Sad Goodbye
The first two calves I purchased were sold today. They were purchased on my birthday and have been on the farm since April. They are sisters and have become pets. I have to confess I named them (a really big mistake for me).
I have to confess tears were shed as the trailor pulled away with Split Ear and Little Sister. Their brother, Babies' Daddy, gets to stay for a while longer. I wonder sometimes if I am too tender hearted to be in the calf selling business.
Things I need to stop doing:
1) naming the calves
2) petting the calves
3) believing the calves have the same feelings I do
