quire a horse to have 9
If you have never ridden be
fore, or if you have childien

train yourself would be appio
pnate

heavier pens will cost moie per
head, but they’re most likely to
be the money makers foi cattle
producers
The heaviei calves at a feeder
sale have giown fast since bulh

make rapid gams in the feedlot,
Biudette says Since late of gam

cattle that gam the fastest usu
