Spent until noon dealing with irate parents who think that since their kid got 2 out of 13 assignments done that they should be passing. Ran 6 miles. Worked calves on one of the herds. Caught one of the prettiest snakes around, and one of the largest skinks I've ever seen. The boy sorting and pushing the shoot.  Nuts with garnish...  The boy tagged his heifer with his basketball number. He was kind of proud of the idea. His trip to Barbados to represent the US on a basketball team has been posted a year due to the virus.     |

Them some big balls you cut off that skink!!! Some of those nuts were attached very well. Had to do some good pulling. No, Reagan not eating these. I enjoy a calf fry once in a while but never cared to go to the trouble after working them. Let someone else clean em and do the cooking. I just want to sit around and drink a beer at that point. |

I’ll settle for the ribeyes.  I’ll do liver but, no balls or tripe. |

I’ll eat balls before liver. But harvesting and cleaning has been more than I can do. I have eaten them in a restaurant.

Mountain oysters taste most like shrimp to me.

They are bar and rodeo food here. Usually a big event... lots of people contribute then there is a big fry and party. Sliced really thin and deep fried. It's good eats.

Holy crap, how old are the calves those nuts come from? It gives me a side ache just thinking about pulling the nuts out of a critter.

I was squeamish the first time, got used to it. Now it's nothing to cut an animal's sack off, reach up under the belly to push them back down (they suck up usually), then pull them out. Not for everyone. My oldest hates the thought of it. He can do it... but even mention it and you can almost see him protecting his nuts like karma is going to come back on him. |

If animal rights people have their way, that will be coming to an end. There are now guidelines in the dairy industry. I am glad I am out of the business. The last six months, my back was so stiff that I tried to get younger people to do it. I just couldn’t move fast enough to escape a kick. Beef were far worse than Holsteins as they had more power. Beefalo were the very worst. I’m glad I was young in those days. |

Sandbur, I've never messed with dairy or beefalo. I can only imagine how wild and strong a bison or a beefalo would be! The angus calves are the most I would want to mess with. Hell, I don't even like working with the cows. I consider a half crazy cow one of the most dangerous animals in the world. I bet you have a lifetime of stories! I don't know why but I've never considered the peta types in these practices. The calves walk away fine, and to be honest most ranchers treat their herd as well as pets. |
