Just Deserts
Yesterday while preg checking the replacement heifers my oldest daughter made a great observation. While fighting with a particularly recalcitrant heifer she said, "Now I know why we eat you." How many cattlemen have you seen that are vegetarian? Most all of them love beef. It is kind of just deserts or revenge for having…
