[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 68799, member: 1292"] I understand where you are coming from. I was born and raised with cattle and have my own operation now. There is no difference in the pain of an animal dying or the pain of an animal going to slaughter. Either way they are no longer with me. You find a way to deal with it. I do it by being involved in every aspect possible and researching the aspects I can't be involved in. It is understood that I am there to help load the cattle and then the truck does not pull out until I am in the house. Some laugh but usually, when the trucker hears me calling their names as I'm loading, they get the idea real quik how much I care and how hard it is and abide by my wishes with no problem. I have a good cry. Then I think of the good life they had. I remind myself this is why they were here in the first place and that they could have a lot worse end. Laying around sick and in pain until they are either put down or dye of their own would be a lot worse. Remember - nothing lives forever. Treat them well and enjoy them while you have them. Then go play with the calves! [/QUOTE]
