k well i was never good at math, but looks like i'm coming 'round. :roll: but anyway, thanks for clarifying the mathmatics on that. Either of you ever had expierence with somethin like this?

if anyone has the to think 'bout it and do the figgerin, if you took a polled hereford with heterozygous horned and crossed it with a homozygous horned breed such as lets say a TX longhorn, will it be a 50% chance of coming out horned. I'd ask my animal science teacher, but I'm on Spring Break...

School made me watch few years back. I enjoyed it.

Its good to have tame cattle so you can look 'em over up close. And if by some chance they get out they won't be so flighty. But sometimes it is hard to tame your whole herd down if you have 10+ head it can get a little hard to tame them down, especially if you get them wild and mature, but if...

Careful with the mid 90s cummins, boss has gone through two transmissions.

Ya know what? I labeled this "Stupid Question" for a reason. Sorry i brought it up Have a nice day

Well, like I said, the main reason of use of a horse is the fact that i ride around a lot w/ nothing with me, just watchin the herd or checking fences. And if i'm "just sittin" on a horse I'm not burnin fuel. If I'm on a ATV waitin to go I'm wasting fuel and money. And the contour of our...

If someone is playin anything then they don't really live on a farm or do but don't do any work. Now we are all here as cattlemen, not as fake cowboys or to state our false hopes. At any rate, CB, our farm has turned up profit for a good amount of years. And anymore, its growing just fine...

Yeah it pretty much sucks. That is why if i plan on becomin a beef farmer on a large scale i'm headin out that way. Yeah dad was tellin me how when he was a kid he could walk for a mile or two with his dog and not see as much as one person. if i did that today, my butt would be persecuted...

o well that pretty well explains it. i live in Indiana, where you cant spit into wind without hittin a neighbor that won't complain. (city folks movin out to our area and takin any and all chances for expanison of pasture, open range, boy do i wish)

Guess i just got a lemon. I've worked the heck outta it. yeah its seen some bad days 'cause of yours truly but i really figured it to be more durable. o it still runs and will work if it feels like it, but my only point was that there are times im needed somethin that will be on long periods...

I was thinking the same thing that dawgone was thinkin. i was wonderin how some of the successful cattlemen got their start. how old were most of you when you got into the industry.

Well i ain't into the idea to play cowboy. the way i've seen it is that the ATV sucks gas and if i ain't haulin somethin its a waste of gas. Course you got a point on the pasture, but as far as i can tell we've got enough to go 'round that one hayburner isn't gonna cut in too much. and i'm...

O, i see. Well we don't belong to any association but it did cross my mind in case we lost one and there was some dispute or if we saw one we mighta sold to someone

Reckon thats true, too.
