Imagine you are the same.

I know better, but I always feel like I failed them somehow, when I lose one. Reckon if I lose that compassion, I'll quit ranching.


Yep, you said it friend. I feel like I let her down or failed her, dammit. We care greatly for our highlands.

We butcher our steers etc, and keep things in perspective, but losing one like this just stings like hell, she was a sweet cow.
