THE PINZGAUER TIMES
November 2014
Connecting good cattle to good people
From the APA Office
As you may have already noticed this newsletter is much bigger. This newsletter
has a lot of information in it for you. The 2014 breeder directory is in here along
with the 2014 Buying guide. APA annual meeting minutes, show results, and much
more!
The office has been really busy solving issues that have come to light. Some of
you received a notice that your herd prefix was assigned to someone else. The
office has been working hard to get all this cleared up and making sure each person has their own personal prefix. If you do not have a prefix please call the office
and get one today!
All DNA samples MUST be sent directly to the APA office. The office has the sample kits and instructions on how to DNA type your animals. All bulls that are intended to be used in AI must be DNA typed. All donor embryo cows must be DNA
typed and any calves resulting from embryo transfer must be DNA typed. On page
17 & 18 you will find a list of DNA tested animals, these are animals that the APA
has on file from 1999 to today, if you have an animal that was DNA tested and you
do not see it listed please send it to the APA office.

A message from the President
Forward Movement! That seems to be my saying lately, we cannot undo the mistakes from the past, but we can move forward and make the APA the best its ever
been. We are working on so many things: EPD’s, the Journal, Herd Prefixes, etc.
We are prioritizing, delegating, and moving forward. Please help us with this Journey.

A message from the Vice President
Greetings fellow Pinzgauer breeder’s, I am pleased to serve on the APA board of
directors and as your current vice president. I hope on my time on the board that I
can help the breed to grow in numbers of cattle and members. It is a great time for
the beef producers with record pricing in all areas of the industry. In my twenty
plus years of raising Pinzgauers I have met many breeders from all over the country and have worked with a number of them to promote the breed and it has been
a pleasure in doing so. Please remember the board is there trying to do their best
for the breed and its members and maybe not all the discussions may not sit well
with all the breeders, the board is doing its best for the breed. If anyone has a
problem you can call me at anytime and we can talk it over. Thank you
Todd

Regional News and Pinzgauer People
MidWest Report
The Midwest had a busy summer. In June we headed
to Seymour, WI for our Junior District Show where we
had 23 head attend. Next was the Open District Show in
West Allis WI with 24 head. Then on to Farm Technology Days in Plover WI, which overlapped with the APA
National Show in MO. Then finally in September was
the World Beef Expo where 23 head showed open and
17 head showed in the Jr Show. Next stop is the Badger
Kickoff Classic in Madison, WI December 5-7. We
hope to see you all on the road to promoting the breed
and life-long friendships.
Southwest Report
Private treaty cattle sales have been strong here coupled
with the high prices at the local sale barns it has been a
good year for breeders in our region. When we add
above average rainfall to the mix hay crops have been
good as well. Pyramid Ranch has put Certified Pinzgauer Beef in a local steakhouse amid rave reviews. We
have sold cattle to 6 new junior members so the Pinzgauer Breed will be represented at Ft. Worth, San Antonio,
Houston, and Austin stock shows this spring. 2014 has
been a very good year. Happy Holidays to All
Southeast Report
Northeast Report
In October we held the largest Pinzgauer show since the
National in 2011 at Fryeburg fair. We had 28 head exhibited!
(See Show results) We had more Pinzgauers exhibited than
some of the more common breeds! Our display for the APA
drew lots of attention and many flyers were picked up. Many
people asked questions and have since followed up with
possible sales! Breeders in the northeast have been promoting the breed. Interest has been from various groups – some
wanting breeding/show cattle, some for meat, and we are
beginning to see interest from the commercial herds wanting
to have a Pinzgauer bull to cross with.
Western Report
A Pinzgauer Steer Placed 4th as a high selling
steer at the Sacramento Co Fair. The Kids are excited about their steer projects. The kids are our
future! We would like to welcome all new breeders
into the breed.
Eastern Report
We are in the middle of calving season and are very
dry for this time of year. We have had a bunch of interest in the in Pinzgauer breed and several new breeders in the area! We welcome you!
