After Papa had a stroke, he stopped keeping his herd, and my Aunt started keeping one.

No more bulls. She didn't want to fool with them cause they're ornery, annoying, stubborn asses. Her words. Worth it to reproduce by insemination.

She also started raising Jack Russell Terriers. So, cattle, ducks and geese, quail, rabbits, and dogs. She wanted to keep up with the horses too, because who wouldn't, but she was travelling too much with her job by that point and Papa had had that stroke. We were too far away and I had to work too. Urchling missed out on horses, which is sad.

I didn't mind the aside. It was a fair question. I'm sure you weren't the only one to notice the incongruity so you were just giving me a chance to explain myself. This is not a problem or a situation to make a fuss over.
