This is my 2-1/2 YO QH mare last August in the Ark mountains[/img] We went to the Nat Finals Chuck Wagon Races

I used to think that its just one of those old laws still on the books. I'm sure that a runnin iron would be illegal too if the pliers are. I will cut a piece of the wire and take a picture of it and post it. Its very brittle. I have really been thinking of listing some items on Ebay, what kind...

Black Angus Cattle Just losses from calves born too big, breach birth, mother would not not accept it etc. We have not had any disease or coyote problems. Thanks, Larry
