I provide the carcass data...you guess the breed

There must be a reason he used sooner though.
No- The whole Maine thing of actually using them-- is pretty dang new to me- and this summer/ fall will be the first time I actually inject any Maines into my cows.  Had my eyes on them for awhile, and always wanted it in my pedigrees-- but haven't made the plunge until now.  I'm going to try the red deal first-- and then once my feet are set better venture into the blacks.  Takes time. then how the heck would you know why he used sooner? :

I was sad to see that bull not stacked since he came around years ago.
Few people believe in linebreeding, and even fewer actually do it. plain and simple truth. so what.  i said it was sad.  people line breed all the time without knowing it.

He's got everything perfectly plus a little extra he doesn't need. Maybe that's why he used sooner.
The JDS Stout bull is an interesting one.. With all those old fullblood deals that I've always heard good things about, and have always heard 'make my kind' maybe, hopefully not too much. he may work on nazi walkers.

Once people figure this out, some good things are going to happen.
Doubt it, he's too old school- people are into flavor of the month- not proven and tried/ true. you missed the point.  old school has nothing to do with it.

I know all- and see all. ;D

Old school has everything to do with it.. If it's not flavor of the month- then it's old school; whether it's old school or not.  It all in the eye of the beholder.

Makes a difference to me.

The plant is committing a crime as is the employee if they are illegal.

We could get rid of commuter lanes, save on cops and enforce real crime.  

Is every Latino an undocumented immigrant committing identity fraud?Seriously. Facts are, that it was the California Horticultural Crop Industry, as well as the Golden State's Mega-Dairies that started welcoming those folks. The Beef, Pork, and Poultry Industries in the Midwest and Upland South only began employing those people when nobody else would come to work.

If Californication is that bad, then move back to Nowatta. I'm sure OSU Extension would like to have an Extension Geneticist on staff.

we had the bracero program.

seemed to  work fine

our immigration policy should be the same as mexico.

also, the current administration is seeking ways to block europeans from illegally immigrating from europe.  seems racist to me.

We shouldn't block Europeans from immigrating here. That's true. I agree.

The problem with the Bracero Program, is that people didn't want their best employees leaving. Probably was a California Dairyman or wine grape grower, that was the first person to allow a Bracero to hide-out in the bunk house over the winter.

As to your other point, I've asked many a Guatemalan or Salvadorean about what it was like, thunbing their way through Mexico. many of them describe a horrific experience.
