Raised on a ranch. I've seen my fair share of poor cows that don't even know their dooms day when their worth is deemed unworthy of keeping around. Maybe that is why I don't eat meat. Papa always said, "Don't get friendly with the cows." I've seen more than a dozen calves tossed in the corner as they were deemed unworthy to keep around. Breaks my heart.
We were always given a calf to raise and show at FHA. We always knew that someone would buy it to eventually be slaughtered. How can you not bond with something so loving that would follow you everywhere? I'm a animal person. The only ones I had issues with were the hogs. My gosh...they can be MEAN.
Now, if you want to know how to make a chicken go to sleep I can give you a tip on that. My brother and i would toss back and forth a sleeping chicken like it was a baseball. Yep...not a lot to do on the ranch.
