You learn something new everyday. Two items here!

#1 Isom has a friend

#2 Jogee has a friend

I didn't think either of the two had any friends.

Still checks all of the cows twice a day rain/shine/snow or electrical blackout from ice storms. She's cut down now to around 150 pairs. I've never seen a calf in her pastures that doesn;t have an ear tag that's more then a day old. Tough old lady and the sweetest kindest person you could know. Last year she finished get her college degree. Amazing woman! She has a twin sister that lives in town and wouldn;t know which end of a cow the calf comes out of.

Dun, I'm looking for a lady like your neighbor. Could you possibly get me her phone number and a copy of her bank statement and Pm them to me? I won't need a picture.

I raise Galloways, because they work for me under my management practices. Low input, minimum management, good demand for seedstock and beef.

Really appreciate the replies. Hearing the reasoning behind someones breeding decisions is always fascinating and informative.

F1 Brangus or F1 Brafords covered with a Limi bull...Unless I am retaining ownership of calves, its get em to 400 lbs and ship em uncut and no shots. Of course with todays prices if I hadnt sold out., I would baby those suckers for ever pound I could get out of them.
