          Decisions" and a proposed decision document in each case.                   
          Respondent's motion was recharacterized as a motion for summary             
          judgment and filed as such.  If we decide that the partnerships             
          recognized Schedule F income, then the parties agree the amounts            
          of Schedule F income reflected in the proposed decision documents           
          are correct.  Further, if we find that respondent's method for              
          calculating the allocations is proper, then the parties agree               
          that the allocations shown on the proposed decision documents are           
          correct.                                                                    
               These consolidated cases involved adjustments to partnership           
          income of Poison Creek Ranches #1 through #4 for taxable years              
          ended December 31, 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1986.  All the                     
          partnerships are limited partnerships formed to engage in the               
          business of cattle breeding                                                 
               The Court has previously considered the tax consequences of            
          the Hoyt family cattle breeding operations in Bales v.                      
          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1989-568.  The Bales case involved                 
          deficiencies in Federal income taxes of individual limited                  
          partners for the taxable years 1974 through 1980, who had                   
          invested in Florin Farms #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5, Durham Farms #1,           
          #2, #3, and #4, and Washoe Ranches #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6.              
          As a result of our opinion in Bales on May 20, 1993, Walter J.              
          Hoyt III, the general partner and tax matter partner, entered               
          into a settlement agreement (the agreement) with respondent's
