[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1161773, member: 12607"] Ron, I grew up in UCLA (Upper Corner of Lower Alabama). Married an E-town girl, and ended up here in W.KY 20 years ago, after stints in southern Middle TN and mid-MO. Here this long, looks like I'm staying in the frigid northland ;>) Too many folks up there in the Golden Triangle don't even consider us to be part of the state over here - it's like, once you get past I-65, 'there be dragons', or something. Several years back I was talking to a friend from Laurel Co., telling her we'd hired a colleague from Jackson Co. She said, "Oh, I never thought she'd leave Kentucky!" Well, there you go! CSM, they've still got Brangus influence in the herd at the UK Ag. Exp. Station at Princeton. I get some of their animals here from time to time. I grew up with Hereford & black baldy cattle (with some Jersey & Guernsey in the mix from my grandparents' dairy days). Convinced my dad & uncle to buy a halfblood Simbrah bull, back in about '82... sired the best calves we ever produced on that farm. I still love the 'eared' cattle - and Bloodhounds and Nubian goats - but don't know that I could ever convince or entice the farm manager(my wife) to let me use a Brahman-influenced bull. We worked on plenty of BM, Gerts, and Brahman-crossbreds back in the '80s, and don't have fond memories of a lot of 'em. But, if she'd seen those BMxAN heifers from over around Campbellsville that sold at Guthrie last fall...she might just change her tune... but for now, she's back on a Simmental kick, and it's OK with me.
