    livestock saying and quotes

    My favorite in college was a  professor at Iowa State that would say " That thing is good enough - he can walk, talk and play the piano'" another was a collage buddy that would look at a steer with a big butt and say " Look at poop chute on that one"

    Field of Dreams

    Live 15 miles from there. It is still active. Still draws quite a few people. Dyersville has been able to ride that horse for a long time. The city has done a good job of promotion. The Ghost Players have somewhat disbanded however which was sad to see.
