[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1014896, member: 17767"] Tammi, I lost a calf this week to a different set of circumstances. I got over it when I looked at the beautiful cattle I had in my green pastures. The fall calves came up to me and rubbed their heads and necks against my legs. I scratched their heads and backs. They didn't want me to leave. The smell of spring and cattle was better than perfume. Birds were singing everywhere. The rush of all the wonder around me over took the loss of a calf. I hope you find such pleasure to replace the loss of the blind calf. BTW, the disagreement you see on CT is not as great as it may seem. In my opinion, everyone can support their point of view. Cattle are a business and to make a profit is difficult. We all understand that. But no one should make the mistake of approaching cattle like they were a carpenters tools and truth be known, the people you see on here all have a soft spot for what I think is one of the sweetest animals under the sun. I watched my cow the past couple days as she handled the loss of her calf. She would not leave where she had it until I disposed of it. She still goes back looking for it. And bust my breeches and call me a liar if I don't see her mourning. I think I am objective and I acknowledge that what I am doing is tainted with a dose of anthropomorphism, but it is hard to keep such thoughts out of your mind. Here is my point, I know there are the pragmatic types like Bez (I am sincere when I say he is one of my favorite personalities even though he and I are very different) who will read what I said above and totally disagree, but my cattle provide me pleasure in ways beyond their economic value. My philosophy on raising cattle is unique to me as a person. I am not an advocate that others should follow that philosophy unless it is by example. I don't want that burden. It is one thing to provide an account of ones experiences and provide direction; it is something else entirely to become an advocate for ones style or philosophy.
