[QUOTE="Gobbler'sKnob, post: 1741833, member: 42529"] As an aside, doesn't anyone else get really annoyed when people mispronounce 'corriente'? I've spoken fluent Spanish for most of my life and can certify that the standard American pronunciation of it is usually flat wrong. If you ever hear north of the border vaqueros use the American pronunciation it's an integration thing. Corriente literally translates into a singular Spanish word/phrase with a correct pronunciation. This anger began many years ago when I first started rodeoing when I was like 9/10. Also, not that I'm an expert, and if you take me for one you're a d*** fool... but if you're gonna sell corriente cattle as beef then you either need to sell them as freezer beef/personal feeders or have 100 of them to run at a time. Flavorful, but unless they're halfbreeds then a buyer won't give you going rate more than once or twice. [/QUOTE]