Registration have been strong for the southeast so far
this year. We lost a long time breeder this summer

Are we doing EPD’s? I thought we did EPD’s. We
aren’t ever gonna have new EPD’s. Yes I’ve heard
all of this and a whole lot more so I thought I’d better bring everyone up to date. As you have probably already heard, when we transferred the data to
the new registry program the 2007 EPD’s did not
transfer. In researching all of this Harriet discovered the person who did those EPD’s. He agreed
to send her the data and the key to attach it to the
new registry. So we have made progress. Now we
need to recover the data from 2008 to 2012 and we
need all of our breeders help to do this. We need
you so send Harriet in the APA office copies of all
dam production summaries, calving records, etc.
Any records you have on animals born during this
time would help move this process toward completion. Since Harriet took over the office only 300 bits
of data have been received. This means all of us
have been negligent sending in birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights, hip heights and scrotal circumferences. So breeders, get busy. Clean
out your records and get this info to the office
ASAP! The sooner we get this information, the
sooner we will have our updated EPD’s.
The APA Board of Directors is committed to seeing
this project completed.

American Pinzgauer Association
Board of Directors Meeting
August 15, 2014 Sedalia MO
Present: President, Diana Beckius; VP, Lisa Wamsley; Treasurer, Kim Paul; Secretary, Kathy Haskell; Board members, Bob Kesler, Dan Hunsberger,
Kyle Hyder, Mike Foshee, Kathy Dombrowski, APA Office Secretary, Harriet Thoms. Absent; Ruth Adams, Dixie Berg, and Jack Fairchild.
President Diana Beckius called the meeting to order at about 1pm. Several members were present by phone conference call.
Secretary’s report: Accept as written, motion by Mike, second Bob. Passed
Treasurer’s report: No formal report; reference Financials sent by APA office.
Committee Reports:
Breed Field Rep: Kim reported for Ken, have received no calls or emails, nothing to report.
Youth: Kathy H reported that there are several activities for the Youth at the National Show with the goal of getting them to socialize and have fun as well
as learn about what is at the fair and Pinzgauers.
Scholarship Fund: Lisa reported that 2 applications have been submitted. Will wait to see what the funds are after the Silent Auction to see if 1 or 2 will be
awarded.
Finance: Kim, nothing to report
Grievance: Bob, nothing at this time
Import: Mike, nothing
National Show: Lisa, There are 22 head registered for the Junior Show and 33 for the Open. The fair has been wonderful to work with and has given everything that has been needed. Banquet and meeting is at 6 PM Sat. Then Silent Auction items have been on line. Have some nice award to give.
Performance: Kathy D, has made some progress with Zoetis® Genestar MVP DNA testing – need work order numbers from the people that have had tests
done in to have it posted on their Public Results on their website. We all need to be pulling tail hairs. We need to use the hair kits and not make our own.
Kathy has some kits, request from her. She will send Harriet some to keep in the APA office. The test is now for 59 genes, not just tenderness.
Show Rules: Lisa, nothing
Website: Diana, EDJE has been good at updating (Jay) Diana regularly checks the links to see that they are active and working. Question – Can the membership page be set so one can search by name? Diana will check.
Promotion: Dan said that an ad ran in the Lancaster Farming. Kathy put together a promotional display for the National Show. There has been quite a bit of
interest in MO.
Office Committee: Diana, as Harriet has gotten more into the program and information sent by Karen from the previous office she has discovered that there
is an issue with multiple breeders having the same herd prefix, 6 pages of breeders with duplicates and triplicates. The herd prefix will go to the person that
had it first. The later breeder will need to select another herd prefix. Papers will not be reissued, just fixed going forward. Harriet will send letters to those
breeders with duplicate herd prefixes giving them a specified amount of time to reply with a new prefix request. (At this point someone disconnected, determined that it was Mike) Breeders / owners names on registration papers – the Junior name has to be on the paper if a Junior wants to shows that animal.
There is a limited number of character spaces for names, and with a listing of family names, complete names will often not fit leaving off the last name.
Each Junior member will have their own breeder number and be listed separately (first & last name) on the papers. To search the data base of animals,
Harriet needs to search by an animal’s name or registration number. Often that number is not known, and with just a name, there are often multiple cattle
with the same name. The herd prefix or farm name will need to be included in an animal’s name to allow an accurate search. This is because of the way
the program works. Going forward the prefix or farm name will be part of an animal’s name.
Kyle H said that Kent Price died 2 weeks ago and had a question on how to transfer 3 cattle he had purchased recently from him. Harriet said no problem.
