Well if you have to check for all those problems every day to find them early you will soon be out of business. A good cowboy can detect most of those problems while riding through the herd. He may not know what the problem is but he will know there is a problem and can examine the cow when he either gets her to the lot or ropes her. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

You have to remember, that many people in the cow business now are city people. I know plenty of them down here. They invested in land and using the cows to get agriculture taxes and have a write off for their investment. (NT) -- Varmit, 13:35:16 10/02/08 Thu
- They got an amendment coming up for vote about fishing marina's getting an agriculture tax break and this is what the Orlando newspaper thinks about people with cattle when giving their opinion about the amendment........."The state's tax exemption for agriculture has long been manipulated by fat cats who put out a few cows or plant some trees to reduce their holding costs."
