"Balls on a Heifer"  ;D No meaning to it....from the guy who told it sounds like it was just an expression his mom used, as an alternative to swearing.  I thought it was funny. I can't think of any real ones at this time...sorry.

Benefits of Mac....urge to throw out window reduced by 300%  (lol) Some of the programs you use will be a little different, but they have office for mac (word, excel, powerpoint) so you can easily exchange .doc .xls files with people.  If you have any special programs that you use a lot and...

I guess I can explain this too.  The way double muscling develops is that back in early early development, when the cells are there but have not differentiated into what they are going to be yet (muscle, fat, bone, connective tissues), the gene causes more than normal to become muscle cells. ...

Definitely varies....some just have that colour and are pretty curly.  Others you can look at their back and clearly see skin with barely any hair.  How much of a problem this is, is obviously going to be influenced by the environment you are in. afhm...still can't say I've seen it in Char, but...

It comes from a cross between black (so often angus, but not necessarily) and red Simmental.  The journal article I have on it says it can happen with dark reds as well as the lighter ones, but I still think the diluted ones have it happen more.  It comes from a gene where when the animal is...

Haha....so there was an ark and a spaceship ark? But anyway, sure all the animals of a species or breed or whatever are related to some degree, related being having a common ancestor (or more than one).....like that lucky pair  :D  That is why the definition of inbreeding says "more related...

And I heard the Americans' style of judging is very different  :D  Actually, just curious if you could elaborate on what you think the differences are.  The one thing I can think of is our shows (especially junior ones) are not such a big deal and lucrative, and therefore maybe not such a...

GGGGGGRREEEEAT ;D Dang...can you imagine meeting that boar in the forest  :o

Oh dear....my mind was definitely going  :o  Not to say people don't do it, but to give instructions......then you changed tracks  (clapping)

Yup that's about right.  Think of it like a spectrum, where on one end there is the extreme double muscling like in those pictures, on the other end is normal, and then the crosses end up somewhere on the spectrum in between.....question is then, where?  That's the chance element.  The year we...

Farmboy, yes you are right in the way the terms are commonly used.  But really, while Endangered species is an outcross to DP, he still might not be to your particular heifer, if they share some other common ancestors (doesn't even need to be a good ancestor.....).  But when people are...

The office I had for awhile last year had a whole bunch of old semen catalogs on a shelf....I should have asked if I could have them.  It would have been fun for this game.  Oh and plus, I've been making my own collection since I was like 10...so it would have fit.  Wonder if they are still...

Inbred is defined as more closely related than the average of the population. Conversely, outbred is less closely related than the average of the population. If you consider the breed your population, when you pick two animals out of it, they can be inbred (more closely related to each...

Hey I was just on their website the other day looking at him and liked his look.  I have seen Muridales at shows and if my memory serves, always liked their cattle, but I can't say I payed any attention to what was out of who or anything. I guess that's not much help, sorry.

Ok I have a stupid question but I just gotta ask.  That bull in your profile pic is a lowline right?  Well, um, for halfbloods, do you AI?  Or give him a stepstool?  Or is he just big enough for a heifer (or just really determined perhaps  ;D)?  I've seen Lowlines and right now I'm just not...

Not an Idol watcher....but a big Cowbell fan here :P  One of my favorite skits.

Red do you just buy glucose tablets at the drugstore or whatever?  I also just realized Rob tried to give me sugar free juice last night as a boost when he thought I was going loopy.  :D  Maybe I should find some of those tablets......

Cold?  It's always been served hot up here.  Not that I think eating it cold would make me like it any better  :-\  It's on the least favorites list for me...... For Language ARTS

You do realize that I'm a klutz right ?  ;D  Oh and sometimes I had to fit outside on windy days. I'll remember about the Vaseline if I have to do it again.

That heifer looks a lot like the cow we had in her head shape and colour.  Now I really think she must have been Tarentaise. From that picture it looks like you have the right kind of them.  I've seen some poor ones at shows around me.  Guess it is the same as every breed, except with only a...
