[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 184696, member: 2653"] Bret, I'm really doing it for the animals. They look like something you see on "animal cops", as a matter of fact, my guess is that if the sheriff's dept. saw his cattle, they would be taken away, but the guy just doesn't know how to take care of them, and he's trying to for his father in law. I figure that I'll work them for him, so he can watch me do it. Give him a list of things like shots needed, and other necessities, and then let him start learning. He watched me bottle/tube the electolytes last night, and this morning he saw the results. He's not lazy; he asked me if he could borrow my equipment so he could do it himself. If I thought that he wasn't going to take care of them better, I would wash my hands of it, but I think he just needs a "mentor". God knows I'm no mentor with cattle, because I don't know near enough, but at least I have a good working knowdledge of the basics. But Bret, no offense, rarely do I do things because of some sort of reward. Always despised "brown nosing"; the way I see it, what comes around goes around. Maybe one day I might need some help and someone may give it to me. [/QUOTE]
