why are people so cruel? i bought a calf from a "broker" as i found out later. when we were looking at it (now mind you, we're not cow people) we were told it wasn't sick, it was just cold (16 days old). we took it to the vets, spent 75 on the calf, and 50 on meds to try to save it and after 4 long days, it's dead. when i called the woman and told her it died she said "well, the cold will do that". um, it was in a heated chicken coop. it died of resperatory failure. i guess my only solice, is that for the last 4 days it got more love and attention then it could ever get in the 16 days before i had it. i hate people that are so cold, and obviously lied to make a buck. he's now buried in my yard, and tomorrow i'll make him a cross.

They may have known that he was not really well. Even if some sayy, it's 'just' livestock, they all deserve to be treated decently.....You tried your best. I know it does not make it better. It just makes it harder that the people that sold him seem so uncaring.
 
I'm sorry for your loss..
If you want another hit up the local daries..Sometimes they give bull calves away..Or let them die in the fields..a shame.
 
UGH!! I have been through this with my first little goat as well! SOO sorry! People can be big jerks!!

Poor thing. I'm glad you had him for a little bit so he could have some warmth, love, and good food for the first time in his life.

"Human beings are the superior species?!"
My best friend had two Black Angus calve last Jan during snow & ice storms! They calves are strong boys, steers. They never spent a moment in any heated space.
That lip about "Oh, he was cold." You KNOW that is bunk. That person was a schmuck, not worth a buck.
Again, my sympathy about the calf. You did your best, you are one of God's angels.
