Canada Day

[grassfarmer]

hell, grassfarmer, enough of those namby pamby sports....this is Alberta, get into RODEO !!!! BULL RIDIN', Chuckwagon driving !!! Then you could go down the road with those damn cowboys in the big pickups hauling the big stock trailers and wasting all that fuel !!!

[grassfarmer]

By the way grassfarmer, I agree with you with respect to not really being interested in what goes on in Central Canada, but the fact of the matter is that what goes on there is how our country is governed.

Emrald1, Had enough of cow on human action at home this year without taking up rodeo!

[grassfarmer]

Oh well this irish gal has her share of rodeo action at home with the critters as well ! Can still clear fences ahead of the snotty ones though, touch wood !!
I know cowman would say they should be on the truck headed to town if they are nasty, but even the tame ones can have a bad day !!!

grassfarmer: Nice to know you have a sense of humor...here I was beginning to suspect you were just a dour Scotsman!
Emerald: I know you are going to eat me on this one...but quite frankly the Limousin breed isn't exactly known for its quiet pastoral nature? I mean those babies could kick a mule to death and never think twice...I'm sure you will educate me on my obvious misconception?

[cowman]

cowman, those limo babies hit the ground ready to get up and get a belly full of colostrum, no need to haul out the tube feeder and spend half the day or night getting them up and going, and because the mama cows are fairly protective the coyotes usually don't feast on limo babies often !
I have helped neighbours get dummy calves going far too many times not to appreciate the limo calves !!! Yup some of the limo blood lines were not famous for their quiet disposition but most breeders make an effort to get rid of the high headed ones and not breed it into their herd.

I have a couple of smotty mothers, but the rest are okay. The snotty ones will be gone this fall regardless of what they are worth, because I am worth a lot more than they are !!!
