that make you feel better, big swede??? :lol: :lol:

OMG Soapweed--i remember that :shock: seems like the injectable was just saline solution, but i'm not sure. thanks for reminding me of how old i am :? 8)

just goes to show that phenotype is not equal to genotype... :shock:

i can't compete with "worst" wreck of all, but i've had a couple that counted in my OWN mind!! one, helpin' a guy load stockers out of a pen made of 8 strands of barbed-wire about 6" apart, had a heifer decide she was NOT going on the truck, blew past me, THRU that B-wire, and on the way by...

i am reminded DAILY that people that drive trucks do it because they are NOT rocket scientists :shock: and i am reminded WEEKLY that there ARE a FEW drivers out there with more brains than god gave a goose. i'm glad you got the bull back--the guys that work at stockyards/packing plants...

genetics is everything, ain't it? :lol:

gotta love the cattle cycle don't ya?

well, he does have kids, but they're grown up and not in the cattle-buyin' business, but he does inspire those of us who work with him :-)

ditto to FH, soapweed. however, there ARE some things more important than others in the "worry line-up". it's up to each individual to decide what those priorities are--at least in this country. god bless america.

i happen to know a cattle buyer who can't pass a red for love nor money--he's a hoot, and he'll do WHATEVER it takes to buy 'em :roll:

i'm just glad you all know how to post pics! now lilly, she's hoot, and that country looks DRY to me, even with all the trees. and soapweed, saddletramp and jinglebob--there, if you look, you can see why the sandhills of western NE are called "sandhills"--i'm not sure how they ever grow enough...

talk about row-crop country!!!!! NE IN is almost as good as ILL and most of OH (boy that's a LONG drive going east to west :-) ) i agree with you on the hills growing on you. one of these days i'll figure out how to post pics from here--the hills are AWESOME. and i've found that (you sandhills...

yeah, i would take a post-legged bull over a camped-under, but i think as an industry, we're getting TOO post-legged. a good, i don't know, 45 degree angle at the hock, seems to me like the best to stand up to LONG use. not only, but especially, in the commercial (sp?) cow herd--i mean, what are...

ok--here's a question for you guys. first, i liked the bull, tho he doesn't have much round on him (and that's worth money, too, BTW. but not as much as a loin, and THAT only applies if you sell the fats grade/yield). anyway, what about this theory: smaller rounds go with these post-legged...

i was gonna ask you what part of OH you were from earlier (before i saw these pics), kinda makes me homesick for southern IN....i'm from NE IN originally. now i'm in NE NE, wonder if that means something??? :)

i liked some of them til i saw how post legged they looked.... :cry: but i don't know much about how form follows function in the cattle business. i'm here to learn, so could some one explain how a post-legged animal, who needs to cover ground for survival, is better than one with hock...

i've always heard Hard Twist and some Blue roan line were a "little" bucky but had a lot of bottom and cow--your stallion related? wish i could remember the roan name, but i'm getin' too old.... :oops: what IS that roan stallion....????? you guys'll know...

i say--get over it! don't you people have anything better to do than hash and re-hash something that has OBVIOUSLY NOT impressed a couple of courts. IT'S OVER. i'm sure you all can cuss and dis-cuss the NEXT lawsuit, ie herman schumaker's, about price-fixing the boxes. keee-rist. let's LIVE a...

BR--SOME of us have seen the repercussions (sp?) of the border closing since it happened; unfortunately, the small (-minded) strident, litigation-happy percent of the US cattlemen have gotten all the attention, and for a while, the justice (?) system in this country backed them, for whatever...

i, personally think that before a person takes ANY person's word on ANY subject, a person should find out (research) if the person making the claim has ANY legitimacy in their field. ie, has this person published in a peer-review journal? if so, how was their research received/reviewed? who...
