Mike Rowe a Baltimore Opera singer turned realist. I watched every episode of his series dirty jobs often thinking to myself no way a professional singer and actor is actually digging in and doing theses things. Then after a few seasons I noticed the realism of the work he was filming It was kind of a you just can't make this stuff up because I had done some of the things he was doing in the segments.
When in high school every year kids would try their best to win a coveted spot at the Ft. Worth fat Stock show sponsored by the FFA one year I raised a bull calf prospects were really looking good that my calf might get to go to the stock show I had shown it at the county fair and won a blue ribbon but my calf didn't make the cut, no big surprise there was a lot of competition and the calf and I didn't make it that's life he grew into a fine bull anyway and we managed to get a lot of calves from our heifers he serviced.
One of my female friends and her yew and newborn lambs did make it. and she castrated the lambs while at the stock show the same way Mike Rowe had to do. After wards at school someone started calling her bite em off Susie He was a townie and didn't understand and wouldn't have understood no matter what. One day Susan got tired of his stupidity and told him that she was more than willing to demonstrate the process in front of the class and explain the reason this was necessary that the lamb felt very little pain and, if he would be so kind as to volunteer she would prove it to him.
Tommy turned as pale as 2% milk then said no thanks
