[QUOTE="poultryrancher, post: 576512, member: 7064"] Thank you everyone for the kind words.....I knew his end was coming,and that's why I named him T-Bone....And I used to tell him every night while he was eating that "beef--it's what's for dinner". But when the end came...WOW.I was a bit more attached then I thought I was. He was my first large stock project. I've done poultry and rabbits (and lost and ate some...And never cried like this). Chickens die and you get used to it.No tears ever. But the steer was a bit different. It was like losing my buddy, who I worked with and roughed up every day and had to go catch wandering down the road. I guess he'll never really leave me--I still have photos, two scars on my legs and a broken toe to remember him by. To whoever said their son wants to do chickens....LET HIM. They are easy, fun and entertaining. I've been raising chickens since I was 11 years old, and showing them in 4-H for the past three years. I finally wond grand champion SR. showman thins year. So much fun. I recommend he start out with Silkies....They are bantams, really personable and great mothers.Their feathers don't have barbs like other chickens, so they feel soft like fur. By the way, I'm 17 and I don't typically cry over anything, so I'm sorry if I came across as a drama queen. I didn't mean it that way. Actually, I was kinda wondering if it was abnormal to cry over cow! [/QUOTE]
