a field on our property. We would have never considered eating it. Some of our neighbors thought we were crazy but so what. He had a name of course and anytime one of us came outside he would run up to the fence and greet us. And if we entered his field he would come up to us and rub on us. He was a wonderful pet who eventually died of old age after I had grown up and left home. Cows are herding animals and he considered our family to be his herd.
