When we rescued Matthew we found out that he had chronic phenomena he was so bad off we were told he wouldn't live until his first birthday. When he lived past his first birthday, we were told it wouldnt be long until he was gone.
Because of his health conditions Matthew could never be with other cows. So he lived in our "gimpy" pig yard. He was a great friend to all those pigs...
Recently though, we were noticing some changes in Matthew... He was growing like a weed and healthier than ever! Matthew had to be moved to a larger paddock yesterday because at about 4 years old he out grew the available grazing in the Gimpy pig yard!
Its so exciting because we were told basically everything he has accomplished would be impossible for him!
I know he more than likely will not have a normal lifespan, but he is happy and healthy now and thats so exciting. We've had many scares with him but as of yesterday it feels like he'ss all grown up an not my little baby anymore...
Here are some pics of him... he is probably the most lovable little steer ever.
