Whatever you do, don't let a guy with a lisp say what you wrote Gcreek or you'll get a free shower!

 

[highlonesome]

Maybe in this case 13 is lucky!! Save the calf over and if it is a bull it will breed twices as many as the others and if it is a heifer it will raise a pair of 600# calves every year!!! Be optomistic!!

Don't think quite so much. :wink:

WOW! I am pretty sure NOBODY has EVER uttered those words to Gcreek! :wink:

Best thing to do would be to fake a family emergency and get a neighbour to look after things for a day or two while you lay low and assess the situation.

Even better, you could just send that calf and unlucky cow to a destination far away in NE AB. With a different brand on the calf I am sure you would be safe...

Just look at it as the "Baker's dozen" calf and let it loaf around the ranch . . . :roll: :wink:

 

[Triangle Bar]

It should be fine.... cows are not supersticious only humans and even if they were... cows can only count to eight. :shock: :lol:

 

[balestabber]

please keep the calf,i only commented on the #13 superstition.i'm not superstitious but it made me think of a cousin when seeing a black cat cross the road,backed up and drove a 10 mile detour to get to town.and he was serious!he and his grandmother were very superstitious and would have taken my off the wall comment serious.i truly hope the BS on another thread isn't referring to BaleStabber.sorry if anything was out of line.richard

 

[MsSage]

If your that worried about the calf I am sure I could find room in my back pasture for the lil unlucky thang :wink:

 

[gcreekrch]

I was joking to some extent.

When we first started out it seemed like the cow that got #13 found some way to die in short order for the first few years. It got so we just didn't use that number until a buyer filled a load with this old cow last summer. As a joke I made up a tag with Lucky 13 on it.

Just thought the facts were quite a coincidence.

 

[katrina]

Ours was the dreaded #5...... to this day I don't think we have a #5.

 

[cowboyup]

my number 13 cow is probably the best cow I own....2nd generation 13 to boot so when I tagged her I made her lucky 13! So just have a couple shots of canadas' finest and dream of dark skinned bartenders in the Islands! :wink:
