Good feedback, K. You had them for a long time and so much of your work revolved around them.

Yeah, pretty much everything over the past two years, you know I was thinking, scottish highland might be an option for you, they aren't minis but they don't get over 4 feet.

Id rather support a local beef farmer and let him do all that nasty part of the circle of life.    Like Gravel Road said maybe its an age thing?

 I was thinking of this as well, maybe even some bartering with a couple friends that raise beef critters.

Always have had a Hard Time putting a animal down for any reason.  When I was a kid we really didn't have a lot of money...I had to put my childhood dog down when I was 13 or 14...even dug the hole...there was no money for a Vet back then.  To this day I can't stand to think of 'Where the Red Fern Grows".

That book alone tears me up, can't imagine going through that, sorry you had to gravel.

Stuff happen's man.  My Dad grew up in the Great Depression and was a WWII POW.  I look back at it as a reality check and a bit of a growth experience... I tell myself it was quick and clean and the best I could do given the circumstances...defiantly has impacted my perspective on some things over the years.

Both happy and sad for you K.

I know you invested a lot into the boys, and Im sure there's an emotional toll.  In the end you gave them a good life and you'll be able to reap the rewards of that.

Well the boys are home

So as of right now this thread is done except for when I pick up the meat, I will be continuing it on the tanning thread.
