[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 268965, member: 4203"] Husband is still pretty clueless about cattle (espeically thier behavior) after 20 years on the ranch, but he is good help. He can dig a ditch, or run the chute, haul stuff, buck hay, feed the kids, wash dishes. Even do laundry (not allowed to touch my good stuff, though) fix pipe, vehicle maintence etc etc, but I always have to double check comments about animal tracks, numbers (a whole boatload of cows to him can be 3 or 4 to anybody else), fence repairs (the man has a problem with paper and wire - he is a masonry contractor by trade and I think paper, wood and wire are just too flimsy for him) He has yet to grasp the fact that it is easier to control a horse by his head than to manually shove a 1500 lb animal out of the way, but he has stuck it out and I love him. Him not coming from a ranching background was a good thing - I think my personality would have been too much for most men and especially cowboy types. I'm not the type to stay in the house cooking and cleaning as a career. [/QUOTE]
