I farm with my Dad.  While I am far from unique (it's just the two of us and I am female), it sometimes seems as if I am--a dealer stopped by when we were in the market for a new grain cart.  I asked him the necessary questions about bushels, tarp, scales, etc.  When I got to price he said "why...

What is anyones impression of either bull? 

What is he out of and what do you like about him?

Which Twisted X womens boots do you like?  Do they run true to size?  I have a small foot and can wear a kids size 4 so womens boots are often too big.  However the kids boots are often do not hold up well.

Paddy's can make you good cows.  In general, of course way too many variables, they are pretty stout girls that have a cow look I love. I cannot comment a lot on milk but from what I understand they do not stand out as one that don't milk. Hairys should but I do not have any first hand...

I have a couple of friends with cattle in the sale so I hope that lots of people are needing rides :D  Since I take it you are driving a long way I hope you end up with what you want and let us know!!

Thanks for this information.  Interesting is very true. I have been a Temple Grandin "fan" for many years.  I have complete admiration for her accomplishments but add in the autisim and she is a very special person indeed.
