Animal Welfare Issues

With the recent  surfacing of the Mercy for Animals video, I have been thinking alot of how our cattle are treated at the farm. As well as how our sheep were treated, and chickens too. As a kid, each morning I woke up to feed, water, and care for all animals on the farm.  They always had shelter from predators and weather. Still today we raise beef cattle which do not go a day without seeing my dad. They are all counted and fed everyday. You see, my dad is a caretaker for his animals. He forms a relationship with all of them and would never think to put them in any harm or suffering. When we get yearling calves up for sale, they are fed, and easily worked into the trailer. No stress or physical harms comes to them during this time. Please remember that not all farmers act the way these on the videos do. We care for our animals and send a quality product to sale. We do agree with any of the action taken on the animals in the video and hope to see these people prosecuted. But consumers should not feel that this is what is happening across the nation.
