Don't forget the horses! They're non-ruminants, but are used as milking animals in Mongolia.

And yea, camelid species are classed as ruminants or pseudo-ruminants.

It's Piwi!!

I'm a vet student at Massey, and know aaaaall about Piwi. He's a pretty cool little guy.

@name: the kiwi is our national bird and yes they're very endangered. The Massey Wildlife Ward is run on donations rather than government money, so it doesn't matter at all to the tax payer how much goes into saving 'one runt bird'.

Haters gonna hate ;)

That looks like a (very old version) of a calf weaning ring. Stick the pinchy-no-spikey bit across the nostrils of the calf, and the spikey bit pokes the cow in the udder, so she won't let it feed, and voila! Weaned.
