Didn't you realize? no one else on this board has ever sold timber, ever fed their cattle properly, worked for anything they have. Every one is a city slicker- no one else lives in the country- no one knows what it's like to live in the country; only Caustic does. No one even carries the right pocket knife. Ya know, that's the way to judge a mans character dont ya? By what pocket knife he carries... I dont care for all this foo foo girlie talk either but I'm not going to rant and rave about it. I guess you have to be a judgemental, miserable, old fart to really know cattle and to be able to have a voi
ce on this board.
There are several farmers in my area like this. They wish they had done something different with their lives and they are constantly grumpy and blame everyone esle for it.

He is past just so cute...he is absolutely adorable! I could just eat him up (figuratively, you understand :shock: ). Yikes, I'm beginning to drool on my keyboard again...can't have that.

Thanks, Killala...another day brightener.

I, for one, would wait until that steer turned his back...he looks like he's taking his babysitting job quite seriously.

Indeed he does take his job seriously... it's all his mother can do to get near her calf!
I think the calf is a heifer... but who knows until they're brought into the yards

PS- These aren't mine... much as I'd love to have some pasture ornaments!!

Normally, I don't either...but sometimes a girl's just gotta have fun. ;-)

If it would just rain here, I'd be more inclined to think along the line of pasture ornaments! Oh well, one can dream...

Apparently you are a person of low character and carry a fifty cent knife. I bet you have a 200 dollar hat and hubcap belt buckle though.

 

[Grippie]

Yep you got it! Gosh! You so smart!
Got everyone figured out dont ya? Everyone's got a $200 hat and a fifty cent knife.
I dont think you want to get into a game of "I betcha's" with me, cause you'll lose. I betcha.

I think you should take a look in the mirror when talking about personal character. You wont see me harrasing and badgering a woman for acting like a woman. Show me woman who doesnt think a calf is cute and I'll show you a dike.

There a lot of cattlewomen on this board that post intelligent threads about cattle.Our number one threat and thats the pet owner that moves to the country and start's humanizing these animals.
Post like a cattle operation and not some bleeding heart save the poor animal organization.

Who's doing that? As for me, I'm about as opposite from a "bleeding heart" as you can get. And I havent seen too many libs on this board yet. A few but not many?
Maybe a "gushfest" over a calf shoulda been saved for a coffee shop forum but what does it really matter? If you see a thread headin' down that road and you don't like it- stop opening that post.
Oh yeah, Even if someone wants to buy a cow, pamper it until it grows old and dies, how does that negativley affect the cattle industry? How does it hurt anyone esle?
Even though I wouldn't do it on my place- everything here earns its keep.

 

[Dusty Britches]

I normally try to ignore you CB, but you need to realize that it is those owners that have less than 25 head who keep our industry alive. They spend money on their hobbies. That money goes to supporting research and development that enhances beef promotion and production. Collectively, they supply 80% of the beef in this country.

Not every pet owner who moves to the country is a PETA member or animal rights activist. In fact, most are against those ideals.

Furthermore, every cattleman I know loves their cattle. They may not be all cutsy about it, but they wouldn't be in the business if they didn't love their cattle.

That's all I have to say about that.
