And for most ranchers, their emotional attachment to the animals forces a financial decision<br />n<br />nIf the rancher takes the animal to the sales ring, on its way to the packing plant, it could fall and be injured. If it's injured to the point of being a "downer," it can't be sold.<br />n<br />nThe other choice is to sell the cow to a butcher, pay a processing charges of around $300 in return for $1-a-pound hamburger.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI found this story very interesting. <a href="http://www.cattlemenfeedtheneedy.com/">This organization</a> takes cull cows, donates them to the Billings food bank, and the rancher gets a $500 tax write off. This looks like a really good deal to me. I occasionally take up an animal that would work good for this program and it looks like a win-win situation for all.<br />n<br />n<strong>Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.
