[QUOTE="ToddFarmsInc, post: 702035, member: 8301"] A horse is a little differnt than a cow. Cows are born to be killed, even dairy cows are tastey. Horses are born to die of natural causes. I would cross a state line maybe if my horse was transported out of state by a horse theif, but if I got a check for that same horse I wouldn't. Also if I knew that same horse was several states away, I really wouldn't spend the gas to go get it. For me, there are more horses out there. Heck transportation costs for getting that silly steer probably cost more than the animal was worth. And, I guess that was my opinion. At the end of the day, it's just a pet. I love my dogs, but I wouldn't travel across several states to go retreave one of them. I love my dogs to death, but if one get's cancer I won't be spending thousands on chemo for the dog, it's going to take a permanent nap! Maybe it's just me, but growing up on a farm, I learned early in life that there's an end to every begining, and I don't get too broken up when an animal dies, or dissappears, even the pets. P.S. I got a pet Heffer. She is an orphan, was a bottle calf, bucket calf, now just lives in the corral by the house. She will follow me around the barnyard if I let her out, and she's halter broke, and I would love to ship her off to become hamburger as soon as she get's big enough. Problem with her is.... she's got some wierd mutant backward genetic makeup that is keeping her small, she might be a dwarf. She lookes more like a pot bellie piggy than a cow right now. I might have to keep feeding her for a few years before I can taste her. :banana: [/QUOTE]
