"Don't befriend farm Animals" by Steve Adams

"Do Not Befriend Farm Animals" by Steve AdamsI learned early in life that farm animals were to be cared for but not turned into pets.  For obvious reasons, most animals on a farm are the commodity that the farm sells.  Any emotional attachment would most surely end with heartache.We had a heifer that we raised and had to bottle feed.  She was adorable as a calf and I ended up bonding with her.  Her name was Babe and she was so tame, I could get off the school bus, walk toward her in the field and she would lie down and let me curl up in her belly.  When she had her own calf, she would bring it over to me and let me pet it too.We kept Babe as breeder stock, so she was not going anywhere, but I was also keenly aware that I had broken a cardinal rule of the farm.  My fear was realized and my heart broken when Babe came down with a fatal disease called Fescue Foot. She was the last farm pet I had.Sponsored by the Caylor Group Financial Services. Call 434-455-7197Support the show#Political/Conservative/Judeo/Christian/Constitutional
