The Cowboy Trail
Front-Ranger:
Also, when you sell the calves, who do you sell them to?
CellarDweller:
I'll have to find some of my cowboy pics to post here.

Cowboys spend a huge amount of time involved with the reproductive systems of their female charges. The euphemisms are funny. Cows are "bred back"; and another one is "freshened". That means for the cow to have a calf so she produces milk again. Can you tell us about the other two forms of cow ranching, butler? I assume you mean dairy and beef operations.

Sorry, I don't know anything about c&c....I just found that link and thought it would fit here....they sell the calves, after they reach a certain size/weight, at livestock auction houses...I don't like to think about it after that...
and now for something completely gorgeous...
