Hmmmm.... Lefty's post was left here over 11 years ago.
I'd like to help, but what is your question?

You’re looking for a vintage 1930s hat box? That might be a tall order.

Not sure what you mean by a “gus” Stetson. The Gus crease came from the hat the character Gus wore for the TV miniseries Lonesome Dove...a long time after the 1930s. Of course the “Gus” crease is very similar to creases common on old westerns; however, the crown height and the overall width and length measurements will determine the fit for a box and not the crease in the crown. Did you perhaps mean Tom Mix?

Was it the Tom Mix that inspired the saying...."all hat, no cattle"

It wasn’t JR Ewing?!

big money..modest hat!

I’m alright with just the hats and letting others have the cattle. We had various animals when my kids were in 4-H and that was enough for me.

I'm not so sure I'd agree with that. I rather like cattle when it's grilled just right.

For what those 4-H animals sell for you’d pay $125 for a burger.

If you're eating grocery store beef than you don't know what you are missing...or getting! Even more so if you are shopping at discount grocery stores. Of course some people love the Veggie
Whopper, & never had a cheeseburger they didn't like.

To my memory, I have not seen a back bow Whippet. I can’t seem to recall ever seeing one.

Thanks, Jeff. Neither had I till about a week ago. I wonder if it is all original.

I’ve not beef in the last 2 1/2 years, only bison raised in the flint hills of Kansas

We have ground bison regularly but find the steaks/roasts to be dry and sometimes tough. We don't eat a lot of beef but sure enjoy it when we do.

Nothing as peaceful & majestic as seeing all those bison roaming free again, home on the range...amongst all those wind chargers.

After last wks rolling blackouts here in the Midwest some may want to rethink their stance on fossil fuels.

In 2019 we camped in Teddy Roosevelt Nat Park in N Dakota. The bison wander freely through the campground. I watched a huge bull full gallop up an embankment....magnificent sight. I got out to snap a picture (from a safe distance) but when the bull spotted me and I could see his body tense as he spied me I hastened an orderly retreat.

They can be mean & dangerous, requiring tall strong fences to contain them. Ted Turner owns the largest private herd in the US, probably the World.

I’ve a friend who raises bison, since the pandemic the problem is getting them slaughtered. The locker plants around here are backed up as much as a year.

I used to buy 1/2 grass raised beef every year.... but we sold the house and live in an apartment now so don't have a big freezer.

To my taste, the grass fed Angus beef tastes an awful lot like the Bison I've had here. I was raised on grass fed beef; didn't know how good I had it until I moved out and bought my first grocery store beef. Wow, cardboard as a descriptor is not an exaggeration.

This bull looked to be over 6' tall at the shoulders from 50' away. He was a monster. I beat a retreat to the motorhome but then thought this aluminum box is no real protection if he gets pissed off. First 50 yards he can likely outrun the RV as well.

That's exactly the case for several reasons. It's forcing the cattle industry to either hang on to their stock another yr or sell at a significant discount. If you keep what you would normally sell they're past their calving yrs & you still have to feed & Doctor them.

And from inbreeding they're not as big as they once were.

It's not a huge market unless you own your own restaurant chain like Ted's Montana Grill.
