Please tell me it's not so!

I will refrain from some of the more obvious responses. It's difficult, but I will refrain. I know there are others who won't be able to....

My county's elected officials are very wise not to start issuing warranties on sheep sold at public auction. And I will happily stand in defense of their decision not to warrant any barnyard animals, regardless of any improper pressure on them to do so.

Happy Grazing,

Since tarrant county knew it well enough to name it Murline I just thought they would want to warranty it.

We just name 'em, we don't guarantee 'em.

Now when does that auction close?.....and does anyone have a good recipe for grilled lamb chops
