[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 627757, member: 9043"] I want to ask something. How many of you have a few cows that are named pulled out of the rest of the herd and live like princesses but do not show them? I do my best to stop this from happening they get there mom in with them and gang up on me. My kids would pick out a few calves every few years and treat them better then they treat them selves. They get 2 baths a week when the weather is good. Special food hand fed to them so they do not have to bend there head down. I have even seen them put sugar in there water because she thought it would taste better to her. They each have there own stall and know witch one is there’s. Half the plants disappeared out of the green house one year and were never found; yes they were pulled out roots and all, but still never found them. My wife bought two 50 pound bags of alfalfa pellets as treats but they decided it was a snack for 8 cows and was gone in a few hours. Bailed pasture grass and alfalfa left out 24 / 7 / 52. I have seen them try to roll a bail of hay to a cow so it did not have to walk 10 feet. Have a sleep over with a cow and were mad because I made them sleep in the stall not in there room. After 2 years of being treated like this it is hard for me to call them cows. They do taste good on the grill, but have to “sell them” when the kids are at school and not tell them I harvested there pets. You can not introduce them back into cattle life after being treated like this. Yes they have a pet dog that they picked out and lived like this for a week and then it was over and back to the cows. Once my oldest turned thirteen she pushed the others out of it a bit but we still have cows that will never be able to live as cows. [/QUOTE]
