    Am I the only one?

    I'm more than a bit skeptical about some of the "facts" and figures in this article.....and know very well that these government programs come with many many layers of bureaucracy.......and always a CYA attitude. I can only remember my father's stories and his implied warning about involvement...

    Age?

    I've got 4 young...(10 months)...bulls to start to market in this heavily Angus area....I guess I'm still a contarious person.......will probably cross them later with something black. ?? But they are the most gentle and adaptive cows I've owned over the 40+ years.

    War on beef in the west

    Oh......btw......my brother was a fairly recent county agent in southern Colorado......my last visit with him had me really alerted to the lack of water that was forcing so many of the older ranchers into early retirement. Have there been many youngsters to take their place?? And I'm not...

    War on beef in the west

    Just a bit more of the "craziness" on the horizon......when so many people know so little about their food sources..!!! And understand so little when it's publicized. The dumbing down of this great country has been going on for a long time......just the foot on that accelerator has been...
