and a GRE...a GOOD stallion makes a GREAT gelding!!<br /><br />and a GREAT stallion makes a PHENOMENAL gelding!!!!!<br /><br />and that's why they call it brain surgery :)<br /><br />after reading this i am tempted to go blog about my first homebred mini donkey foal, Moses, and the trials and tribulations his buyers had because they did NOT geld when i told them to do it... and he sucked those little puppies back up and they were waiting for them to come back down on their own to avoid the expense - well, one did and one didn't. and his attitude turned into BAD-ITUDE big time. so finally they bit the bullet and paid the big bucks and it's been less than a month and he is a little sweetie again.<br /><br />but i stand by my advice... he DID have a pair when he left here and they SHOULD have done it right away!!!!!PaintedPromisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771284709068251348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-24929312803682047762009-04-24T08:57:00.000-06:002009-04-24T08:57:00.000-06:00He is a handsome devil, but I am with ya, the atti...He is a handsome devil, but I am with ya, the attitude sucks!!

The sunscreen wore off long before I was done working and I forgot to take it with me. I didn't think I would be at the ranch as long as I was.<br /><br />You all are right. I think a bit of the wishful thinking was sentimental. Shooter is Woofer's last foal. I doubt I will ever be able to re-purchase the only mare the old girl ever produced. So, it's kinda sad that my old girl's line stops with Shooter. At least as far as my family's interest is concerned.<br /><br />It ended up being a mathmatical issue. Woofer was born on my ranch but has been mine for 23 years. As a gelding, Shooter could be with me just as long. I'm 39. That means I would be almost 60 before he is ready to retire. Hmmm. As much as I admire June Holman, I don't think I will be as competetive as she is in her 60's. Gee...I better get cracking at getting competitive. If these next 20 years go as fast as the last 20 have, I'm in trouble-LOLBrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-53410280939495268152009-04-23T22:00:00.000-06:002009-04-23T22:00:00.000-06:00Let me join the chorus - brain surgery!

The economy is just so bad...breeding anything that you are contemplating selling is just flushing money down the toilet (IMHO). If he had kept the gelding mentality as a stud colt, I would have left him a stud for a while to see what else would develop...<br /><br />PS...everything on our place is a gelding...except for Catnip the jennet donkey!gtyyuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402170522183324256noreply@blogger.com
