Just checked on the contest portfolio, and we have some really great picks so far: AYE +40% CRDS +37 GLW +35 RRI +33 MERQ was picked as a short and is -20%, so that's pretty good and likely to get even better.

A shit tornado. What a visual:) Trying to hold the big animals can get painful. I was working on a beef ranch and we were doctoring the calves. Beef arent' around humans much and these hadn't been around any to speak of so they were truly wild animals. We would run them into a pen and ram them into a head gate but then someone had to come up behind them quickly and tail jack them so the vet could castrate and give shots and whatever. Anyhow to do this properly you very quickly get as tight against the back of the animal (some as big as 600 pounds) as you can and straddle one rear leg while lifting their tale and pinning the calf forward into the head gate. We had a new young man working with us that decided I was making this look real easy and he wanted to try so I explained the importance of getting as tight to the animal as you can as quickly as you can. You see when they kick and your right on them straddling a leg the kick goes between your legs with no harm. Well Mike slowly and carefully approached and laid his hands on the rump of this 600 pounder who then kicked violently hitting Mike squarely, well between the legs. Damn it hurt to even see it happen. After a recovery Mike insisted he was going to do this and I again explained the importance of quick and close and he did the exact same thing a second time with the exact same result. I handled the tail jacking for the rest of the week:)
