A new calf

[Thewife]

Of course it's a bull, he's just too pretty!
Sorry Kitty.

Okay, here's Admire's bull calf. Sorry it took so long.

Nice looking calf.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Yeah, he is. It's to bad it's a HE. Oh well.

 

[wynedot55]

he is a goodlooking bull calf.

would it be better if I said HE looks delicious. or HE looks like he'll bring a pretty penny at the sale?

Well my calf buyer won't be up for a while so, he'll be going to the auction barn.

See then, HE will bring the Big Bucks. Or so I am hoping for you. I sold my Highland cow the other day, got what I wanted for her (not what she was worth) but she went to a great home as a pet/breeder and thats all that counts. Sometimes with cattle, selling is hard. I don't feel that way with the boys, thank God. Maybe cuz' thier so DELICIOUS.

Selling is especially hard to do in your situation. I'm glad you were able to find a pet/breeder home for her.

Me too.....I mean, we raise our own meat, it's not as if I don't want her to go beacuse I dont like the idea. It's just that I put SO MUCH work into her, she will lead, tie (collar, horns or halter), pick up all feet, loves to be brushed, touch her anywhere, etc. AND she is an easy calver, great Mom and good looking. It would have been such a waste. I do that to all my babies, but I got her as a pretty much unhandled long yearling......pretty daunting, with those horns.
So anyway. I am feeling better though, I am back to my quiet job as of yesterday, taking it easy. the cracked ribs are still paining me though. but I am surviving.
