Farming and Animals
Send a Cow's philosophy is that making the best use of natural resources such as soil, crops, animals and water enables farming to be inexpensive, effective and sustainable. Send a Cow provides animals including cows, goats and poultry, training and ongoing support. Training is in: management of animals to limit the damage they do to land; care to keep the animals healthy and productive; and farming best practice to increase crop yield and lower costs, for example by using composted manure rather than buying commercial fertiliser. Send a Cow also provides business and marketing skills training to farmers who become able to produce vegetables, milk, eggs or meat over and above the needs of their own families so that they can run small businesses in their communities.

Famous quotes containing the words farming and/or animals:
“With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“The alcoholic trance is not just a haze, as though the eyes were also unshaven. It is not a mere buzzing in the ears, a dizziness or disturbance of balance. One arrives in the garden again, at nursery time, when the gentle animals are fed and in all the world there are only toys.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
