is no other way around it
The village is already thanking me for the sustainability. Okay, okay, that's all I'm going to get out of this little breeding programme. And of course the love of the animals... 🥰
And I'm thankful to you for such thorough remarks. I love it when you talk about your breeding program. It's the enthusiasm that makes anything worth reading. And your love oozes out like anything.
Much love to you and your little buddies 😘😍
Oh, you don't have to feel guilty about that. Quite the opposite: if you don't, you have a huge knowledge gap... ;-)
Yes, shearing is an art in itself. In addition, it's very, very hard, sweaty work.
2024 will definitely be very exciting. Yes, I think I'll put down my teacher label for good and can call myself a shepherd... ;-))
I would rephrase guilty pleasures 😜
That's fancy!
Christiane - the shepherdess
Already loving the sound of it 🙂
Best of luck for 2024
A word between friends... ;-)
I want you to know that coming in first place here is the greatest accolade ever!!!
I'll explain why it doesn't mean shit that the Steemcurator(s) has nothing to do with it at all elsewhere. Today just this much: Robin Hood is the programmer of SteemWorld (which I use daily...).
Perfect score, engaging content, seemingly high quality... Yet deemed unworthy of curation by any number of curators. Won't lie, it felt quite unfair this time.
So, now three exhausting but also very nice Christmas holidays with the family are over. I've already tidied up quite a lot and now have a little time to read your (and other) posts thoroughly.
I see that you have received enough answers, even directly from the team. And all the answers boil down to one thing: (supposedly) pleasing the Steemit team and its small curator teams by customising. Yes, that is one way. It's not mine. In the long run, it leads to exactly what I never wanted: Steem being ruled by " one" reputable curator. All right, that's the game for most people. I'm not going to be a spoilsport, but I still expect people to accept (nothing more) that I don't like the game.
You can ask Hira what plans we had for the "NO community" that never materialised... ;-) Maybe you can have a good laugh then... :-)
Have a nice year-end equalisation,
LG Chriddi
That sounds like a fun gathering. Hope you are not over tired. These family gatherings are the essence of any festivities.
I think I had the idea;
Still, I had to ask :)
Regarding, Hira!
Do you know she is a software engineer. Very qualified. Why would one think we are investing our time here?
Of course, she enjoyed previously and I think I'm enjoying too.
We are settled in far flung areas of an underdeveloped country due to the job natures of our husbands - And with the present situation of economy, we consider it as a side gig! I have always wanted to support my husband a little. I couldn't do much with my professional degree as there are not much of job opportunities here.
Although, it's not and will never be our source of income. But, when I discussed with Hira the situation, she recommended me this platform.
So yes, I enjoy the process but at the same time, I'm investing my time and energy here.
So, I had a right to ask :)
We know each other for years and I knew that you have an exceptional talent for writing. Yet, I told you about Steemit just few months ago. You know why?
Yes, you asked about online gigs. I told you other sources. I mentioned Steemit because after talking to you in person and seeing some of your writing pieces, I could see that you will enjoy writing here.
I also told you that you "can" earn rewards but never make it all about them - the day you that you will stop enjoying and slowly fall into the trap of "the game" as chriddi mentioned.
Now I know that you are not here merely for rewards. I've seen you pouring your heart into every blog you write. I know it hurts when you don't get the expected response. I've been there. I've also questioned curators in my early days, we all have, at some point in our early days.
My experience is, mostly our best work gets the least attention XD. I made peace with that and you will too in due time.
P.S. See you after holidays. Right now, I think I'm getting sick too. 🤒
Hopefully. Because the alternative would be.... that I would miss her... ;-)

Congratulations! This comment has been upvoted through steemcurator04. We support quality posts , good comments anywhere and any tags.Hihi, thanks to Hira's answer I don't have to answer in too much detail... ;-)
And you know what? I don't think I would do it either. For one thing, I'm very busy in my private life at the moment (I'm checking on the Steem, but even comments should be worth the effort in my eyes (i.e. in terms of "communicative added value"), and I only have a small window of time for that at the moment), and for another, everyone is who they are. And I say that without judgement, without condemnation (it's a play on words in German that rhymes much better...), it is what it is and it's wonderful that way! We are all individuals, that's great, I personally don't want to justify myself to anyone.
Nevertheless, if Hira had seen this platform as a "side job", even to support her husband financially, I would have been very wrong about her. After all, she has already answered herself how things went for her...
Please rely on one of our experiences: The moment you are disappointed (and we have ALL experienced that here), you need to reflect on yourself. At the latest then you will understand the system (some sooner - yes, you will - some later). That's when many users leave. Others stay. They are either scammers or those who don't care about "might". On the Steem, "might" is "power"...
Nobody ever wanted to deny you this right, nobody did (no, not even me - in case you interpreted my comment between the lines that way).
And nobody will take away your right to chase after "power".
After all, it worked in parts... At some point the puppy protection will be over and then you will appreciate your friends and real readers. I know that "the other SRs" have expressed this differently. The difference is: I don't suck up, I'm realistic. I like your texts, and not because I was addressed.
Your impatience is starting to get on my nerves a bit, but we'll work it out... ;-D
I also have to send you a post link ( Unpleasant. It's already more than 4 years old. Maybe not easy to translate, because I didn't take short sentences into consideration): https://steemit.com/deutsch/@chriddi/also-speaking-the-wife-mum
My feelings directly after the fork. There I was 30 months on the Steem and had ready money invested. The reasons for investing were moral because some were acting like.... But there was no sc at that time!!!
No, no, I'm not at all impatient.
Rest assured of that.
Regarding my latest post...
Erm.... Don't take it very serious;)
All is well ☺️
If you knew me personally, you would laugh about it 😉
I think, I should not have talked on her behalf. She did it more for fun. And even, I have no intentions for seeing it like that. It was just a little background story. Now, that I'm here, I would say that if I stay here, it will be more like a hobby. Nothing serious

Congratulations! This comment has been upvoted through steemcurator04. We support quality posts , good comments anywhere and any tags.If I relate this "dialogue going on" to a visual image:
Imagine this...
The party is over, everyone has left. Me and Hira @event-horizon are still standing in some cryptic corner, discussing things related to party. Chriddi - the mentor has joined us too.
And then you @o1eh got a whiff of our conversation and you treated us with some "tea" after the party... Indicating that you acknowledge our presence here.
You know that I like to imagine
I think we all love you for that. (:
Thankfully, I can also say that I wasn't in the game like most people are. (For this I give the credit to friends like you, the-gorilla and o1eh). I had my knees down in every other project because of my own addiction and love for Steem. It didn't affect me (when I didn't get big votes) like it affected most people. When I made the decision to step down, I wasn't sad for cutting down my big votes, I was sad for leaving my friends and the small loyal community that I built for myself over time. If it were only for votes, I'd have stayed here, ignoring my mental health and kept saying yes to anything that was coming my way. Instead, I left at my high time because it was overwhelming.
I think it's a blessing that we joined Steemit when it was relatively new. Because when I joined, there was no one to guide. I was also skeptical that it could make money for real. Infact, I was told it's almost impossible to earn here, so it was just another website where I wrote. Started it for fun and didn't let my expectations rise even when the rewards started coming in.
Now that I've come back - I'm at a better place. So not in the game. It's liberating.
I'm still up for it. ;-)
😘
I'm not in that mood at the moment - rather the opposite. No, not in the opposite mood, rather torn in a lonely decision. NO or go. Hopefully NO... ;-)
Hopefully NO. 😐
Have a look at my take on customisation
Sure. I am following you...
Saved the screenshot ;)
Thank you so much for letting me know.
And your support:)
