For all you NHL fans out there

A radio station in Winnipeg has used Taylor Swift's breakup anthem, "We are never getting back together", to lament the NHL lockout. The "official" lockout song.

How do we know it is Angus beef?

Interesting that the "Meat Men" LaFrieda Meats of NY (Food Network) boast they have the best Angus beef, but deliver it in trucks decorated with a Hereford head. Hmmm . . . maybe it is time to update their logo? Find out more on the series HERE.

The Incredible Dr. Pol - definitely worth a watch

Finally - something we cow people can relate to. Just finished watching my second episode of The Incredible Dr. Pol on Nat Geo Wild, and liked it even more than before. This Michigan rural vet is the all-around practioner we all wish we had (a few of us are lucky enough to already know someone like him). Dr. Pol's motto is: "the client has to make money; if he doesn't, I don't make money". To that end he uses time honoured methods combined with radical new techniques to treat everything from a cow prolapse to pet rat stomach problems - on farm, in the clinic, in the parking lot and even in a client's car. This guy is the real deal. He sometimes cries with clients, but is always professional and down to earth. Definitely worth a watch and what I will watching be Saturday/Tuesday night.
