| Description: | MS Dr. Bill Burkitt of Great Falls, Montana, saying that MGA only works on "open heifers"; "if there's any possibility that heifers coming into the feedlot are pregnant, they should be aborted"-- not only is the sentiment creepy, but so is the fact that this old white fool has two large racist doll heads of young African-American women replete w/ enlarged & enhanced red lips resting on the table behind him. MS middle-aged cattle farmer saying that heifers are taken off MGA 48 hours before slaughter. Cut back to Dr. Cracker saying that if withdrawal recommendations are followed, there should be no return of the heat cycle. MS rancher Bill Holland saying he took his cattle off MGA b/c he thought it was too expensive, but went back b/c of its quieting effect on the animals. “The trouble with heifers: is there really any anymore?" MS/MCUs heifers eating and playing in feedlot. Credits roll. | |
