One of Chances cows with her calf getting some breakfast.
18 year old cow and her calf. I will pull this calf off in a week or so and raise it on a bottle and let her fatten up to be butchered this fall. Her head will get mounted to hang on the wall. Don’t give me hell, it will be an easy and peaceful end for her. She has been on this ranch since she was one year old. She has always had a good life and I raise cows so I and others will have beef to eat. That’s the way it works. When I die they will probably bury me and the worms get to eat. So the cycle continues.

When I started reading “When I die … ” I got concerned about where you were headed. Tough ol’ varmint like you wouldn’t be good for steaks, I’m thinking, unless we were up on Donner and it was dang cold! Jerky or soup bone, maybe … 🙂
Too Funny! but thanks for more great pics…….
Could be worse, they might mount your head and have you “watch” for a while.
We always say you know when a cow is really old, when they are old enough to vote.
