What'S The Point Of Buffalos?

[breadbin]

the point of a buffalo is that when your so called partner/wife/gf/bf etc. has no money she will tell you her buffalo is sick and because you love her or him so much you then rush to the nearest western union to send money.

Also, girl/boy with buffalo = farang with no brain

[payak]

buffalos were put there by god to prepare thai girls for the coming of foolish farang.

they can practise on the buffalos, talk with them,walk with them, even befriend them.

It gets them used to the farang who are similar in mind and sometimes in body to the buffalo.

The Hide of Buffalos make a great pair of Boots or Shoes,which last years,and only need resoling.

A buffalo hide also makes a great 'leather jacket' to be worn with monitor lizard shoes.

Are buffalo ever raised specifically for meat?......ie the same as beef cattle

In reality some rural families may buy 1 or 2 buffalos when they are young for a low price

They just feed them daily for a year or 2 until they grow up and then sell them off

If they are already doing "other things" for work ( day labor or what ever) then they may not have money to buy a bunch of them or the time to take care of too many

If just 1 or 2 you can just tie them up and drop some grass for them to eat twice a day, so no burden to take care

If they had 20 or 30 it would be a full time job to take care of them unless they had a huge field to let them graze in without needing supervision

So for example : buy a small one for 8k ... Let it eat grass for a year.. Sell it for 16k ... Spend 8k .. Buy another small one for 8k and repeat ( just guessing on the numbers)

Oh yeah... And hope it doesn't get sick...

Dad, Dad, why did the buffalo go straight into the semifinals?

just ONE buffalo dropping can earn 20 Baht. Add earth, make it a nice 10 kilo hump-bump, sack it and bag it. Sell it to the next flowershop, plus-forte-fertilizer. A Buffalo literally shits money!

You would think then that some enterprising Thai would have a herd of buffalo........especially in light of the economic benefits pointed out earlier by CWMcMurray and others....forgive the pun but it looks like it's a cash cow right up to the day it's turned into a nice new jacket and matching pair of shoes.

never in India, holy cow!, and in Thailand only for export and the discjockeys with their outback stetsons . . . .

Thai farmers actually herded their cattle in the rice fields for fertilizing reasons, plants grow where ya drop. Each pop means rich crop.

Buffalos used to get sick, a good cash-cow when the story was spread over freshly-wetted sheets. Now only tractors - a broken tractor is not as good an argument. It wakes your do-it-yourself attitude, not the spending heart.

When the weather conditions are just right some very nice little mushrooms grom from the poop.
