Cows are great, when my dad was alive he farmed these animals. He did it with such love and care that i never worried about eating some of their meat (we always got a little meat from our own cows when they went to the slaughterhouse). Because i knew the cow had a great life because of my dads care. It's imo not wrong to eat animals, it's wrong to abuse animals because they become food one day. Farming animals is not something bad, farming animals in an abusive manner is... They are living creatures, not products.

They also like to play and goof off. :)

To those making jokes about eating the animals and how they taste, until you've been to a slaughterhouse and bolted a cow yourself, you could maybe keep your oh-so-funny comments to yourself. I guarantee you wouldn't be able to crack any jokes if you had any idea what happens there.

All animals are deserving of kindness and respect no matter what their species or their use, or lack of use, for humans.

The day a my son hugged a calf and it it leaned into him and licked his face was the day I stopped buying beef.

A lot of these facts are based upon what the human gets out of it. Who cares? The cow (and all the other mammals in the world, and quite a few other creatures) all have feelings and sentience and none of them deserved to be corralled and tortured and killed for our convenience, but people do it anyway.

This is why I am Vegan - we have no right to take their lives just to have a meal!!!

Thank you! I love them all! Awesome animal!

Question for the OP. I see you have a fundraiser to buy pasture land. Do you know the acreage required per cow/calf? Where I live in the states it is 1.5 - 2 acres. You have 9 rescues and only 3.5 acres. That does not sound like enough unless you also feed them daily or else it will be grazed to the ground. Maybe the grass grows differently there.

I lived and worked on a 1,000 acre organic farm. I've been vegetarian since I was 11 and when I got there I wasn't really keen on working with the cows but was super excited to work with the sheep. When I left after six months, I dislike sheep immensely. Cows are the most amazing animals. They really are super loving. We had one mother break out of so many different paddocks in order to find her baby. She was not going to be separated from her. I don't remember why they'd been separated because we usually let them stay with their babies. Either way, she was amazing. Just proves that they are just these mindless creatures. They love. They feel. They have a hierarchy that is fascinating to watch. We had a barren lady who was like the nursery teacher. She'd gather up all the babies and take them off to play while the mothers were all off having a rest munching on some grass. Her name was Peace. My heart hurts thinking about her, she passed away about 10 years ago.