Old Business:
EPD’s: Lisa reported that the information has been uploaded to Brian. It was discovered that we only had 300 bits of information (birth weights, yearling
weights, hip heights and scrotal circumference) in our program and no “key”. We need at least 1000 for the EPD’s to be viable. Harriet has located in print
format the 2007, 1997 and 1995 EPD’s and that the same person, Dr. John Hough, had done all 3. She contacted him and he was gracious enough to
send the 2007 EPD’s to Harriet along with the “key”. When Karen had sent the information there was no “key’ and she wanted $1500 for the “key”. Brian
now has over 40,000 animals. We need to be very diligent to turn in Birth weights, yearling weights, hip heights and scrotal circumference and as a Board
we need to set an example. We now hope to have the EPD’s by mid-October. Breeders in TN can receive compensation from the state if they have EPD’s
on their bulls and some of those breeders are very anxious to have this completed. When at shows we should run our animals across the scale and gather
hip heights and scrotal information at weaning and yearling ages.
Journal: Lisa has been working on this along with Harriet. She figured that in the last magazine that Pam did there were ads to generate $5-6,000. Lisa
received a quote from a local printer for $4,300 to layout, print and mail 300 copies of a Journal. We have a new breeder that is a ag journalist and we
could have her do the layout and Harriet collect the ad revenue. Harriet also had some prices – the best from Staples, however it would need to be all laid
out and they would just do the printing. Currently we print and mail about 160 newsletters. 5 pieces of paper can be mailed for the cost of 1 stamp. Some
discussion followed. Lisa motioned that we do an expanded newsletter this fall and work towards a Journal in the sprint. Bob seconded. Passed.11Discussion of including a Breeders Listing, Buyers guide, National Show results in the fall expanded newsletter.
New Business:
Diana announced the results of the election. Diana and Dan were re-elected. Todd Andreshak is the new board member. There were too many members
from WI, so we will need to appoint a Board member from another region. There was a question of how many members actually voted. Harriet said 12
ballots were returned and that not even all the board members had voted. Diana thanked Bob Kesler and Lisa Wamsley for their time on the board.
Election of Officers:
Diana had from Mike nominations for President – Diana and Kathy D. Kathy D declined. Dan nominated Kim. Kim declined. Kathy D nominated Mike.
Dan nominated Kathy H. Nominations closed. Attempts were made to reach those not in attendance for a vote. Diana was re-elected as President. Vice
President – Diana nominated Todd Andreshak, Kathy D nominated Mike. Todd was elected as Vice President. Treasurer – Kim was asked if she would
continue. There were no other nominations. Secretary – Kathy H was asked if she would continue. There were no other nominations.
Appointment of a new board member to fill the open spot: John MuNutt from the southeast and Lisa Wamsley from the southwest were suggested. After
some discussion it was decided to appoint Lisa to fill the open 3 year term.
Next meeting: December 13, noon CST.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectively submitted,
Kathy Haskell, Secretary

American Pinzgauer Association
Annual Member Meeting
Sedalia MO August 16, 2014
~ Unapproved ~
The meeting was called to order by President, Diana Beckius at 6:00 PM. The secretary read the report from last year’s meeting. Craig Hooks motioned to accept, Jerry De Smidt seconded. Passed. There was no Treasurers report as Kim Paul was unable to attend.
Old Business
Performance Report: Lisa Wamsley. Update on Zoetis® Genestar MVP DNA testing. Kathy Dombrowski has been working with Zoetis® to have the
Pinzgauer test results posted on their public results website page. We all need to be pulling tail hairs and having MVP DNA testing done on our
cattle. Harriet will have the hair pull kits in the APA office or contact Kathy Dombrowski. EPD up date. The Board has passed to run the EPD’s and
the process has begun, however, we discovered that when the information was transferred from the previous office, there was no ‘key’ to connect the information. They wanted $1500.00 for the ‘key’. We have 300 bits of data – birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, scrotal circumference, hip height; and we need at least 1000. Harriet Thoms in the APA office, found the person who did the EPD’s in 1997 and 2007 and he
gave us the 2007 information and the ‘key’. Members need to send in all this information on their animals. When at a show try to run your animals over a scale for weights and get the hip height at weaning and yearling ages.
Registry Office: Harriet Thoms is here, so if you have any questions see her.
