I didn’t do much but I got a lot done. \u00a0It was a short day at Shattuck Schools so I hauled a couple of sheep and a few goats for several kids to the Perry Sale Barn. \u00a0This was a somewhat traumatic yet cathartic experience for me. \u00a0I have bought high dollar wethers for others but not so much for my own kids. \u00a0However, this past year, I spent some cash on a wether. \u00a0This wouldn’t be the first time that I have mentioned it. \u00a0No matter, it is now done. \u00a0Next Tuesday, there will be a check in the mail that will finalize how much I lost on this deal.<\/p>\n
I then made my way to REI. \u00a0The cool thing about my stops there, they just add it to my monthly statement. \u00a0It’s all good.<\/p>\n
Although I made some miles, I did not eat anywhere cool. \u00a0But, I did stop and look at a set of clubby steers. \u00a0The wind had died down, the calves were not blown out and pimped up, the sun was out and dang dude, I just enjoyed watching some good stock stroll around.<\/p>\n
From time to time, I have been asked what kind of stock that I truly like. \u00a0Sound, functional animals with enough muscle and a cool look. \u00a0Anybody can single trait select for muscle. \u00a0But, a correct skeleton with ample muscle and a good look are always good. \u00a0It is harder to make correct than it is a freak.<\/p>\n
Speaking of a damn good one. \u00a0I got word tonight that Blood Pressure had to be put down. \u00a0That one was Damn Good Livestock. \u00a0Feet and legs were correct. \u00a0Ribcage was right. \u00a0Hip, tail setting, pin width and chest floor were wicked good. \u00a0I have had the luxury of seeing some great livestock in my time. \u00a0People, Blood Pressure was one of the best. \u00a0I have no doubts that his genetics will prove true.<\/p>\n
And how about the Hummel post of 900.2 \u00a0 That deal looks wicked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
