The barn where I have Gus had cows that were slaughtered for their  
meat two years in a row.   I agree with Patty, they weren't very  
social and only came up around the fencing when it was feeding  
timesthe 2nd year there was one that was more interested in us (as  
people) and would come over to visit.


It was sad when they were hauled off and you knew what was going to  
happen to them.  Kind of hard explaining it to a 6 year old when it  
happened though!

At my house, we decided to do several meat free dinners a week - thereby  
reducing the total amount of meat consumed by us and we refuse to eat anything  
from a leading chicken restaurant as they came out as buying chickens raised 
and  handled worse than most places.
Every little bit helps.

is it your island that is flooding and homes are being evacuated ?
Yikes !   Hope you are high and dry today...Lisa
Thank you, Lisa, no we're quite high and dry (except for the  
rains and more rains).  No danger of flooding on our island (12  
miles long, good elevation, surrounded by Puget Sound with reasonable  
tides).  We'll only flood when Mt. Rainier decides to blow, but  
probably not at my farm - we're up a ways, and no mudslides either,  
fortunately.  :-)
