And didn&#8217;t &#8220;1315&#8221; sire the grand wether at the SW district, a res. div at Tulsa and the reserve grand at Kansas City for you?&#8221; &nbsp;He laughed, like only Jared can laugh. &nbsp;I said, &#8220;We all need an inconsistent sire like that.&#8221; Congrats to all that won there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have I ever mentioned that I really like the song &#8220;Yellow Rose of Texas&#8221; by Johnny Lee? &nbsp;That&#8217;s a great song.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking at another pair of not-cheap jeans that I wear to do chores. &nbsp;I either need to get longer legs or shorter panels as the crotch is somewhow ripped out of these. &nbsp;Right at the seam. &nbsp;Kind of like welding. &nbsp;Did the weld break or the metal next to the weld? This isn&#8217;t the first time it has happened and nobody will sew them. &nbsp;I would not like to be a sewing machine salesman as I don&#8217;t think anybody knows how to sew anymore. &nbsp;Well, except for those kids overseas in the sweatshops that work for Nike and whoever else makes shoes and clothes. &nbsp;Then again, judging by the ripped crotch in these jeans, maybe they don&#8217;t know how to sew very well either. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s crunch time for OYE. &nbsp;If you hadn&#8217;t got the work done by now, then you probably ain&#8217;t going to get it done right. &nbsp;Good luck to all as we head for Friday and the weekend. &nbsp;Horseshoes and shamrocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It has been a Thursday, all day long. &nbsp;Not all bad though. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t know if my internet connection is working really good, or if some videos just BOUNCE better than others. &nbsp;Bouncy, squishy, happy. &nbsp;Either way, it makes for a good evening. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","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\/995"}],"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=995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
