Hey Burro

I've been thinking of changing my identity to nurrocrat. Do you think anyone would notice?

How does it fit, does it make my butt look too big?

That's one of those win-win situations you hear about now and again then.

They both got the ride they were looking for, and both thought they were getting the better of the deal.

There was probably a good reason why that old boy was wanting a saddle just then.
 
Yeah, cowboy way my burro.

It's the cowgirl way or you ain't getting any, they know what they think they want at the moment so don't get in the way, dangerous critters.
 
I do believe you'll always sing baritone, B. And well ok, if it was the other guys bulls, just another reason good fences make good neighbors.

I'd be politely suggesting too he not only help me make fence better, but also buy the Angus heifers the bull bred and/or pay the vet bills.

Easy enough to manage on your own place, but what are you supposed to do when it's your neighbor who's got the two Charolias bulls?

Sure you could just fix the fence again and go visit his wife on a Tuesday afternoon, but folks tend to get worked up when you interfere with their breeding program.
 
Elastrators! Eeeeewwww. What about the bull's reproductive rights?

Were you thinking about the cattleman maybe?

Alevin, are you trying to change the subject?:D
 
Xactly, Ann. What happened was poor management-not blaming the critters at all, they do what they do. Stockman worth his salt would have prevented proximity in first place. Almost lost 2 valuable animals, as it was- lost profit.

Now, about that Kona....Kath, what's your favorite java? :)

undesirable yes, but pshhh, it happens.

Have you ever tried to keep a good bull away from a heifer that's ready and wants it?

IMO, Charolais bulls shouldn't be kept in the same pasture with anything but other Charolais. Charolangus is a great mix but it has got to be with an Angus bull and Charolais heifer. And the bull needs Wheaties and Vitamin E. Any cattleman worth his stuff knows that a Charolais bull will throw a calf too big for most other breeds of cattle to carry successfully. Got one Charolais bull? Don't let him near anything other than other Charolais. Got two Charolais bulls? Get out the elastrators.

Once upon a time, long long ago, a small group of me and classmates were assigned to accompany a near-term first-calf heifer through til term. Angus (that's small), bred to Charolais bull (that's BIG). After hours and hours of our various arms up as far as they would go (one at a time) trying to turn calf the right way, calf-chains and a dinnerplate-sized hoof sticking out (breech birth), stock manager finally decided to call the vet.

Vet saved the former heifer via c-section in front of our eyes, calf was stillborn. Haven't forgotten. :sick: whoever let that heifer be bred to that bull needed to be pounded on-hard.
