Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED CORDS.
Bos taurus [Black Angus], it's what's for dinner. Angus is the business breed. This Breed of cattle has a rich, interesting, and well documented history. The American Angus Association has played a big role with the breed. This puzzel cache will teach you about Angus and its history. Websites are listed below.

This breed has also played a part in J's life. He showed live stock in 4H for many years. We got permission from his parents for placement.

Bovine themed cache. In the cache when placed was: logbook and pencil, Longhorn figure, Holstein sun catcher, magnets, pencil, 2 birthday cards, Holstein and farmer, Bumper stickers, 2 rulers, and a squishy cow.

FTF prize was going to be a pound of frozen Angus but we thought it was getting too warm.

DO NOT TOUCH THE FENCE!!!!!! IT IS ELECTRIC!!!!!!!!! and a good one.
