Hey folks, I’ve got this concept for my brand. I have used it in the past as a logo and branding on leather as a do leather work. It is inspired by my family name. The idea is the horned S because our last name starts with an s and my grandpa always raised longhorns so I wanted to incorporate both of those. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on if it was too wide or the horns would get lost at all? Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone!
I’m an Industrial Design Engineering student currently working on a project focused on the ergonomics of farm work.
The idea for this project came from noticing a potential gap in design: I feel that farmers’ needs and everyday challenges do not receive enough attention, particularly when it comes to comfort and work ergonomics.
I don’t want to come up with a problem just by sitting at my desk. Instead, I’d like to hear directly from people who work on farms every day.
I would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer some questions. Hopefully, it won’t take more than 2–3 minutes. This is not about selling any product I simply want to learn about your real-life experiences.
1. What kind of work do you do on your farm?
(e.g. cattle, pigs, crop farming, orchards, vegetables, machinery, etc.)
2. Which tasks make you feel the most physically tired or exhausted?
3. During which tasks do you spend the longest time in one position?
For example, standing, bending over, squatting, kneeling or sitting.
4. Is there any task during which you wish you could sit down or lean on something for a while, but you don’t have that option?
If so, which task?
5. Do you often have to squat, kneel or bend over for long periods while working?
If so, what kind of tasks require this?
6. Is there any task where you constantly have to change positions because none of them feels comfortable?
7. Which parts of your body feel the most strain during work?
Your back, knees, hips, legs, neck, hands, or somewhere else?
8. Do you use any stools, seats, supports or other equipment to make your work more comfortable?
If so, what works well, and what do you feel is missing?
9. If you could make one thing about your daily work easier, what would it be?
10. And most importantly: is there any task that makes you think, “This is so uncomfortable,” even though you do it almost every day?
If so, please tell me what it is. 🙂
Every response, even a short one, would be incredibly helpful. There are no right or wrong answers. I’m particularly interested in those everyday, seemingly minor problems that often go unnoticed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help! ❤️
Hi everyone! I’m very new to goats and recently ended up taking in an abandoned goat. People just abandoned it on property next to us. I want to make sure I’m doing right by him and giving him a safe, healthy, happy home. We have chickens and cats currently. Have cared for horses and donkeys.
I’m starting pretty much from square one, so I’d love recommendations from experienced goat owners on things like:
● 📚 Books/guides that every new goat owner should have
● 🌾 Feed/hay recommendations and how much/how often to feed
● 💧 Water and mineral requirements
● 🏡 Shelter, fencing, bedding, and general setup
● 🩺 Basic health care and what I should be watching for
● 💉 Vaccinations, deworming, hoof care, and finding a good livestock vet
● 🐐 Whether goats really need a companion and what to consider if she’s currently alone
● 🌿 Safe plants/treats vs. things that are toxic
● 🧰 Any supplies/equipment I should have on hand
● 💰 Tips for keeping goat care affordable without cutting corners
I’m especially interested in beginner-friendly resources and practical advice from people who actually keep goats, rather than just generic internet articles.
If you have a favorite book, website, YouTube channel, feed brand, or “I wish someone had told me this when I got my first goat” piece of advice, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance — I’m trying to learn as much as I can and give this little one the best life possible. ❤️🐐
