Hat Tips
By Dean Meyer
O
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK: * *
A few things, about ranchers
I'm kind of like that song that
says, "True GrWs the only movie
I've understood in years".
Oh, I used to be a movie guy.
Back in the old days of the Empire
theatre in Minot. James Bond
movies. Westerns. Take your best
girl on Saturday fright. Not like I had
a lot of best girls. I had to travel a
couple hundred miles to get a date.
Fooled Shirley though.
She thought I had money and
cows. All I had was the hat!
Know what I remember best
about the movies? The giant cups of
buttered popcorn. Real butter. And I
mean big cups. It was so good, you
were tempted to eat the big cups be-
cause they had so much butter on the
inside!
But, enough of that. It's about
four o'clock in the morning when
I'm writing this. I have been up with
a couple heifers (bovines) since mid-
night. You think TV is bad in the
evening? Waif until you try to find
something worth watching between
midnight and 4 a.m.
So, I want to explain a few things.
to you non-ranchers. If you see a
rancher in the grocery store buying
baking soda and beef consomm6
soup, he's not making meth. He's
doctoring scoured calves. Don't ask
him if he's opening a restaurant.
If a ranch wife comes in and buys
several pair of nylons, she is not
going on a vacation. She is buying
them to put over calves ears to keep
them from freezing. Don't kid her
about growing a couple sizes since
last fall.
If you are sitting patiently at a
stop sign and a pickup and trailer
runs the sign and is pointed towards
the vet clinic, don't call the cops.
Call the vet and tell him to get his c-
section stuff ready.
Most years, you can start a fist
fight, by commenting that this snow
is sure good moisture. Although after
the last couple, years of drought,
short hay, and dry dugouts, you
might be able to slip this comment
by this year. At least for awhile.
If you see a rancher with blood-
shot eyes and a weeks worth the
whiskers, don't ask him if he has
been in a card game. Or just returned
from Vegas. Don't ask him how it's
going. Jtist smile politely and tell
him to have a nice day.
If you are eating in a restaurant,
and a rancher with used hay and pla- ,
centa all over his jacket is sitting next
to you, and his wife has on wore out
Carharts and-overshoes, and they
have a pickup outside the caf6 with
a calf in the cab, a dog in the back, a
heifer in the trailer, and a note from
:• the bank on the dash .... This is im-
portant! Do not comment on the high
price of beef! People have been
killed for less.
When you get up in the middle of
the night to go to the bathroom. Rest
assured. You are not the only one up.
There is a rancher, or a ranchers
wife, or their,kids, pu'lling ov%rshoes
on as you pull the covers back up.
And they are wading through the
mud and snow and missing sleep.
And they do it whether calves are
thirty cents or a dollar. Whetherthey
are making a hundred dollars a head.
Or losing two hundred. They'll do it
tonight. And tomorrow. And next
year. Why? Cause they are cattle
people.
Order a steak: They are cheap.
