[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 577396, member: 4094"] [b][color=#FF8000]I don't think that the hair thing will ever go away. I just don't. I guess I'll put what Im tryin to say into different words. Yes. We do want these kids to learn to raise structurally correct cattle. I've seen so many cattle that are not structurally correct; in fact, i've owned a few myself.
