As for heavy horses, while their number and popularity are on the rise, their number nationally is very low. I fear most animals on farms would wind up as burgers for the ignorant starving mass of locust from the cities, as will seed grains etc..

But that is a different thread.

That's good to know. Honestly never gave it any thought. I'm sure it's more common knowledge in Asia but here int the US probably less so.
