I really don’t give a rat’s rear about the nfl lawsuit that involves nike’s new poster female dog. \u00a0I did not like him when he took a knee and my opinions have not changed. \u00a0I have not watched an nfl game in two years. \u00a0My life has not changed as a result.<\/p>\n
Now, they are suing and using the term collusion. \u00a0Good luck with that. \u00a0I’m not a lawyer but I have watched a lot of Law & Order. \u00a0It takes hard evidence to prove collusion.<\/p>\n
Collusion would actually be more prevalent in the livestock show world than it is in the nfl. \u00a0I’m not crying foul. \u00a0I have actually benefitted from it. \u00a0Not my with my own kids, but we have done well sliding into that reserve grand slot when things were a bit dirty on the top side. \u00a0When, where, who\u2026.not typing it here. \u00a0Tammy nor I have ever wanted anything but a clear shot for our own kids. \u00a0We are down to one last show season\u2026.and we haven’t changed. \u00a0Let’s show. \u00a0That’s it.<\/p>\n
There is not a breeder nor judge that can accuse me of collusion. \u00a0EVER. \u00a0Regardless of species. \u00a0All that I have left in this game is exactly the same that I started with. \u00a0Nothing . WTH? \u00a0Exactly. \u00a0The Dragon Lady and I have one kid showing. \u00a0And we are still using this as a teaching tool. \u00a0Feed–properly. \u00a0Clean water–YES. \u00a0Exercise–Duke only. \u00a0Manage temperature–team effort (Duke and Tammy), help others with all of the above (Duke, Tammy and myself). \u00a0 Cash checks–Duke when he helps sell some goats for others. \u00a0 \u00a0I don’t need a banner to prove my worth nor my kids. \u00a0We are good. \u00a0Would we like another? \u00a0Sure. \u00a0But it will not change Tammy, Duke or myself. \u00a0Yes, we would like to validate years of hard work. \u00a0But, I do not feel the urge to have a deal in place. \u00a0I’ve seen it. \u00a0I’ve been a part of it. \u00a0I need NO part of it for my kids.<\/p>\n
I’ve seen the great and powerful oz (four letters) at work behind the curtain. \u00a0I get it when you have to go warm your hands around that campfire. But, I can’t do it. \u00a0Why? \u00a0For the respect of the game. \u00a0That’s it. \u00a0That’s all.<\/p>\n
I truly want to believe that a kid and an advisor(parent, friend, teacher, etc. ) can still study genetics, phenotype, proper feeding, utilize hard work, superior showmanship and management and get a fair shake at a show. \u00a0I need<\/strong> to believe this. \u00a0Why? \u00a0This is what the United States of America was founded upon. \u00a0I know things have changed. \u00a0But that does not make me believe that I should depress my values to meet those of others.<\/p>\n I delivered goats to students this week. \u00a0Good goats. \u00a0Combined with good management and showmanship, they have a chance. \u00a0I do not think that I delivered a grand at OYE. \u00a0But, I would like to have the warm and fuzzies that if a kid does their part, well, at least we have a chance. \u00a0Personally, I don’t have that warm feeling, but guess what\u2026.we are going to go after it like we do.<\/p>\n All I have ever wanted is good kids, showing good stock.<\/p>\n That’s it!<\/p>\n Bring em. \u00a0Show em. \u00a0Judge em. \u00a0Come on. \u00a0Regardless of species.<\/p>\n I know that I am right. \u00a0How? \u00a0I ain’t reading your blog and you are reading this stuff. \u00a0Am I wrong? \u00a0Not very often and dang sure not today. \u00a0Let’s go show. \u00a0No collusion. \u00a0Come on. \u00a0In the words of Marvin Gaye\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really don’t give a rat’s rear about the nfl lawsuit that involves nike’s new poster female dog. \u00a0I did not like him when he took a knee and my opinions have not changed. \u00a0I have not watched an nfl game in two years. \u00a0My life has not changed as […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2457"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2457"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2461,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2457\/revisions\/2461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