APA Apparel: This is done by Aunt Lulu and she gives us back 5% to the APA. See the information on the APA website.
Journal: We are moving forward. There will be an expanded Newsletter this fall with Breeder information, National Show results. To publish a
Journal we need advertisers! The ad information will the in the expanded newsletter.
New Business
Herd Prefixes: Harriet Thoms in the APA office, has found that there are multiple breeders with the same herd prefixes. There will be a letter going out to these breeders. The breeder that had the prefix first will keep it and the other will need to select a new one. If a breeder doesn’t respond to their letter a herd prefix will be assigned. When registering the herd prefix or farm name need to be in the animal’s name. This will be a
requirement and it will be for your own benefit. Junior members will need their own breeder number and will need to pay Junior dues.
New Board Members: Lisa Wamsley and Bob Kesler are off the board and were thanked for their hard work. Re-elected to the board is Dan Hunsberger and Diana Beckius for their second terms. Todd Andreshak was elected to his first term. There were too many Board members from WI;
bylaws state ‘no more than 3 from a state’. Lisa Wamsley was appointed to fill the open Board position. Officers for the year will be President –
Diana Beckius; VP – Todd Andreshak; Treasurer – Kim Paul; Secretary – Kathy Haskell.
National Show for 2015: Show will be in Sedalia as we made a 3 year commitment with the fair. This year’s committee; Lisa Wamsley, Jerry De
Smidt, Diana Beckius, Kim Paul and John Ulhman were thanked for all their work in putting together a successful show.
Question from Bob Kesler: In the bylaws it states ‘member in good standing; what is a ‘member in good standing’? There is a board member that
hasn’t registered any animals recently and this needs to be looked into. Another member commented that a Board member needs to have a positive attitude. Is there a process to deal with this – there is as we have a Grievance Committee. Other members commented on actions of this
board member being not good for the APA. The question was raised as to could we have this person removed from the Board? The Bylaws give
the Board the power to remove any member that conducts himself in a manner detrimental to the Association. Craig Hooks made a motion “to
have Mike Foshee be removed from the Board due to detrimental actions towards the Association, according to the APA bylaws Article II Part B”.
Ken Wamsley seconded. The motion was unanimously passed. There will be a short Board meeting after to consider this motion request by the
membership.
2014 National Show results: Thank you to all for coming. The show has been requested for 10 am next year. This year’s results:
Grand Champion Female and Bull – Woodhaven
Reserve Grand Champion Female and Bull – Springhill Pinzgauers.
Premiere Exhibitor – Woodhaven
Premiere Breeder – Woodhaven
Premiere Sire – 3C Rebel owned by Cheyenne Hooks
This year we did a Herdsman contest with the Juniors. Juniors were 15 and under, Seniors 16 – 21
Rookie Herdsman – Shelby Ferguson
Junior Herdsman – Austin Brown
Senior Herdsman – Cody Hooks
APA Scholarship: Cody Hooks received the $1,000.00 scholarship this year. This is a second semester scholarship.
Meeting adjourned. We all enjoyed a buffet for the banquet.

Cattle Feeding Tendencies - By Duane Mickelsen DMV
Cattle are grazers and browsers, eating a wide variety of grasses, trees and shrubs. Not having upper
front teeth, cattle do not nip off plants as a horse does but use their tongue to wrap around a bite and
break the food off with the movement of the head. They bite short grass with the lower teeth and hard
upper palate, but do not graze as close as a horse, sheep or goat.
One can estimate the age of cattle by looking at the front teeth. When two large front teeth come in
between the baby teeth she is approximately two years of age (fig. 1).
She is a full mouth at five years of age (fig. 2). When these teeth are as
level as a table top from inside to the outside of the mouth, she is six,
seven (fig. 3), eight and nine. After this the teeth become smaller or
Figure 1
some fall out from wear ,or biting on hard objects, and some cows between 9 and 12 years may have no teeth in the front and are called
“gummers”.
Figure 2
As ruminants, cattle can eat a lot of feed in a short time and then
they lie down and chew the cud and further process the feed more
thoroughly. Cattle have some preferences in the type of forages
they eat and also have some definite behavior patterns while grazing.
