Just continuing a legacy that has gone on for centuries. What do you expect? After all, Florida was the first cow country and had the first cowboys in this hemisphere.

Back when I lived in Orlando the local paper always had stories about how FL had more cattle than TX. Kissimmee was cowboy country.
When I drove a truck one of my regular runs was to CO to pick up a load of beef and haul it to warehouses in FL. Always wondered why. Had many runs from Dodge City and surrounds. Nothing like sleeping in your cab downwind of a feed lot.
Read "Florida Cow Hunter" by Jim Tinsle, about the life and times of Bone Mizell, and "A Land Remembered", by Patrick Smith.

Smells like money to me
Something has to be wrong with your nose... Spring time in Germany was rough. The chicken and Sheep manure was terrible but when they top dressed with that Pig crap in the slurry wagons it was enough to make you gag.
LOL LOL LOL,,,, I loved it,,,, you knew it was spring then,,,, I was in Spangdahlem,,,, where were you at? PM me if you want to,,,, they used to slaughter and hang the pigs from the rafters in their garages,,,, drain into a bucket to make bloodwurst,,,,
I was all over. Karlsruhe, Heilbronn, Baumholder, Kaiserslautern, Sembach, Ettlingen and Stuttgart.
I spent 7.5 years there. At first I averaged 13 months per duty station. I was being shipped from one Unit Deactivation to another.
In Kaiserslautern there was a great Canteen that served the best jaeger schnitzel mit brat Kartoffel, But I would turn right around when I walk up and see them hanging the hogs. The Schnitzel was going to be REAL Fresh that day.
