Re: \"Pumpkin\"
Bird, those top notch reds came from the bantys with the topnotch! Ain't sure who did what, but they were strange looking! That particular billy was on my Dad's pooh list from the 3rd day (age that is), he ate dad's newspaper, and later on in life, developed a habit of butting the back door, knocking it open if the latch wasn't secure. Dad chased him out of the house with a hatchet when he woke up to cold nose in the face at 2 or 3 in the morning. Billy's can be a royal pain, we had a couple nannies also as we had one cousin that was alergic to dairy products, but could drink goats milk, and eat goat butter.
When I was a youngster, we always kept 4-6 stock horses around, as Dad had 980 some odd acres, and another 1000 in BLM lease. Both brothers still keep horses and milk cows, but I think they're nuts. The horses cost to much to maintain for anything other than work, and milk cows are just a pain any way you look at it. Besides, for family use, they are not cost effective.
P.S. the billy we had was a free-roaming, curse causing, hind end thumper from way back....right up to the day Dad shot him in the rear with rock salt! He was awful wary after that.
