To the coaches of the U.S junior team-only five skaters at a time on the ice or you get a penalty. Amazing how not taking care of simple things can lose you games at the highest level. only sweden standing between Canada and their fourth gold medal.

Greg and I had gone to Edmonton to see Hanna,went for supper after,the place was running the rerun of the Canuck vs US......I could NOT believe that penalty,said to greg uhhhh don't they know the too many men on ice rule :roll: ...oh WELLLLLLLL,on to the finals :D :D
 
Nothing can beat generations of Canadians learning to show up every shift in every game-there is a will to compete up here that other countries don't bring on a consistent basis. the U.S coaches did a good job of coaching wins but suck at preparing to go out and play after a tough loss. There is no shortage of talent on that U'S team they'll be fine next year.
 
Sheeeeese,what team does THAT to a fan??????Greg was going to turn it off before overtime was done,said OBVIOUSLY Sweden was outplaying Canada....good thing I threatened him with his life.....Canada Gold...AGAIN :D



Way to go to ALL the young men that made the Worlds Juniours a GREAT series to watch..... :) :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
 
Yeah that was pretty funny-I played hockey in the huge metropolis of Endiang the smallest town ever represented on the world jr's. I was not happy when the Swedes tied lol.

I'm ashamed as a Canadian to say this, but I missed the game. Kaiser and I were in Vermillion clipping our bulls and prepping them for the photographer. All I got was the SportCenter Highlight of the Night. :cry:

CLIPPING Galloway bulls. :shock:

I though you wanted to show the bulls as they are.

Next you'll be telling us they have been on bull ration all winter not hay and salt. :roll:
 
HA, HA! :lol: We just peel their heads and tidy up their toplines. Makes for a lot sharper pictures. Did 15 Galloways and 34 Welsh Blacks - mostly Kaiser's. He and the photographer are doing their thing today as we type. As for their ration, it's barley silage and hay mixed. The college is custom-feeding them for us along side their bull test. Their bulls are all on grain though.

I worked out some #'s last night and the Galloways are averaging 2.5lbs/day without grain. We're real happy with how they're looking.
 
He sure as heck wasn't clipped or washed when I bought him at Fraser's sale-as to Genex using that picture I really didn't have any say in that.If it was up to me I'd use the pasture pic that I took-you know with the shirt on his tail-mud on his legs-hair on his head doing what bulls do-breeding cows. what the heck would you clip a Galloway bull for-people might mistake him for an Angus-heaven forbid. I know for a fact that Randy's customers in my neck of the woods could care less for the haircut. did I mention that clipping a bulls head pees me off lol.
 
I know, I know, and I prefer pasture pics myself. As for customers not caring if they're clipped or not, great. Whether the bull's head is peeled down or not, doesn't change the quality of the bull, and if they can't look past that, someone's going to take them for a ride on a $h!tty bull one day. But the practice has been working fine for Randy, so who am I to argue with only 1 bull of my own in the sale? :lol:
