[QUOTE="Mossy Dell, post: 1543571, member: 24261"] Thanks, mrvictordomino. I guess you could say I am favorably inclined because I knew Mr. Jones! Actually I was only 4, when I went with my father one day when he went to buy a bull from him. I still have the old stock cane Mr. Jones gave me that day. Our farm at Leesburg was only about 20 miles from his at Leslie. This must have been in 1959. I got the impression from reading a few years ago that Mr. Jones's famous bull at the time was a great-great-grandson of Victor Domino that gained so much weight each day and grew so large—to 2,305 pounds, apparently on nothing but pasture, 705 pounds heavier than his sire—that an official at the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station called him a “genetic freak.” I could be wrong, maybe that was one of the many famous bulls afterwards. Anyway, Dad liked Mr. Jones and bought a bull. And I got an old cane. Made an impression on me at 4! [/QUOTE]
