No, I was honestly curious. The Snopes article says that the beef from NZ and Australia is even more strictly regulated than beef here in the States.

Man, I'm glad I didn't ask about something really controversial like measuring or checkreins!

So now I gotta ask-what's the issue with buying foreign beef?

Personally, I can't imagine breeding anything less than ideal, and IMO that means testes come down on their own in a reasonable amount of time. But! This wasn't the direction I was heading in. I went out to look at a little colt today, who supposedly hadn't dropped at 13 months. I was just...

If a colt like that belonged to you and still hadn't dropped as a yearling, would you wait to geld him until they dropped on their own, or would you have the vet open him up and go hunting?

Flipping through an old issue of Ride! or some other magazine, I was reading over their special article about Minis. It was mentioned in the article that it's not uncommon for colts to retain their testicles until they are three years old. Any truth to that? Both of my boys descended at a young...

Are the employee salaries an expense? Sure they are. I find it telling when instead of pointing out the follies of GM and other big automakers-poor planning, inability to keep up with the market, massive CEO salaries and so on...the first thing some people choose to go after is the salary of the...

Oh, man, Geithner. You'd think the camp would have learned something about VETTING a candidate after this last election. But this post reminded me of something else. US Democracy Server: Patch Day Version 44.0 President * Leadership: Will now scale properly to national crises. Intelligence...

Yes, GM's downfall has to do with the pay of their skilled employees, not the insane amount their executives get or any kind of financial mishandling or not building cars that compete in today's market or a downturn in sales due to the economy and gas prices. It's those darn unionized laborers!

Congrats Tommy, Dawn, and Catch! Such an impressive boy.

Amen, Susanne, my sentiments exactly. I'm hoping to go into business for myself in a few years doing massage therapy. The tax aspect is scary, innit?

Oh! On that note, interesting bailout graphic I came across.

So because one person was able to do something, every person is able to do something. Working to improve our standard of living by improving our health care and education systems is communism. Now I get it.

If you'd like to walk away, that's fine. But do you disagree that it is the responsibility of a country to provide everything it can to help it's citizens succeed? Do you disagree that health care is a human right? Do you disagree that not everyone in this nation is on level footing? That not...

I'm sorry if my legitimate concern for our nation's standing in the world and the wellbeing of my fellow citizens strikes anyone as being a sense of entitlement. I know it's horribly selfish of me to think that by investing more in our nation's education and healthcare, we might be doing...

Actually, the report I saw citing us at #8 is wrong. We've dropped quite a bit. I don't think you're quite getting what I'm talking about when I say 'standard of living'. I should have provided a link earlier, so here's one now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index When I say...

Rabbitsfizz-I've never heard of that before! How can I check for it? She's 5 this year.

I'd like to know how raising our national standard of living has anything to do with personal responsibility. We're far from low on the list, but I think we can do better than being #8, don't you?

The bit I have now is 3 1/2", and that seems to suit her okay I'll bet I could go down to a 3" though. Her palate is very low and's that's more concerning for me. I stuck my index finger in over her bars and it was pressing on both her palate and her tongue quite a bit-there's just next to no...
