    Wow I dont hear many ppl saying the want to get into cattle hauling. You have to love that industry to go into it. There ain't too much time for sleep when your hauling cattle. Maybe 6hrs total in 2 days. And sucking on a toothpick that's been dipped. Naw not for me!

    Well I would never take amphetamines but I would love to haul cattle. Everyone has to sleep some time. I could handle 6 hours of sleep in 48 hours but not 3 hours of sleep every 24 hours into perpetuity if that makes sense. I have no experience dealing with cattle is what keeps me from doing it.

    I forgot about Bunker I see them all over down there.

    Add Liberal, Dodge City, and Holcomb to the hot spots for cattle. Clovis is another one feed lots and dairys all over the place.

    Russ could prolly add some insight to this if he's around.

    Ouch... Good find there. I hauled cattle in my misspent youth. Grew a little and tried me a "chaw".
    Daddys "Brown Mule" plug; shaved me off a few little slivers, to the movies on Saturday evening.
    Chomped down and worked up some liquid.
    Rushed to the bathroom... Felt Green, Saw green, and Puked green.. I've not went for "tough" since.
