Subject: Maybe I'll run for president..

I know it's kinda late to throw my hat in the ring but I hasven't seen anybody to get too exiceted about so far. Might run as an indepentant. If Hillary or Obama either one win their primary, I think any dip can run strong against them, probably beat them. Why not a dip like me?
On the other hand, if they were to slip our NM governor in there, it just might cause lots of cross over votes, depending on how strong me and the Rep. guy run.

If you can get my calfs to be worth $5000 to $10,000 each I will vote for you. (NT) -- Varmit, 17:42:55 09/04/07 Tue
- If I win I'm going to get DSL installed here so I'll have it for when I get impeached and return. Was supposed to get it yesterday but now they changed it to Sept 30. If those calves are bred to buck calves I wish him luck.I've watched a couple of bucking bull sales on RFDTV and if I remember right, most were surprisingly close to sale barn prices. Now some of those big name proven bulls are anouther story. Once in awhile, they had a cow loaded with genetics that went pretty good. (NT) -- Hap, 20:26:20 09/04/07 Tue
  - If a person had the time, the land and the ambition, you could work the sales down here and buy plenty of young bulls and I bet a good enough percentage of them would make bucking bulls. At least enough you could make some money.. Some that probably had only seen man for the first time up close when they were gathered and went to the sale barn. But it would be alot of work and not for a slow moving old guy. But years ago this country was full of bucking bulls. I think Mesquite got most of their bulls out of Florida years ago.

    - One out of three won't cut it. All I've got is the time. Don't have much ambition, that's why I've decided to go into politics. I was thinking of starting out at a lower level, dog catcher or something, but got to noticing there were always some top notch candidates there so that's why I got to thinking of running for the top job, lack of competant opponants.

    - Jim Shoulders used to get a bunch in Florida too. NOW you won't believe this. In Chihuahua, Mexico I got to see my old bull, Leroy Brown. Berger owns him now. He is much bigger and fatter now but bucks exactly the same. I sat next to Sevi Toturi before the flight from Houston. Sevi drew the bull and didn't make the 3rd jump. Leroy Brown's 3rd jump either has a turn back or a fake. Sevi was so loose by then he couldn't have made either. Then Leroy runs off. Nobody ever rode him past the 3rd jump unless Leroy got into a wall and couldn't turn the corner. So, I can now say I raised a PBR bull. I won't mention it though when they find out that he only has the 3 jumps before a run off. They are carrying his number as 22 but that's because the can't read his brand which is a Z on each hip.

  - When you go to the shows and see those trailers selling stuff that kids buy to put on their show calves you know somebody is making money. My guy owns one of those companys. A big one. The cattle are sold as show cattle and a few pens of bulls are pulled out for Denver. I raised a set of Denver champions a few years ago. I own none of them. The cows are black Limmey crosses. Cattle sell at those prices because people want to buy whatever genetics won the last show. That's why they do the embryo transfer. They get more to market faster. This guy has been doing it his entire life. You don't last if you are making mistakes. (NT) -- ZD, 12:40:20 09/05/07 Wed
    - Thanks ZD..... now I understand...... that completely zoomed over my head when I was thinking who might buy cattle at those prices.... but horse show people and cow show people will pay anything to try and win. (NT) -- Varmit, 13:32:53 09/05/07 Wed
