JB, tell us more. How do you know this?

As for leaving, I have a good friend that used to post on here and quit. He says his head hurts less from pounding it on the wall. Some people just can't read a post and take it for what it is.

What???? You talkin' to me????? or rather ' about' me???????


...and I'm not ' old' either!!! :lol:


He's confusing me with Judith!!! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
 
Oh yeah!!!!????


I bet I got more " la te dah" friends than you do!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


I bet it's my pouty ' cow ' lips in my pic that has set them all off!!! :wink: :wink:


(WOW...look at our avatars.....we're real beauties aren't we Judy??? :wink: :wink: )
 
Sheesh I thought puttin that bow in my hair would keep your eye away from the fact that I havent shaved in so long that my hair has turned green! ( Bet your la de da friends can't make a run on sentance like that one.......) I have always wonder just what you are hiding by wearing those glasses :shock:
 
:lol: The good thing about you two ladies using your pictures as your avatars,I'd recoginise you chicks in a crowd :wink:
 
we have ranches in az and new mexico. I am a 5 generation rancher and a professional calf roper. I know most of the people in the cow business in az nd i will assure everyone that arizonans in general are not braggers. Azcowpuncher is has got way to much time on his hands and probably takes extreme but chewings every day for being in the wrong place
and goes home and types in to the computer what stories he has heard about northern arizona cowboys.
 
Wow a few characters there that I haven't crossed paths with. It is a bit kinder here than on that thread. Even the recent liberal exodus was more pleasant than that. :shock:
 
It got so bad with azcowpuncher, per, that his nickname was
azcowmangler. He just didn't know when enough was enough.
You are better off not knowing him, for sure...he did nothing but
degrade the forum.
To our surprise, he did take some of our regular members along
when he left...
 
Since all this happened BH (Before H), how bout' explaining who ran off with that guy. I sure hope all the stupidity and drama stays gone from the site cause who needs that junk? :roll:

At least one of them came back. :D
 
Headin out, little cold this morning. I like to read articles from this site but rarely do I reply. This post sparked my interest. Everyone likes gentle cattle, don't care who you are. They kind of handle themselves. But there are those types of cattle that you have deal with this way. I have had some pretty wild cattle over the years. Most of these were cattle I picked up at sales thinking I could make a little something on them. I always try drive them first, good help and good horses I usually do pretty well. But there are those times when this is not an option and I rope them and tie them to a tree(if there is one) or tie them on the ground, and get a trailer close. I have tipped many horns(my horses sure appreciate it) not out of spite or anger but out of pure necessity most cowboys know the difference. There have been some wrecks, some broken legs and some bumps and bruises, and I take it personally when this happens but sometimes it is not avoidable. As far as copenhagen goes at 3.50 a can I think I will keep it in my own mouth. Have a good one.

You're exactly right :D . No doubt, you need to do what you have to to get the job done at times. This summer I got to ride some with people who take care of yearlings, coming from all over the country. Not all are quiet and gentle, or easy to deal with. Also, the cattle knew how to take advantage of topography :lol: . Anyhow, these cowboys handled them with the force necessary to get the job done, without attitude. I wanted to tag along and learn more from these guys, because they were very competent in what they were doing... and it was FUN!!! They never lost respect for the livestock, and were good horsemen and dog handlers as well.

Here's some pics of tying one up to load him. I just hung back and took pics, because my help really wasn't needed :D .

We then gathered another 5 head and loaded them directly into another trailer with dogs and a few panels. I wished I could've filmed those dogs work, they were very good!
 
What kind of dogs, WR?
That fella in the picture must've been from Texas; anyway
it looks like a Texas hat!!!!!!!!!!

I think we all have had to deal with unruly cattle. It's the ATTITUDE
you have when doing it that makes the difference between what's
necessary and what's cruel.

They were two border collies with tremendous eye and grip :wink: . He was selling the one dog because it wasn't strong enough :shock: . I wasn't about to show him my dog crew... :lol: . Mine work great on my quiet cows, but they're getting OLD and crippled! I don't want another dog at this time, but better be thinking of getting one started beacuse I'm going to be in a mess when these dogs start to go.

He was from Colorado... and I don't know what's up with the taco hat.
