Rancher Fred, I am no geneticist so Im sorta taking a blind stab at this, but would'nt the damn determine gestation time or length? I could see the bull having an influence on his calves when they start having babies. I was always under the impression that it was the dams internal and biological...

Although we work ours off of horses and after a couple of kicks to the head a honky cow seems to...

It is pretty sad when a youth feels the need to wear such vulgarity out in public and especially to a family function. The late comedian Jerry Clower said the reason people use off color words was because they didnt have a large enough vocabulary to have a decent conversation. He went on to say...
