Does the hair really matter? Does it affect the taste at all?

I don't know whether to take you seriously anymore.  But I'll answer the question anywho.
Our Olde English Babydoll Southdowns have wool, and it probably tastes bad IN the meat, but in a wool sheep compared to a hair sheep, the taste is significant.  We do not eat ours because of their monstrous price tags, but if one, say, broke its leg, we would put it out of its misery and eat it.  Hair sheep are raised for meat, wool sheep are raised for wool, maybe meat, cuteness, pets, and show.

@Double W Cross Ranch well that was very informative

@Crazy_Carl Thank you! I learn most of it from my Ma, she knows lots about the little things.

That's interesting I guess.

I've actually never eaten sheep before, anybody wanna tell me what it's like?

It's pretty good if it's fresh, but mom got some old stuff once and it tasted like a barnyard.

damn you guys start a sheep topic already lol

I've had Lamb.

Great idea!

I like chocolate.  



...A couple more pages and we may make this a V3 thread.

It's crazy that it already has 19 pages and it was started this year!

yes it is. at this rate we will need to make like 4 this year lol

Last night was scary, had a tornado touch down 4 miles from my house.

Holy crap only 4 miles away!  We had a bad wind storm this week.  The top of one of my pine trees came down, but we didn't have any tornados anywhere.

Over here in kansas...... we've had one in our back yard but it touched down and then went away .

Right now we have snow/sleet all over.

So shouldn't a 14.5 hp ohv Briggs be the same shaft placing and length as a 12 hp flat head? A guy wants me to swap in my 14.5 into his rer snapper cause the engine is blown, and it's the black engine shroud year but I think the mounting is exactly the same. And he's payinge 150 for the engine and 50 bucks to swap it in . He's also driving from haysville down to where I am so i don't havto pick it up or anything.

Winter is back here in PA. yay...

Sounds like a good deal biggas, should swap right in. I’d be worried about the size of the head. Ohv is a lot longer

+2 On the head taking up more room. Also the exhaust will be on the opposite side as the carb, unlike a flat head. I know there's not too much engine room usually on those rear engine riders.

The snapper has the engine stick out the side, so the longer head is just put there lol. The carb is on the same side and the exhaust is on the other side but it looks like it should fit just fine.its a newer model of snapper but looks similar to the Snapp Dragin but stock still lol.

Oh okay, I see. Shouldn't be as difficult then, haha.

the money made from this deal might go towards the 820, but id rather get an 820 for cheaper . i could buy other trannys for less probably. if cq gets the peerless's from his supplier then that might be a cheaper route.

As long as the motor shafts are the same this should be a gravy job.  Even if the motor mounting holes aren't a perfect match, it would be pretty easy to just drill some holes.  You just have to pay close attention to crankshaft placement.

Out of curiosity what trans is this?

That looks like a Foote 4000 series or whatever. Might be one of the ones with hi and low range too.

you can get an mst 205 on ebay for 100 plus 45 in shipping.

If that guy is seriously asking $150 for it.  It would be worth his time to try and figure out exactly what's he's selling.  I'd e-mail him about it.

lol I don't even have $150
