    Your thoughts on the results of the National Red Angus show in Denver

    Have read this post with interest as we have always been interested in the RA and we are seeing them as an up and coming breed.  I am disheartened in reading a genetic carrier was rewarded in the show pen.  So I went on the RA site and was interested in their mission statement.  It reads Red...

    Shootings!!! N/C

    I will state I am for personal ownership of firearms for hunting and personal protection. This is the gun that killed the children and was the main one used. In no way shape or form is this what our forefather's intended to defend your personal rights. We DO need reform in what is available to...

    "it starts with Associations being responsible with what is being bred and the ownership when that foal hits the ground"  This is where the accountability starts.  You know it not cheap to promote and raise an animal because you have been there.  If the Associations and the Stallion  and Mare...

    Boots

    Forgot to mention, buy a boot that is similar to the heel you wear everyday.  That makes a HUGE difference in how you like them.  If you are used to a roper lower heel, the buckaroo heel will not be liked by your legs and feet.  Also the soles make a difference and if you have wide feet a good...
