Tiny premature calf named Daisy

This calf was born Sunday June the 3rd and was nearly a month early. It is rare for a calf born this early to survive for more than a day or two since the internal organs are not yet fully developed. This calf was unable to stand and eat on her own for 3 days. The calf was fed with a make shift esophageal feeder and syringe filled with milk replacer. The calf is now doing well and stands and eats on her own. The White calf on the left is full term and a few days older than Daisy and the Black calf on the right is also full term and is a few days younger. Watch my video for the young heifer drinking beer. The young cow featured is Daisy's mother.

Why do you economize on exploiting sentient beings? Perhaps if you didn't, suffering like this wouldn't occur.

[cowman1970]

@thestreetsempty Because I'm unwilling to economize on eploiting the unsafe junk that you wacko vegans call food.

[cowman1970]

@thestreetsempty Gee you are really are a wacko. More sickness derives from plant material. Did you read that article on yahoo about the 5 dirties foods? Food recalls in veggies are much more common than beef recalls. I'll bet you keep your garden fertilized with your own vegan manure since it is GMO free. Humans are omnivores and also have canines dimwit. I'll bet in your case that means humans are partial vampire.

@thestreetsempty Human waste is the largest culprit, especially from countries outside the USA. Where do you think this "treated sewage" goes anyway? Even your organic foods (if you consume it) aren't as healthy as they claim. The vast majority of plant life on this planet is toxic to humans that is a fact. Food allergies are also a serious concern. I for one cannot eat legumes, instead I balance it out with fresh fruit and whole grains. Celiac disease is also becoming widespread.

AWW ITS ALL SCARED

[cowman1970]

No, not scared. Just curious.

i want to bash it's head against a wall, twist it's legs until they snap off, pull it's ears off, prick it's eyes with a needle...and then stomp on it's head until it dies

@cowman1970 And what is the bacterias and contaminants on some crops? Where do they come from? They are E. coli, etc. - all from ANIMAL WASTE, as I said.

We have cuspids, and horses have longer "canines" than we. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental and health hazard, and it is an industry of suffering...but, you know that.

Animal products make us ill. Plants provide all nutrients. Maybe instead of feeding livestock, you could help starving countries? Not profitable enough?

[thestreetsempty]

@cowman1970 Edible plants are only "unsafe" due to the use of waste from the animals farmed in animal agriculture. Of course, most crops are able to be naturally sanitized and effectively pose no health risks. In fact, plant-based nutrition is a way to facilitate proper health.

Unlike animal products, which are diseased, spoiled corpses and have a horror host of health consequences associated from the production of and consumption.

Yes, eating plats is so wacky compared to murdering animals.

This reminds me so much of my little HolsteinXSwedish Red, Misty! Same color and all ^_^ She was about a month early and was only 21lbs when we weighed her. Born in the middle of winter, we kept her in the barn buried under straw and a heat lamp. She's a big girl now and was just bred to a Montbeliard last month, and I'm already exited for her to come through the parlor!
