Question: but how can you love something that can't love you back?

Hmmm, let's see...ah yes, here we have it.

'Heart of Stone' has been used as a title of many songs, but I remember Kenny's 1973 debut song as the most memorable - great song, written by the same team that went on to pen many great songs for The Bay City Rollers. Wonderful stuff, but then I always liked my music laced with plenty of glamour. far as I'm concerned, the more eye-liner, the better...

Successful livestock farmers suggest that having a heart of stone is imperative - a barrener should go at the first negative PD, a limper killed before she gets worse, etc etc; in JDKid's memorable description 'the drys go to be pies in a heartbeat...'

So what's this stuff 'bout loving cows? If the mark of a successful businessman/farmer is NOT loving cows, does that make the livestock keeper who feels an attachment for his or her stock an unsuccessful one? Or a successful human being?

Hmmm... got to go now, to free a sheep that has got its poor head stuck in a fence, before it hurts itself.

Don't eat the cows but got Rosemary's 'young taurillion' in the freezer.

Had a couple of cows come a cropper in the last couple of years, and they ended up in the freezer. Making the best of a bad job doesn't bother me one bit

Certainly a few round here that probably shouldn't be - mainly Pip's young handler's calves from previous years now calving in to our Lim. Doesn't stop us eating the odd one now and then.

Cattle can certainly be genuinely affectionate towards certain humans ie you get treated like one of their calves - we've had those here and it's not about being fed either.
