Re: Re: Fw: Vac 'n' Blow horse vaccums?

Nasco is a wonderful resource for cattle supplies.  We've had cattle for 50+
years and tried the purebred - show circuit thing for 20 years.  Just like
breeding horses--money down the rathole.  As for the scrotal measuring tape,
there is considered a significance between size of scrotum and fertility, at
least in bulls.  I know it sounds like a joke, but it isn't to serious
cattle breeders.
