A quote from my uncle, if you don't want your cows to die don't own any. When one of his did die I asked him what happened and his reply was, she got tired of living.
I heard this quote from a good ole boy that's been in the cattle industry for a loooooooooooooong looooooooooong time.
" A woman's ass and a whiskey glass can make a horses ass out of a real good man"
and of course there is always "Don't hate the player, hate the game"
