what do you do with those ears, when you gotta screw you'r hat down tight :lol:[/quote]


well the flaps help to wedge the hat on tighter if you pull the hat down tight enough. don't want them to get to flapping as I might get airborne.....well not so much any more as i weigh near 250 now and even those ears won't handle those aerodynamics.

[CottageFarm]

Grew up a tobacco farmer with my dad running a small dairy. All this as a sharecropper. Grew up poor as the landowner got most of what we made. When I got married my father-in-law was a cattle trader. I ended up having to drive him to all the stockyards and helping with the cattle he bought. Thought if I was going to have to do it anyway some of them might as well be my own. He taught me a lot expecially when he sold me one. :nod: I am still pretty small keeping about 70 cow calf pairs, but buy and sell several hundred per year.
Never had any help for financing from either side of the family. Just had to buy more as I had extra money. Still not rich but if I see a cow or bull I want I can find some cash for the purchase.

70 Pairs ain't all that small :wave:

Fell into it and now I am stuck. :help:

:lol: In mud, cow pies....or both :wave:

It is a genetic flaw that has been passed from generation to generation. Been around cows since I was born and will die with the hateful beast around. It has been a love hate relationship from the begining. Cattle today are much easier than in my more youthful days, we have come leaps and bounds. Mother nature just seems to kick my butt harder now, a lot of that has to do with health issues. You can't outrun your epd's.

So, the love part of the relationship seems to win out in the end

Well, I had a lifelong dream of being a pioneer in "Cat Herding". Thanks to a mishap with predictive text on google I wound up at "cattle today" instead of "cat herding today". I saw some cantankerous old farts like 3waycross, Dun, AC, and KT, telling everyone what to do, and what was wrong with their operations. I liked it! So I decided if I wanted to be a cantankerous old fart I had better get started. :lol:

For us it was because a coworker of hubby raises cattle and suggested he did the same. When he mentioned it to me I said, "I am game if you are", and we made a 'tree change' and changed our lives.
