Jeff That makes some sense. Thanks Jim

The owner does not need to justify his rules to me. I am here voluntarily and will abide by the rules. What I've been trying to do is get members to say why this makes sense rather than just getting chesty with me saying "thems the rules so shut the h*** up". This happens on most discussion...

Cows also get you ag plates on your trucks Cows also provide lots of green, smelly stuff to shovel into your trucks with ag plates. Regards Jim
