A neighbor of mine wanted to raise a calf to beef but she didn't have a barn or a big enough pasture for raising an animal that would grow large so we went in together on a calf. He isn't weened yet so he has to be fed twice a day with this huge bottle of milk and boy does he like it. He grabs that bottle and sucks her down with a vengence. I hope he stays healthy and grows up nice and big, so he will fill the freezer with beef.

You gonna eat that cute thing?! Oh, my.
Cute calf there. I've done a lot of cow paintings so feel a special bond to them :). You aren't really gonna k-k-kill this little guy are you?

Yup, he's what's for dinner at least for my neighbor and my friends. For myself I am a vegetarian or what is called at my age a 'Geezer Grazer'. Got heart disease (two stents and five daily meds now) and from what I have read going veggie is the best way to extend your trip ticket in this life. Seeing as I still enjoy living this life on this planet I thought it best to give up flesh eating. However I don't try to stop flesh eaters from doing their thing, but they have to clean up their own mess. Of course all this veggie stuff has been an experience for my system :)
Merry Christmas!
