[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1779759, member: 40587"] Once again, I thought back on my Granddaddy's advice...a piece of advice that has served me wll through the years. and saved me tons of money. He said " Son, when you find that whatever that you have been looking for forever. And it is exactly how you wanted it. And you have the money to buy it. And it is priced way cheaper than others you have found. Make yourself walk away and sleep on it over night. Ask your self 'Is there any way I could possibly survive without that (whatever it is)?' If the answer is yes, you could survive without buying it, then don't." This morning, Bo, the trainer, rode Frank out to see about some of those 1/2 Bison cows that were due to calf. He found one, still wet, and rode up to it to get off and check it out. The momma was excited and blowing, etc, so Bo kept one eye on her as he eased down and walked over to the calf. Well, she rushed at him, and Frank got down, pinned those ears back, and lunged at her, popping his teeth at her, She backed off and started at them again, and he wheeled and backed up,, kicking the **** out of her for a good 20 yards. Then just stood there with his ears pinned back, watching her and swaying his head side to side. He called me and told me, and said " We might need to re-think the cutting horse thing", and told me what Frank did. He said " Damn, Warren, you would have thought it was 1949 and It was Jessie James out there on that cow." Now Bo wants to buy him. If that happens it will be best for the horse. If he doesn;t, and I bring him back, he will be as good as mine except Dan will pay for everything. I hope he sells him to Bo, though. [/QUOTE]
