Quote:You're absolutely right.I actually ran into this growing up. I had a method of raising yearling beef cattle that resulted in a calf twice the size and mass of the others. After the other children started bawling, I was disqualified at the county fair from showing my freaks of nature. That part was unrewarding, considering all the work I put into it. The positive side was that it was lucrative enough to put me through two years at the university.
