To: potlatch; Dust in the Wind

When Chinese firecrackers did not get our 3 fed out Brahma steers into the corral/feedlot chute/ramp and up into the truck that finally took them to the custom butcher shop -

We got old Gray Lady - an elderly but tough Appaloosa Walking Horse mare - and she bared her long teeth and those 3 fat Brahmas were on the truck in a flash

I saw a big Brahma bull get his front legs over the top welded rai heavy steel pipe pit fencing at the Davie Auction - the gray haired Miami area buyers in the front row dropped their Havanas and scattered

My brother’s Brahma bull could clear a 6’ hogwire fence with 4 strands of heavy tight barbed wire on top and 5’ wide ditch on the other side

It sure tried to kill me several times

You never see Brahma or Brangus bulls in bullfight rings

Bullfighters do not like
to commit suicide

When I first bought my home, my neighbor still rented the pasture behind to someone with a herd of Brangus. I loved to watch the calves get frisky out there. Pretty little black babies, fun to watch them.

It was disappointing, tho, to take visiting children to the fence, only to have the cows and calves scatter.

But the bull wouldn’t deign to notice me or anyone else. Heaven help anyone whom he DID notice, LOL!