Calves learn much of their feed preferences by mimicking other members of the herd, especially their
mothers. Calves may sample their mothers hay when only a few days old and stick their noses in the
water when the mother cow drinks, following their example. By contrast, a hand raised calf may not
try to eat hay or grain, or drink water, until it is several; weeks old, or older. Orphan calves often do
better if they can live with an older animal to teach them the facts of life about eating and drinking.
Cattle will usually seek legumes over most grasses, especially as the grass gets older and the stalks
get courser. Most studies have shown that cattle prefer 70% of their diet as legumes (clover and/or
alfalfa) and the remaining 30% in grasses. Like human diets, cattle also are seeking certain levels of
protein and carbohydrates in their diets. Studies have shown that the efficiency of the rumen microbes responsible for breaking down fiber was best at that 70% figure of legumes..
It has also been noted that if cattle eat something that does not taste well, they tend to avoid that plant
in the future. Cattle will also avoid poisonous plants whenever possible. In fact, if the adults avoid
certain plants, the calves will follow their example as well.
Whether the diet is clover and tall wheat grass, or alfalfa and tall fescue the ratio was 70/30 for legumes to grasses.
Also cattle patterns seem to change during the day. What cattle want to eat in the morning can differ
from what they want to eat in the afternoon. One idea is that the levels in
14
carbohydrates is greater in the late afternoon due to the longer period of photosynthesis and more
time to store sugars in the plants. However, other researchers believe it may be because of the
higher fiber levels late in the day in order to fill the gut during the night. Then they would not have
to be up during the night grazing and at risk of predators. Cattle also tend to graze more on moonlit
nights rather than on very dark nights.
Figure 3
If there is plenty of good forage cattle will spend less
time grazing than when food is sparse or dryer. This is
because grass may be shorter, dryer and less tasty and
more course than young grass. If forage is too mature
and coarse, and low in nutritional values, cattle have to spend more time grazing (fig. 4). The dry
course feed not only takes more time to graze and eat but also more time chewing the cud and digesting the dry feed. At some time they may not be able to consume enough feed and lose weight.
This is when they need more protein such as a supplement to aid digestion and enable them to process the roughage. During the dry periods, and in the winter time, they may need protein or good
quality hay. Good quality alfalfa hay can provide the needed protein. If the cattle are on a poorer
quality hay then they will lose body condition and may not breed back, or may have delayed breeding periods.
Since cattle eat more in the morning, following long periods of darkness when they do very little
grazing, it may be best to supplement the cattle in the morning if they are still able to graze during
the winter months as this will stretch the pasture a little further.
Since cattle prefer young tender plants because they are higher in protein and lower in fiber, rotational grazing works very good. This is where the cattle do intensive grazing over a short period of
time and then are moved to a new pasture every few days and eventually will come back and graze
the first area after a few weeks which allows new grass to grow and parasite levels to decrease.
With season long grazing the preferred plants are over used. Cattle graze them again and again
while the older plants become mature and coarse and are seldom utilized.
Cows need energy to do well and have high conception rates, but too often this is interpreted as
needing to feed grain, which is inefficient and expensive. To correct an energy deficiency on poor
forages, do not feed more energy as concentrates, but make sure the protein supply is adequate. A
cow can produce all the energy she needs from very poor forages, but she must have enough protein to feed the rumen bacteria and protozoa, to do it. The best way to use poor forage such as
poor pasture or low-quality hay, is to add a little protein such as alfalfa hay or a protein supplement.
This allows the microbe population in the rumen to increase and thrive, enabling the cow to digest
more fiber. She can then eat more total roughage and turn it into energy more efficiently.
15
At Washington State University, a five acre grass pasture was not allowed to be grazed at all, and
after ten years there was nothing but weeds and no grass. Meanwhile, near- by, under a rotational
grazing system, not only was there always tender grass plants but also weeds that the cattle would
consume when allowed to come in every few weeks and graze the new young tender plants. This
also allowed the owner to nearly double the number of cattle on the same ground that was not used
in a rotational grazing system.
Ruminants can thrive on almost any forage because of the rumen bacteria that use the chemicals in
forage for their own growth and reproduction as they digest the feed and synthesize other necessary
incredients. They make a complete diet out of what otherwise appear to be only a partial diet. This
is what makes cattle such a great animal in the livestock chain.
Also don’t forget salt in the diet. Cows do not have the ability to balance their diet to meet mineral
requirements. The belief that cows eat mineral because they need it, is false. They eat it because
they want the salt mixed with it, or because it tastes good as a flavoring agent.

