Description
The tag on the ear shows just a number, but how can you look into those eyes and not see a soul. And yes, I know I'm a hypocrite, I do eat meat. (My daughter, the vegan one, is always reminding me that I really should stop.)Related content

Beautiful! I'm reading a book on domestication and the progenitor of cattle was the aurochs 155–180 cm and 1,500 kg. This guy with his horns and hair looks like aurochs calf.
Oh, and all god's chillins have souls. You can look into all four pair of eyes of a black widow spider and see her soul.

Reminds me of a funny story.
We had a horse suffering from cushing disease/syndrome which causes them not to be able to lose their coat. So one day we needed the vet to have her checked out. When he got to our place she was still in a paddock, so when we got her out for him he commented that when he saw her in the paddock he thought at first that it was a Scottish Mountain cow

That's a lovely story! Was the horse okay in the end?

At that time yes.
But eventually she got too stiff and one day couldn't get up herself anymore and I had to help her, so we had her put down later that day.

He is adorable and his curly hair in the front reminds me of a larger-boned chocolate poodle we adopted growing up. I agree they are all someones, not numbers. It's wonderful you have a vegan family member-- she can show you all the tips and tricks and that is nice to have someone by your side, exploring new things together.
PS - I see another commenter felt compelled to leave a half-compliment/half-degrading comment about the individual in your photo. That only reflects on them and shows what a compassionate and strong daughter you raised, to ignore comments she gets like those too.

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions and it really doesn't bother me. Thank you for your kind works.
