This Amazing 16.2-pound Gelding can be yours for A Free Lease. He's sound and bomb-proof on the trail and in the show ring. Snap is 17 years old and ready to go home with you now, with an option to buy.
I gave this talk because a cow taught me something no human ever could.
That's the thing about cattle: they are forgiving. I can bark at a steer at nine in the morning, and by 9:02 he's looking for a treat. Cattle don't hold grudges. They don't read tone. They don't lie awake replaying what you said to them by the water trough.
The internet assured me the easiest spot to draw blood was the tail. Cow number one proved it. I lifted her tail, slid in the needle, and — like magic — blood flowed into the tube. Easy peasy. I labeled my prize, feeling confident, while my team escorted the next victim into the chute.
