In the early days of this country 1t
vas not uncommon to hear tho state

ing that the animals bad been fed sufi-

was not uncommon, in those early days,
to have to lift cattle mp, "tail them up, "
- Was the expression, late in winter and
early spring. In those days there was
q low understanding everywhere regard
