[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 487811, member: 6713"] My Missouri Grandpa called the cows, Soo Cow and the Pigs, pig pig pig. My Colorado Grandpa used the horn on the truck (1950 Ford) . He didn't need to call much when they smelled that Silage they came like racehorses. He also drove thru the cows at least once or twice a day in the winter, when they were up at the farm. In the summer they were at the Ranch 13 miles away across the prarie so they got a visit 3 or 4 times a week. When I was a kid I never got tired of hearing him recite the lineage of every cow in the herd( 100 to 120). He knew them all by heart. He could also watch us run 30 or 40 calves thru a gate and tell us within 100 to 150 lbs what the whole bunch weighed, seemed to be magic to a bunch of snot nosed kids who thought they were the wild bunch. He also always dehorned and castrated by the Moon, the only time I ever remember calves bleeding much was when we worked them other than when he said cause we thought going to a dance in town was more important than the cattle. We sure never did that again. [/QUOTE]
