Sherry, In answer to your question as to how I stayed in CS. My wife and I married while we were still in school. She already had three horses but we didn't have a trailer. I had spent a number of years in both northern and southern California (Tracy & San Diego) and we both wanted to live in a smaller town. We bought a few acres in north Brazos county, spent four years worth of weekends building a house and moved in with a collie and a bunch of shelties. Now we live the country life raising cattle, growing hay and working at the university.

Ron, I got a UK workman black. I haven't had any experience with UK yet, but I hope it will stand up to barbed wire and the Texas brambles. My wife worries that I'm going to ruin a wook kilt working out in the pasture.
