Condemnation
I see that the Montana Board of Livestock has ordered the Bridger herd of cattle that had Brucellosis in it <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/07/12/news/state/22-cattle.txt">slaughtered</a>. That's tough for all concerned. The Board of Livestock needs to be thinking about the whole cattle industry in the state and in the process a couple of cattle producers are getting run…

Time
Time has a lot of meanings and connotations. It can be a representation of the exact time you are going to do something, I'll meet you at 1:30, or something more general, it's time to go to lunch. I always give my kids a bad time this way because they will ask me what time…

More Danger
As you may or may not know, Montana is in danger of losing it's Brucellosis free status because of a number of cows <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2634-Seven-Montana-Cows-from-One-Herd-Have-Tested-Positive-for-Brucellosis.html">having brucellosis in one herd</a> in the Bridger area. There has been a lot of testing done of other cattle and no other herd has been found with Brucellosis. If one…
