You were so brave for posting this story! I grew up on a farm and now share a hobby farm with my farm boy husband. He keeps trying to talk me into getting a cow to raise and butcher, but I am struggling with the idea of getting too attached. But I do eat meat, so it is probably best to face the reality. Thanks for being so honest! I know this is an old post, but I just discovered your blog yesterday and have been exploring. You were so brave for posting this story!

We gave nice names to the girls because they were not used for food. If I named a steer (boy) I would name it something like Sir Loin or Wellington. That way it would always remind me not to get too attached to the ones that we would be eating. I grew up on a cattle farm. We gave nice names to the girls because they were not used for food.
