You can't beat that California oat hay.
The only problem is that until their systems got used to it, you have shittin' good elephant acts.

Remember when there were 3 rings of 5 acts. Those were the days. Thanks for the memories.

This doesn't even compare to DR's 33 bulls on the show at about the same time.

"Hey, you know that Miller's Circus out of Nebraska?"

"Yeah the one with that old elephant, what's her name? Mena, is it?"

"That's the one, in 40 years they will have more elephants on the road than RBBB."

"You are crazy, Big Bertha here will always have more bulls then them."

"And.... in 60 years they will have 12 elephants on the road, but not Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey, you'll only see 10 maximum on one of their shows. No rings, maybe no cats"

'Get outta here, you crazy fool"

Almost happened earlier when the big one went off the road. Dory told me that when they went down to buy the light plants and a stake driver, John and Art wanted to know if they wanted any bulls.Well they looked the extras over that Ringling wanted to sell and came back to office and said that they would take all of them.
Art did the math and said no, as K-M would have a larger group then RBBB. Just took Dory a couple of years to do it.
