[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 94108, member: 1683"] Ha Ha :lol: Ha Ha Ha - - -no, mtnman, I am not an Angus Breeder - closet or otherwise. I am a former Ag Teacher and Dr. of Chiropractic ( since 1955 - Retired now). I have been a Beef cattle enthusiast all my life - raised on a beef farm in Mo. and got my degree from University of Missouri, then taught Agriculture for five years in Mo. and Colorado. I have done all the "good" stuff that one does with cattle (Even proud of the fact that I was asked to be the Herdsman for J. C. Penny Homeplace Angus Farm in Mo., but decided to teach instead.

Even Auctioneered a little! And I LOVE it still. When you can understand the scientific basis for why you do what you do--then it makes sense. I suggested Angus Bull(s) for myersfarm because he said " I raise Angus cows now" When he mentioned Red Poll - that's why I asked him if he was in the BUSINESS of Beef or Dairy.
