35559 LOVE the fringe!

apart from Keli's Damascus goat aberration, theme is very clearly horns and hair!

I'm interested in the first pig to be proposed. Pigs are amazing but are also only at all attractive as younglings.

35559 Damascus goat, apparently very good for both milk and meat, so we'll take them but put them in the far corner for fear of nightmares!

35559 oh, I should also add, please do pop into other teams to say hello (or do some smack talking!) In particular District One will be worth checking out....

35559 Other livestock books I thought of:
Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica - on my TBR, so not a recommendation per se!
The Mare by Mary Gaitskill - not so much about livestock for food, but horses are used in management of herds (even if this horse is not a working horse). I really enjoyed the voice of Velvet in this one, though much of it was hard reading (content, not writing style)
Where's My Cow? (Discworld, #34.5) by Terry Pratchett - Terry does kids book!

35559 For livestock, I am going to suggest the awesome many-horned Loaghtan sheep, native to the Isle of Man. look at the magnificent head of horns there, not to mention the fleece!

Hello everyone, and welcome to District 10 of Book Games!

I'm Cat (she/her/hers) of London, UK and of course the Mod Squad, and very excited to be captaining this team. I know many names and faces, but a couple of new people so intro:

- long-time NBRC challenger
- big reader of all sorts, most especially SFF (I love me some Pratchett)
- very willing to pick up all sorts of dross in the name of completing a mini task
- very willing to share my pain at reading all sorts of dross in the name of completing a mini task!
- challenge shelf: hunger-games

And, in the spirit of District 10 being all about Livestock, how about suggestions for appropriate reading fodder?
I'm thinking James Herriot's memoirs (All Creatures Great and Small) or perhaps Animal Farm.

What are your recommendations on the Livestock theme?! And what livestock would you have in the district?

I recommend the audio too! Joe Jameson is such a good voice actor, I love all his readings!

35559 it's the blackness of it - if it were a wood one he'd whittled whilst whistling I'd be much happier!

the piercing I decided to overlook. and I'm impressed the goat isn't bothered by the massive predator skin he's wearing.

still not a patch on the tyre-trews!

When we were discussing teams I was "nah, not bothered, randomise me" Then Karen did the images and there was squealing and demanding of sheeps!
