Max Watts
1934 - 2008

     Max’s “cow sense”, technical and common
sense is unsurpassed. Most of us that knew
him had sought his opinion on how to solve a
problem, select an animal, or handle a difficult
animal.
     His knack for matching the correct bull
to breed a certain cow proved correct many
times. What his animal lacked in perfection,
he would overcome with his knowledge of
feeding, fitting and showing,
     An old saying, “The eye of the Master
Fattens His Cattle”, could have been written
for Max. If you knew Max Watts, you truly
knew a Master Breeder.

April 25, 2003  We were surprised by a visit from Shirley and Max Watts.
They were in the area and we were so glad they were able to stop by.

Shirley is an experienced Grandma.  
I need all the tips I can get.

Savannah helped Max Watts and GrandDad check out the bulls this afternoon.
