Dear Business-Properties.com:

Thanks for your inquiry.

We often get propositions, and even offers to buy us out, but this certainly takes the cake. The beef cake, as it were.

First, we want to clarify.

We weren't sure if you wanted a Turkey farm without a beef, or a beef farm with Turkey (or turkeys).

We often gat a lot of beefs about our product (which are mostly words). But we don't foist them off on readers cold turkey.

We do have a cow poem in our upcoming poetry anthology, The Vivesection Mambo . . . namely, David Romtvedt's "Science:"

    The country's full of flies. I hang a bag of pesticide
    from a tree so that the cows can walk back and forth and rub.
    There is a glacier in the mountains above town, fall and tumble, but every year the ice recedes.
    Some laugh to see slugs copulate, hanging by threads from trees. Others say this is not so much funny as perverse.
    The honeybee's enemies nestle in her hair. Hungry, they tickle her mouth. She feeds them sweet nectar.
    Angels, pictured as both male and female, engage in neither photosynthesis nor hererotrophic acts, and reproduce asexually.
    There is a star so magnetic that at the distance of the moon
    Its attractive power would rearrange the molecules in our bodies.
    Archaeologists believe that certain delicate phials found in Roman ruins were meant to hold tears.

You might think this is so much bull, but to us it is quite a feat (cow's feat, as it were), with all them molecules and phials and moons and glaciers in there all bunched together.

Or maybe you might be thinking of the last review we had complete with bull was A Guide to Raising Beef Cattle by Heather Smith Thomas from Storey Books. Which turned out to be a murder mystery.

As we reported,

    Charolais keeps running into dangerous strangers with strange names: The Bloat, Hardware Disease, Footrot, Lump Jaw, and the worst of the bunch --- a foreigner named Calculi. Even though it seems pastoral, it's an animal world out there, especially when Murray Gray is corralled and, ug, castrated by the Elastrotor Ring Gang . . . Charolais is beside herself, and in her grief, gives birth to a twenty-five pound male who they immediately name "Red" --- Red Angus, for short.

Perhaps you could drop us a note, clarifying exactly what you need. Until then, we remained a bit cowed by your letter.
