[QUOTE="SmokeStackFarms, post: 467707, member: 7061"] Thank all of you for the support, encouragement,knowledge and prayers. I don't care how long one does something, putting a animal down can be tough. If one embraces the responsibility of being caretaker of God's creatures and something happens, whether it could have been prevented or not, it chokes!! I hear the voices that speak like it is [i]nothing[/i]--my response is:-yeah, you can compartmentalize it--experience it in mass quantities--or what ever----I say be real!! When you invest you $, time , & passion, and reply 'oh, well...'---then you aren't shooting straight. Now, I am a real realist----"Life goes on within and w/out you"(george harrison). The status of my girl who went down is: I put her out of her pain this pm. I got her up a w/ hip-huggers --and the nerve damage had been only part of the problem---her right back leg appeared to have been possibly fractured when she first fell. This was the defining moment. Sidebar-PS-etc--My last heifer delivered beautiful 80lb red heifer yesterday afternoon. the mom has an abandonment problem---we have them in a small corral--moma isn't doing right.We can't get moma's colestrum into the calve. We tube feed her, bottle fed, but it is not looking promising. another day in the life of.... Thanks for allowing me to share and thanks for all of you guys who don't mind showing heart... [/QUOTE]