IT'S THE PITTS -- FOR BETTER, FOR
WORSE OR WHATEVER
by: Lee Pitts
I've been to two weddings lately and neither was inside a church. One was on
the beach at sunrise where the barefooted couple was joined in matrimony by
a pony-tailed preacher named “Big Wave Dave.” The other “non-traditional”
wedding was in an airport hanger. After the vows the betrothed skydived to
earth together, which seems appropriate, don't you think?
These days a groom can take their bride for a ride while river rafting, dog sledding and downhill skiing. A growing number of young people are even tying
the knot in romantic ranch settings. The advantages of a ranch wedding are
obvious: you can register for gifts at the feed store, the only Limousin involved
is a breed of cattle and Dear Abby is totally unprepared to tell you how to
stage the event. I, however am not.
Q. What should the bride and groom wear for a ranch wedding?
A. Lots of boots and buckles. No soft shoes, sidearms or handcuffs. The
bride should wear a white Stetson, a black one if it isn't her first trip down the
bridal path.
Q. What music should be played?
A. Your Cheating Heart.
Q. What flowers are appropriate for a ranch wedding?
A. No alfalfa sprout garlands in the hair or anything else that might attract hungry cows. You don't want your wedding stampeded by beasts who
think it's feeding time.
Q.Speaking of beasts, are guests still seated on the bride or groom's
“side”?
A. No. The groom probably has no friends and it might get confusing if
the two lovebirds are related.
Q. Invitations are so expensive, how can they be deleted?
A. Just spread the word that you are having a roping after the wedding
and everyone will show up, including several lonely cowboys who just want to
kiss the bride.
Q. Our only concern with having a wedding outdoors is that it might
rain?
A. Let's hope so. Spouses are like buses, a new one comes along every
ten minutes but a good rain is rare.
Q. Is there anything wrong with having the wedding guests sit on bales
of hay?
A. With the high price of hay the guests may take home your hay in their
pockets.
Q. How much should we expect to pay for a ranch wedding?
A. What's this “ WE” business? All expenses should be paid by the father
of the bride. The only thing the groom has to do is show up with his hair
combed.
Q. Our preacher refuses to marry us in a corral. Any suggestions?
A. Hire the veterinarian to be master of ceremonies. No doubt, he'll show
up late but get him to look at the lump-jawed cow while he's there.
Q. It is proper to throw rice at a ranch wedding?
A. Rice is not considered environmentally correct any more. Alfalfa cubes would be better... that way the cows will take care of the cleanup.
Q. Is it absolutely necessary to serve alcohol at a ranch wedding?
A. Are you serious? When the groom says he's “ going to tie one on”
he's not referring to a necktie or an apron.
Q. My future husband is flat broke. Do we need a prenuptial agreement?
A. No, you need your head examined. What do you see in this guy anyway?
Q. Do you have any other quick tips about having a wedding back at the
ranch?
A. Yes... watch your step.

TO THE FEEDLOT
HOSS
by: Baxter Black
Boys, I offer a toast
To that creature tied to the post
Who through all his ills and occasional
spills
Still gives us more than his most
He's black, bay or he's brown
Sorrell or spotted around
He eats that ol' hay even cows throw
away
And makes his bed on the ground.
‘Round machinery and pumps that paddle
And trucks and gates that rattle
By a mill that roars he does his chores
He come here to jis' punch cattle.
See them four brands on his side
The ones that wuz burnt in his hide
He's been around and covered more
ground
Than we'd ever care to ride.
For beauty he's often hard put.
Covered with mill dust and soot.
But in a slick pen or a mud and snow
blend
He'll go where you won't go afoot.
In dust so thick you can't see
He breathes the same air that you breathe
And in cold rain he feels that same pain
That numbs and stiffens yer knees.
When the sun's beatin' down on yer head
And the rest of the day lies ahead
He's dreamin' too of the ranch he once
knew
Where green grass and shade made a bed.
Yup, he makes every step that you take
And feels each ache that you ache.
And sweats, two fer one, every drop that
you run
And seldom asks for a break.
So before we mount up and start
Think twice of yer four-legged pard.
When he seems short on brains jus' give
him the reins
‘Cause boys, he's dang long on heart.
