[QUOTE="cowgirl Ibara, post: 486645, member: 6625"] I raise calves and I sell them at the local fair every May. But the calf I had this year is a real special one. First he got a terrible infection after castration and was sick for about 2 months. Next when fair time came he was black balled and not accepted as market ready because we had a first time judge out of school. She claimed that he didnt have enough cover of his ribs for her liking so he was booted out which ment he couldnt go through auction. But luckily DCB decided to support me and paid for my calf and gave him back to me to take home. Once fair was over and done I either had to find him a home in 4 weeks or my father was going to put him in the freezer. He had already cheated death twice so i thought what the hell with one more try. The last day before my father would call the butcher a very sweet lady came out and picked him up to be a pasture cow. She wanted to get her horses cow friendly so she took him in as her life long pet. 2 months later I got a call that he had gotten a hold of some bad feed and had bloat to the point where he could barely breath. She poped him and gave him antibiotics and within 10 days he was almost back to his normal self. He is one calf who has been through hell and fought hard to keep his life. He has won a long life in the shade ^_^ [/QUOTE]
