Cow Bio - Leon

R.I.P.

My favorite calf goes to auction tomorrow morning.
When the calves were put out to pasture this spring Leon decided to befriend me. He's got a small problem with his hips that makes his back leg steps about half what the average cow steps. Rather than take more steps or speed his pace, Leon is just the last calf anywhere. He takes his sweet time. So I wait at the gate for him to saunter up. If he's hungry he'll walk on by. But more likely than not, he'll come up to me to wrestle. He usually wins. I pet him. He's my pet.

The present tense part of all that is a lie.
