It could be a bull that has low birthweight calves thus a bull you would want to use on heifers, first calves and all. Or it could be a dummy.

That's a 'hookerized' (as some people call it) phone number. I do the same for my email address, even thought it is frowned upon. Helps keep bots from getting your # or email. Or that's the theory.

duck&chickencrazy :

I was selling my silver appleyard ducks, 2 hens, on craigslist and this guy emails me telling me he wants them. So im like "ok thats great when can you come get them?" He email me that he will come get them on Saturday at 7...7 oclock comes and goes, he never showed up for them. So im at least expecting an email explaining why he never showed up that night and i get one about a week later and he explained why he couldnt make it and that he would still like them. So i email him back telling him "anytime this week will work just let me know when so i can be home for you." sent that on sunday and i dont hear from him at all...then on wednesday night someone shows up at our house at 830 at night dressed in a suit and tie with a cat carrier saying he is there for the birds...I had no idea he was coming so I was sitting in the house in my sweats and tshirt...so as i quickly get changed he asks to use our bathroom because of the almost 3 hour drive he made and then we head outside (this was only a couple of months ago so there was snow and ice on the ground) to my coop and we have to chase the ducks down cause as i was saying i had no idea this guy was coming so i couldnt get the ducks ready for him...but it was pretty funny to see a guy in a suit and tie with really expensive shoes on chasing ducks down in the snow and ice lol...but in all it was the strangest bird sale i have ever made from craigslist...you would at least think he would have dressed differently to collect birds...whenever i go to collect birds i dress in my muck boots and jeans...and i at least tell the person i am coming to collect the birds...

Just read the story and laughed ! LOL, I would Not have let him use the bathroom
