I heard it was at bama's....... Dress code: Shorts and cowboy hats.

That will work. There ain't much to do in this little town but I make some surenuf good BBQ boston butt. I can only cook 25 butts at a time though.
Or we could have fish fry. Mike has lots of cat fish and I can fry for 30 people at a time.
So y'all come on down and sit in the shade for a while. The weather is great in late October. It is still a little hot but the humidity is way down by then.
You will want to stay at the hotel Talisi. It is an old hotel from the good old days with sitting rooms in the halls and such. The southern food is great too.

bama,
Fat cattle do not have a Whoa.....
We have a long sorting alley. and at both ends are two gates so you can sort from either end. One gate is the finished cattle and the other gate is the feed more gate(pen). And so we sort one at a time and sometimes they don't go towards the correct gate so I shag my shirt at them to move them towards the correct gate. Usually at high speed.. Kinda like a bull fighter only with oppisent(sp)results.

I can identify with Katrina, although I've never sorted fat cattle and (heaven forbid) I've never taken my shirt off.

The old cowboss of a big outfit in W. Montana taught me to use my jacket and shake it at the cattle. You don't have to yell. That jacket shaking will usually do the trick when you are on foot. Just hold it so it is wide and shake it or if you have too, snap it at the cattle.

Mr. FH takes his hat off and holds it real high and that causes our cattle to move foreward if he is behind them on foot, such as in an alley, etc. He refuses to yell or make a lot of noise. Amazing how well they respond in quiet situations. Our cattle don't do well with a lot of noise BEHIND them.

I got it now. You are using your shirt as a tool. I thought it had something to do with being shirtless and that was what had me confused.
If you ever help me, work cattle please remind me to let you be the one sending them down the ally and to remove all working sticks, towels and rags from around the facilities.

I have seen half naked women and I have seen women working cows but I ain't never seen a half naked woman working cows. Please post pictures or put on a demo at the nettogether.
