[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1474859, member: 14161"] Bulls tend to adapt to their environment if feed is offered in abundance they will get big quick. Here, with what I am prepared to feed them, it can take 6 or 7 years to accheive full growth. Lots of times they are crippled or gotten bad to handle or culled for some other reason before that time. I sold a ton bull last year but most barely reach 1900 when they are in good flesh. A bull can be thick and still very athletic. Sometimes those "athletic" calves don't bring the top dollars at sale time. I never met Rich but met Pan, knew Lester Dorsey, Tommy Holte , Alfred Bryant Thomas Squinas and a few other old timers when I first came to this area chasing who became my wife. Our oldest son is named after Lester and many of these families have members that still live here and are close friends. Sugarloaf Mountain, where Hobson's horses Nimpo and Stuyve came from is visible from our ranch and not far away. Apparently Rich was a good story teller. I asked Tommy once about the books. Tommy wouldn't say bad about anyone but he did say Rich could go fishing for an hour, see a butterfly and write a full length book. Most of the stories have truth to them but characters are a little different and numbers of cattle maybe weren't quite all there. It is a tough area to ranch in and was a lot tougher back then. This is Pan's daughter, know her well. [url=https://49thshelf.com/Books/B/Beyond-the-Home-Ranch2]https://49thshelf.com/Books/B/Beyond-the-Home-Ranch2[/url] Another author to search is Dude Lavington. His two books are great reads and very close to the truth. There are another couple books about Pan but I can't recall the author. [/QUOTE]
