[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846382, member: 40587"] I be ding-dang-damned!! Last week, this dude from down there called me and asked about buying one of our black Corriente cows. I had three 1/2 MFB cows, and a 14 month old 3/4 MFB heifer in the old dove field pasture with those Plummers I sold the rodeo guy, waiting on him to bring his MF bull over. ( He did week before last) Anyhow, I told Scott to take him over there and see if he wanted one of them, and if he did, have him call me. He called, and before he even asked how much, he started telling me about one he wanted to "trade in".... a 15 yr old Longhorn cow with a 1 month old calf. He said he had got her a year or so ago, because he was "pretty". 50/50 black and white in a Holstein pattern, with 8' horns. He said she was "hard to handle", and tore up fence and his hay rings, etc. and since the calf was born, she'd tried to kill him. He was scared of her.
