I have read there some Australian sheppards are prone to certain genetic problems. I don't know more than that, but you might want to check that out, and then, if you get an Aussie, get him from a breeder who has checked his dogs for those problems. You might look at getting a Texas Heeler...

Did the cur x heeler ever work cattle? Did he enjoy fetching? Every heeler I've known would fetch a ball or stick until your arm fell off, but I'm not so sure about a cur.

Anyone with experience with a black mouth cur x Border Collie or a BMC X heeler cross? Like to know which breed they seemed to favor, and how did they work cattle? If you cross a header breed with a breed that pushes from the rear, do they work either way, or not at all, or does it cause...

BFE: I checked with the county extension agent: deer and cattle won't crossbreed. So that option is out.

Why can't Texas A&M come up with a genetically modified cow that enjoys eating weeds and weesatch? If we can land a man on the moon we can surely do that. That's just common sense.

Johns Hopkins University Medical School pioneered "gender affirming" surgeries in the 1960s. They eventually banned the practice because the outcomes were so awful. It did not help the patient and resulted in harming them for life. I am surprised that the school has reversed course again to...

When I worked on a geophysical crew, we worked from about an hour before sunrise, until dark & only got a day off if it rained too much to work in the field. When ever one of the crew killed a snake, a fellow in our crew named Sammy, insisted on running over to the snake, turning it on it's...

No. There are no Jetson's in my family tree.

"Predictions," as Yogi Berra once said, "are always difficult--especially when they are about the future." Bearing that in mind, I predict that in the next 20--30 years the beef industry as we know it will disappear. As science gets more adept at growing cells in a test-tube, the time will...

You are jumping way ahead of yourself in worrying about which breed of horse to buy. In fact, you don't ride a breed of horse, you ride a single horse. If you find a sound, and sane, and well mannered thoroughbred, what do you care if most TB's are hot and difficult? If you buy a Percheron...
