Bottle calf! Some say I'm crazy...

WE have cattle in our little town fairly regularly. Not a single calf on a halter. Generally 100+ pairs followed by people on horses and a few cow dogs. The wife said there was some doing that this morning. A man and his daughter on horses and another daughter on a quad. Knowing who it was I think he had 3 dogs along for the trip.
I have never seen them in downtown in Baker City but I have seen a herd of several hundred cows go down a busy main road on the edge of town on Sunday morning. Right past 3 churches, the hospital, several of the biggest businesses in town, housing developments, over a main line rail road tracks, and over a freeway overpass. Nobody here asks dumb questions about the cows. Just get to one side of the road and slowly drive through the herd. Or the tourists pull over and sit there slack jawed in amazement as the cows march by.

Bought a pickup on a auction Monday almost to I 35 and was going to drive it home and decided it would be better to haul it home so I went today with a trailer and picked it up.

They had good chicken strips at ASAP on the east side today. Town has grown over the years to what it used to be. Hopefully they get the work on 412 done faster then they did the first time, they worked on it the whole time I was growing up.

The cow is Cindy Lou!!
My old neighbors bottle calf. The one that Rosie had that Rosie would not claim!! I know. It's a lot to remember. Rosie was that lil short black bug-eyed cow I had years ago. Never dreamed anyone would've kept a heifer off of her. The bull calf is a Son of Big Sexy sired. My ol Herfeford bull. I gave thought to buying the bull calf but I have since went a different direction!

She's doing a fine job I'd say.

Edited to add...
Cindy is just as Gentle as Seven. Maybe even more so. He tells me, he puts the kids on her back and walks her around the yard occassionally.
