    They're a lot better educated these days now that they can read the obligatory 'EXIT' signs.

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    One of my twin heifers at a week old shaping up really well, was only a bag of bones when she was born!

    The boards only went up today had to stick on an addendum of 'let down the milk and f*ck off' in the hope that they'd stop staring at it.

    I've one off him too, the spit of her body-wise but orange. Bulled her at 20 months as I thought the same, just a bit narrow for my liking to calve down earlier.

    I've an orange one also and has a better end but white one is more stylish .. They too young to bull IMO . I have a BBQ bb heifer that was on the "for sale" list but I'm liking her more every day ... I'd love to keep them all ;-(
