We raise our cattle like our family when they need us we are always and I mean always there.<br /> I am getting a little tired of these people that have no business raising cattle as they are abusive in their own lives I am sure. They create a negative message for us that choose to do it right and with the dignity and great respect our cattle deserve. There are way more good apples than bad thank goodness.<br /> I have no problem with peoples food choices but you should really think before you write and get your facts straight. My cattle too live better than a lot people I know.<br /> Love the photo of those Herefords my favourite.

I was just on the Canadian version of the Mercy for Animals group website yesterday (I think they are a subsidiary) and was amazed at the overwhelming assertion that being a vegetarian saves animal lives - what about the rodent and insect deaths due to grain farming/gardening?? That seems to get overlooked during the vegetarian arguments. I believe that everyone should make the diet choices that are right for them based upon ACCURATE information.<br />And congrats on the new job!<br />-KarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-38497792831001560592011-10-14T12:03:42.669-05:002011-10-14T12:03:42.669-05:00Sarah, thanks so much for your comment, and I agre...Sarah, thanks so much for your comment, and I agree with you. Although, I promote diet options, veganism doesn't prevent animal cruelty. Farmers and ranchers are going to have to continue to research and improve their practices, and work towards getting these bad apples out of our industry.Crystal Cattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510248725846780674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-34096495843774771462011-10-14T11:58:11.766-05:002011-10-14T11:58:11.766-05:00Thank you for the post and your thoughts on the su...Thank you for the post and your thoughts on the subject. Animal abuse at the hands of a tiny minority of farmers and ranchers is something that the whole community of agricultural professionals has to address every day to, hopefully one day, eliminate. Sadly, these minority stories get the majority of the media attention, causing consumer distrust and more work for the farmers and ranchers who do everything right and in the best interest of their animals.<br /><br />I really don't understand how people equate the world population becoming vegetarian with better care provided to animals. If no one ate beef, no one would care for beef cattle. Ranches wouldn't raise and care for cattle because no one would be paying for them anymore. There would no longer be an income stream and there would be no business. If no one consumed dairy, no one would care for dairy cows, and the same for most all agricultural animals. And I don't see everyone, because they're now vegetarian, deciding that it would be awesome to have a calf for a pet and raise it in their suburban backyard or high rise apartment to give it round-the-clock care. The abandonment of the animal agriculture industry would mean the abandonment of these animals and would result in horrible care for them (or no care at all), plain and simple.Sarah Laupanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894259596992002359noreply@blogger.com
