jit wanted to go there...not me.
aj... your memory is so short. I did not start this. You started it by making some very derogatory remarks. Why do you think I asked you to PM me? It was because I did not think it was proper for you or anyone to make comments on this forum who may not be here to comment themselves. So what do you do? You go right ahead and make some statements that in many circles could get you into a liable suit. I would have made my comments if it was the Queen of Sheba, you or anyone else who made such comments. It is just WRONG! I would think a man of your age should understand this. I started this thread to get some comments on a Red Angus bull I saw on a web page that I thought looked pretty neat. I know absolutely nothing about him other than he looks good in his picture. You were the one who side swiped this thread with some ridiculous comments, and if you look back I decided to not comment as your comments did not deserve my time to make some comments. Then you had to get personal again, and make some remarks that are totally uncalled for. I would suggest that you are really improving your reputation in the beef industry and specifically in the Shorthorn breed when you make such uncalled for accusations.
So, I am so close to Cagwin? Hmmm... I talk to hundreds of other breeders many more times than I have ever spoken with Don Cagwin. If I see him at a show, I will speak to him, but as far as visiting on the phone, we maybe speak once or twice a year. As far as the article in Shorthorn Country, I have no idea if Cagwin had anything to do with it. I had no contact with him about it, and I was just as surprised as anyone, when I was asked by the editor if I would agree to it. Deb told me, that they were looking for a Shorthorn operation to do an article on, that had been in the breed for many years, and where the Shorthorn business was their main business. So if you are going to be sick, go ahead and puke your guts out. I make no apologies for trying to make my living from raising and marketing Shorthorns.
Sometimes the comments you make are beyond dumb. I need to learn to not comment on them, as it just gets you grumpy again.
