    Texas Cattleman Puts Heat on American Chianina Association

    It's not an article, it's a press release put out by somebody who starts by referring to himself as a "legendary central Texas cattlemen". Any time you see PRNewswire as the source, it's not a news article, it's a press release that a person paid to have put up.

    Income tax write offs

    Don't listen to people who tell you anything is "100%" regarding your taxes without knowing the exact details of your situation.

    Denver '15 bulls

    That guy had nothing to do with it.  We tried to be respectful of the National Western and the bull owners, there's no reason to go running behind a bull like you're an idiot paparazzi the way he was. The ever increasing difference in slick and haired bulls has more to do with it than anything...

    Announcement from Tyson Foods

    No, there are no known long term effects.  That’s not “no idea”, that’s the truth. That’s because you’re using the same fallacy that is a favorite of the anti-GMO crowd.  The kind of study you are demanding isn’t done because it’s not necessary.  You deny that premise so you now have free...

    Announcement from Tyson Foods

    To clarify something… Despite what some have said, Banamine is not an antibiotic, it’s an anti-inflammatory.  It’s made to treat the symptoms, not the illness itself.  It doesn’t treat the actual sickness like antibiotics do any more than taking Dayquil treats the underlying illness of a cold...

    When did Banamine (regardless of whether it's spelled correctly or incorrectly) become an antibiotic?

    Splitting Classes Up

    You have to set a minimum class size or sets of 20 animals could theoretically break into 1 – 18 – 1.  By setting a minimum and maximum class size it allows it to fit within the predetermined rules of a show.  Without that, it’s just a mental exercise because it would violate the rules of the...

    Splitting Classes Up

    I made one that takes a set of weights and your maximum/minimum class size preferences and breaks them down in three different options... 1 - Even Class Sizes 2 - Natural Weight Breaks (it finds the weight breaks that minimize the average standard deviation of weights of each class) 3 -...

    County Show = Popularity Contest

    I understand.  I should have replied with more depth but I was on my phone. When you close your post with that phrase though, you are giving a not insignificant vote of approval for a person thinking her child has been wronged.  Her child wasn't wronged and wasn't the victim of an injustice. ...

    No jr auction amount is an "injustice".

    County Show = Popularity Contest

    You put your child in debt for a show steer? Don't say you aren't coveting when the only reason you are upset is somebody else got more.  That's pretty much the definition of coveting.
