If you will allow me, I would like to share a unique experience that happened to me last week. I hauled a couple of calves to Wichita Falls to be sold at the sale barn there. Now, you are going to ask why I went all of the way to Wichita Falls when there are sale barns closer. Here’s the truth, our youngest son is attending Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls and hauling the calves up there was as good as an excuse as I needed to meet him for lunch and visit. So as Paul Harvey would say, here’s the rest of the story. I had unloaded at the sale barn and had one calf in the trailer that I was going to take home. I was looking for a place to kill a little time while waiting on my son. My target was a gun shop right on the main drag and so as I was driving around looking for a parking place for a truck and trailer I noticed a car following me. After finding a place to park, the lady in the car that was following pulled up and lowered the window. She started asking questions about buying calves, where to buy them, how much they might cost, feeding them, etc. After our 5-10 minute visit she finished up by saying “I saw the calf in your trailer and thought I would just follow until you stopped and then maybe you could answer my questions”.
