Catch any more hogs Viv? No, I was with a stressed out calf last night..but he died. What happened? We had to bring some of them up so we could pen a cow that let her calf die..was taking her to the sale..the calf got seperated from his mama and spazzed out..went down and we couldn't get him back up..The was a BIG bull calf, a month old. Poor baby! That's sad!

It is soooooooo sad when little calves cry....my brother in law had a dairy farm and when they took the calves away after birth so the mama could freshen....oh my how they cried. I spent a lot of time in the calf barn lovin' and feeding them, and yes, crying with them. I would never make a good farmer cuz I could NEVER eat my critters

I get wayyyyyy to attached to animals. I always did. Now if we didn't need our protein & eat them maybe I could be a farmer.

I do love my meat, especially Iowa corn feed beef, but, I have to see it as a hunk of meat and not think of it as an animal. Goes for fish and wild game too. I cannot eat it if I see it being cleaned/butchered. Just give me the hunks of red meat. In that respect, I could become a vegetarian real easy if I thought about it too much.

Thanks Deb..but it's ok..I live on a ranch..it's part and parcel of everyday life here..losing that calf was uncalled for..but the hands didn't know what to do for him and thought he was better..but in truth he was in shock..I thought he was ok because that is what they said..so I went to the cattle sale and did a few other things befor I found him..

You have to remember...that is what they are for...to eat..by us or another animal..it's the food chain..they, the predators...would eat you in a minute and never think twice about it. Hear about that bear killing the campers in Montana yesterday?
