What the…

Some animals don’t make good pets either.

If I had a dollar for every call I get for a Pet calf… I should really consider selling pets. Had anyone noticed what people pay for a doodle? (cross bred dog or puppy)

Thousands! Then they need to get it vetted, feed it fancy food that costs about $1 a day or so. Yes, people think they are part of the family. That’s cool. A pet cow would do the same thing. Live longer, and have considerably less needs.

So they want a pet cow. OK!

Should someone sell them that one that shouldn’t be used for anything but meat? You know they won’t pay half market price like they would that doodle. Ok, I’m done on that tangent. For now.

See what I see? 

Oofda, glad this one I found won’t be sticking around. Mother and sire gone for that farmer. 

Don’t see it? I will explain. Shelly front end has toes that are not equal size, knock knee, and slight toe out. All scream “hard doing animal”!  Not even a good pet! Poor critter will lay down a lot because it’s not confortable to walk. They carry 60% of their weight on the front legs, so It’s important they have good legs and feet. 

See The Difference? 

It’s quite obvious. All toes even, and pointed ahead. knees broad apart, not bowing in or out. Stout short cannon bone, Brisket is right at the knees. Much wider, and deeper.
