Unless, the military needed it and it would take months and trillions of dollars. But GOD did it, like, maybe on the 5th day. An Osprey. That deal is wicked. Check out the talons, the way it holds its wings depending on the entry, the wing lift, the vision. I’m always amazed by the functionality of nature. <\/p>\n
I’m also always amazed by the retardation of humans and judges when dealing with livestock. I’ve been talking to quite a few hog breeders lately. They have all been pullling pigs, doing C sections, getting litters of twins and triplets. In other words, they have let the judges take out the reproductive factor in these hogs. The judges want them bigger boned, squarer hipped, wider based, wider skulled, bigger footed. Get ready to see a correction in the marketplace. We saw it in cattle several years ago. And now, we are at the forefront of it happening in the goat industry. If, and I use the term IF loosely, if we are smart, we would moderate RIGHT NOW! We’ve already made goats heavier boned, heavier muscled and wider based than anybody ever thought possible. We already have a problem with a limited gene pool. Right now is the time for judges to moderate in terms of muscle, bone and base width. In other words, just use good ones. Not extreme ones. It is harder to make a cool looking, well balanced, structurally correct animal that has proper muscularity than it is to make some wide based, heavy muscled deal. <\/p>\n
I’m going to try to do the impossible. I’m going to try to sleep until 7 AM tomorrow morning. I haven’t done it in years, but I am wore out and need some sleep. <\/p>\n
Here’s to all of you! Cheers! Horseshoes and shamrocks. May tomorrow be better than today. <\/p>\n
Hold on while I click “Save Post”. This deal don’t work unless I do that. <\/p>\n
