On The Edge Of
Common Sense
Lloyd owned a 'brennel' steer, but not
on purpose. "Brennel" cattle, or
brindle, as some would say, were automatically
regarded as crazy and wild 30 years ago in north
Georgia. Any cowman who knowingly bought brennel
cattle was looked upon with suspicion. |

Pokin' Fun
Aren't we a sophisticated nation
nowadays? We have hardly anything you can joke
about anymore that doesn't throw somebody into a
Japanese incantation spell. That's where they
stagger backwards, both hands held over the left
breast, and mutter, "Oma, oma,
omagoshamighty!" |

Shortgrass Country
Three or four months ago, a guy
rented the coliseum in San Angelo to present a
program he calls Dead Doctors Don't Lie. I
wanted to go hear him. His cassettes come in the
mail. The one I listened to insinuated that he
had discovered a cure for about everything going
around this day and age, except maybe the
widespread, eternal epidemic of insubordination
by teenagers and the wider-spread shortage of
parking spaces in the cities. |

Choice gleanings
from 45-plus years of Unregistered Bull
The fact that several unorganized
groups of cattlemen in various parts of the
country have expressed themselves as wanting some
sort of government aid despite unanimous
opposition to this sort of thing from recognized
cattle organizations is not especially
surprising. |
