yup.. schoolies were schoolies... students or rats.. back when 16" was a "keeper".. 10 -15lbs means they were mediums.. and that was only for market terms..... everyone I knew called 'em bulls... not cows when they got worth talking about( and of coarse no one did until after the fact)... even if they were female....
