Ginger's life was all gone ,. she had a white sockt calf about the 1st week in dec ,. this last sept,. I sold off 3 old cows, and I really should have included Ginger but she always was a fall calver , and I chose to keep her , and she had a pretty red heifer with sockt feet and a white blaze ..So it it is just as well ,. she deserved a natural death ,. instead of becoming McDonald yuppi meals ,. She was the Gentle Voice of the ENTIRE herd ,.. the bull mourned for her and cussed at me as I pulled her out of the pasture,.. Ginger lost her own mother shortly after birth ,. she was given to my pal and friend Rick Easter sunday , spring of 1998,. he recalls bottle feeding her in the old shed he tore down in 1999 and built his barn -shop the following summer,.. when he suggested her age last fall , I protested his accuracy, and declared Ginger is the picture of health! .He said my barn Shop has been there since summer of 99 and I bottle fed Ginger in the old shed a yr or perhaps 2 before that ,. perhaps even 1997,.. I bought Ginger from Rick fall of 2006 , she had raised him 4or 5 calves and was real buket baby ,and would remain so all her days .
