not to hijack this post, but, Pine Drive Big Sky - my what a flashback. Must have been close to 25 years ago (time flies doesn't it) I was going through calves on a ranch at Hamilton, Texas, that was owned by Diamond Shamrock - hence, unlimited capital. We were riding around looking at calves still on the cows. This ranch raised Angus and Brangus. I remember about two minutes into the tour asking the foreman, what on earth are these Angus calves out of? He said, you're looking at our first calf crop out of Pine Drive Big Sky. My Lord, the calves were flat awesome. I'm not an Angus guy, but mercy, I'd never seen such a calf crop before. and I will say their mother cows were a sight to behold also. We were able to purchase a couple of heifers for the kids that really worked out well for my kiddos. BTW, the Brangus herd was just as impressive, those moderate cows could raise American steers for today's shows in Texas. Your post jogged a nice memory I wanted to share.
