Glad to hear about the good sale of your calves, George. Congratualtions!!!
And about the dogs, I think it is the same deal as Chevvy vs. Ford.
Much of how you feel is based on the experience you've had. Now
Mr. FH, he couldn't get by without the help of his dog. He's had some
good ones and some not-so-good ones, but they all have been of help to him--just some were better help than others.
He has moved cattle alone many times and he just couldn't get it done
without a dog. His dogs are his friends and his partners. But as you say, if your cows aren't dog broke, it's sure not a good deal and especially for the dog! :shock:
