[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 825668, member: 807"] U know as i sit here in this Viacodin induced stupor, a few thoughts run through my head..One is I will be happy when this kidney stone decides to cut me some slack, another is that if I keep farting around on this board I am gonna get that GURU status...lol..and finally cows in Alabama, Missouri, Colorado, and of course 3rd countries are different than they are here in Texas......Most cattle here in Texas seperate themselves from the herd and go off and hide to have there calf, of course if they have a lot of Brimmer that may or may not be true. Then we get then fun of going out and trying to find those critters....I am sure a few of you have played the game of getting behind a tree, and bellaring like a calf, which if done right is sure to fool 9 out 10 momma cows....Off she goes to the calf.....Strange...I have never had the cows come to me beggin to get in a calving barn.
