$44,000 FOR A SHEEP!

The reason cattle people do not like sheep, is that sheep actually require management skills.

So before you start saying you hate sheep, remember, a lot of people don't like cattle, cheaters, grey areas, steer jocks, wanna-be steer jocks, freedom and apple pie. 

When it comes to shady practices in the show arena cattle people are the students and sheep people are the professors.  There isn't hardly a good lamb out there in the hunt that isn't hand made....

Wow dusty, that takes some big kahunas to say that....nothing like lumping everyone together.....kinda like steer jocks (every last one of them) are cheaters, check bouncing, egotistical, broke, unethical, unmoral, and butts. Gosh, how accurate is THAT???? (now that I think about that......).

In fact, now that I think about it....EVERY (and I do mean EVERY) person I know that has been caught cheating with lambs have been wanna be steer jocks that couldn't make it in the cattle world (or had wanna be steer jock advisors), so they had to find something easier to mess with.

First animal ever caught being aired: steer.
First animal tested/caught with clenbuterol: steer.
First animal ever colored: steer
First animal ever switched tags on: steer
First animal ever pumped: steer

And I can stay the same about all the "contender" steers and heifers: all man made by "create a calf professionals", with mighty good surgeons on staff to boot.

Case closed.

I've always heard the same thing and have seen enough first hand to make me believe it.  I showed one lamb when I was a little kid way back when.  I was helped by our local sheep showing expert.  It was all I could do to brace the sheep when they'd hit him with the hot shot in the back before the show.  And I couldn't figure out why I couldn't keep him awake in the show ring.  Figured out a couple of years later it was because he was almost dead from dehydration from all the Lasix we'd given him.

We've had  a whole lot more people in trouble down here with sheep and goats than ever were thought about with cattle.  It goes on with both, but sheep are cheaper to expirament on.
