Jump to 1 minute in if the beginning bores you. So no more preg checkin cattle, no castrating bull calves and no semen testing breeding bulls. Can we still de-horn cattle? Notch ears? Give shots? Ear tag em? Surely this crap can’t become law..

Sounds like a livestock boycott is in order for Colorado. They should remove all the meat and fish from the stores if it doesn't have proof of age certificates. The upside is that there will have to be birth certificates for all those animals. Think of the new voter base that will be established :hey3:

We have spent the last four summers in the San Louis Valley Colorado. Alamosa Co for a general location. We stayed at Antonito
It's like the old west. All the area ranchers take their cattle up into the mountains in the spring when grass is growing in the high country meadows and turn them loose. No fences just brands.
In the fall before the really cold weather hits, cowboys head up into the mountains on horseback to bring them into common pens. Sort them to sell or feed.
While the cattle are in the high country, hay production is the king during the summer. Huge stacks of hay everywhere to get them through the winter.
Been going on there just like that for who knows how many years, yet the liberals that invaded Colorado want to change tradition.
Is a cow or steer going to feel any less pain no matter how old they are when the processor puts a .22 into their brain?

Calvillo's in Alamosa, the only Mexican buffet I've ever liked, and one of the few buffets I like period.

OMG! Yes, they probably will get enough signatures and it probably will pass. Colorado has deteriorated so badly over the years.
I agree. This WILL be on the ballot and probably pass. The insanity is that the same people that will sign the petition and presumably vote for it are the same people that have no problem “aborting” a human baby before or even after birth.
