Robin, I thin...Happy Thanksgiving to you too Robyn!<BR/> <BR/>Robin, I think you have the right idea for the owner. <BR/><BR/>Rick, sure, in the beef cattle industry, that is where they end up. Eventually. The males of the species much sooner than the females, usually. To me, her worth was in her thriftyness, her mothering abilities. Those genetics are valuable to a cattle person. In my mind, she had much more value as a breeding cow than a market cow. I suppose beef hide could be considered fabric? I know I romanticized the whole incident too, because of what happened afterwords, but that part of the story hasn't been told yet. <BR/><BR/>Purple, I cannot even imagine a life in NYC.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998945782450878164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742650874369129320.post-3070250640234799582007-11-20T17:45:00.000-06:002007-11-20T17:45:00.000-06:00Well I'm a city girl - I grew up in NY and spent m...Well I'm a city girl - I grew up in NY and spent most of my life there so wildlife for me is mostly squirrels. We didn't even have cockroaches or mice - that's how deprived we were!<BR/><BR/>But how could you not love a face like hers?

I'm so glad she was not sent to market and think maybe that owner should be sent out into the cold to fend for himself for a while!?<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200500026568554814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742650874369129320.post-12804566211973121312007-11-20T12:30:00.000-06:002007-11-20T12:30:00.000-06:00I'm so glad she wasn't sent to market, she's so be...I'm so glad she wasn't sent to market, she's so beautiful and brave!
