One of my favorite ways to spend some free time is to look through some of the 60+ years worth of various livestock magazines I have.  It is absolutely mind boggling to see the changes in types, both livestock and people, over the years.  Since this seems to be a somewhat show oriented site, I have to mention the 50+ year old guide to showing cattle I have.  The author states that it is a good idea to wash your show string once before going to the fair to get them used to the water.  How many of you know what a liner is?  Orvus?  Horn weights?  Have any of you taken a nurse cow to the fair and let your 2 year old show bull nurse her?  Nearly 50 years ago at the old Iowa Royal Shorthorn Sale in Des Moines we would rinse off the mud balls on our cattle underneath the sale pavilion.  Most people don't even know there were water faucets under there.

Here’s a pic of High Time, assuming it’s the High Time you’re referring to.  He was full irish by Improver 3rd and was used by Waukuru a little in the early 80’s.

Its too bad his rear end doesn’t look like his front end in spite of the camera angle to accentuate that era’s emphasis.
