Here I am, the guy who shows early to put up the party tent, drop off the vegetables for the snack tray and unlock the doors.
I guess I do a farm topical that reflects how we do things on our farm. And, since there is a request for animals in the topic...
Enjoy,
Rob
And, here, we do raise chickens. First week in April, we'll have some of these little ones around the farm.

Chickens did you say?
Here's a woodcut used as a return address template on an Oct 5 1879 cover I have.
This design was used quite a bit in various parts of the country in the 19th Century, then redrawn (very poorly) again in the 20th Century and used by such illuminati as Stanley Ashbrook.
And then, there are the smiling cows, horses and pigs. None of which reside on our farm....
But, we do have cats.

Animals on stamps:
Sorry to say that I could not fit this stamp in the "eUSC - Other Cinderellas" page of the eUSC NTSS 2015 exhibit. At least not so far. Any suggestions?
I did put in the mule mail stamp though.
Ha! At least you have my invaluable (def: in=not + valuable=worth lotsa money) "Z-grill" identifier. For those of you who need a bigger image hereya go...
Check all your Classic US stamps NOW, see iff'n ya got one.
By the way, all the cats I showed were taken in wild from the streets as kittens, and since they were all young enough we were able to socialize them. They do NOT like strangers however, and revert to complete wildness whenever there is a knock on the door or some noise they are unfamiliar with. Gangway as they zoom from wherever they are into the bedroom and under the bed!
We do Trap-Neuter-Release in our yard, and over the past year have fixed over thirty feral cats. We found homes for all the kittens, and even several of the adults (picture of two below). Now at last we have a stable feral population of three cats we feed plus two cats whose owners allow them to roam.
