[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 624809, member: 3937"] I had a couple bottle calves that where like pets. Kids had them named "Lucky Charm" and "Caffie" Turned into very good old mother cows, both had 12-13 calves all good, in their life time. Anyway I could clearly see that their productive days were over. Thought about it? cows like that were bringing about .50 per pound and these were over 1300 pounds. Guess what I did. I'm a business man to. To me it didn't seem to make sense to just let them live out their lives on the ranch. Eventually they would need to be put down and probably be suffering, then I would have to go through the work of burying. I have more of these pet type cows that were bottle calves, very tame and easy to have around. They will go the same route. I think in the long run its easier for the cow and for me. I understand people wanting old pet type cows to live out their lives at home. Just not the way I will do it. [/QUOTE]
