Light colored cow = old cow. Dark colored cow = young cow. Is that right or other way around? Don't want a tough old one.

Don't shoot the one that the rest are all following. Shoot one in the middle... ah hell just shoot any one...

No, no, no, no old grey one for me, too tough.
One in the middle sounds good.
I like that idea. Thanks guys!!

Shoot the first one on range
old ones make good burger! young ones make good steaks! medium aged ones make both!

It depends if there are multiple cow tag holders present.
No, shoot a middle of the pack.
Yes, shoot the the front runner. The others will stop because the brains of the operation just fell over.

We have two cow tags for Dec. My goal is to have a freezer full of meat.
I hate tag soup
