1. Well, that explains why we have a shortage of medical services for humans.
   The rise of neo-paganism, placing animals back on a pedestal, as they were before the rise of Judeo/Christian morality.

2. What? The skinflints wouldn’t cough up roller skates for the back legs?

3. I would volunteer to remove the tenderloin.

4. It got frostbite in Virginia. How in hell did that happen? I barely freezes in Virginia. Our calves had to toughen up or die at 20 or 30 below but if it got that cold they usually spent some hours indoors to dry up. I don’t remember any ever dying from cold.
   I am always impressed when horses in the U.S. walk around with clothes when mine sometimes walked around with a foot of snow on their back.

5. “Vealings, wah, ah, uh, oh, vealings…”

6. $40,000 spent on a calf? Them’s gonna be expensive steaks.
   Charolais bulls weigh 2,000lbs when mature so the spending has just begun.

7. Kate, that’s a wicked headline

8. My father told me about a calf his parents raised on the farm. The calf froze its feet so badly that the hooves fell off. They bottle fed the calf then put it in a pasture full of rich green grass where it didn’t have to walk to get food or water. That fall they butchered it and discovered the meat was so tough they couldn’t eat it.

9. It has the end of the tail switch missing as well…froze off also?
   And the horror! holstein hind legs on a charXbred.

10. A triumph of veterinary medicine. Nothing more.

11. Which has the added value of reminding me of the joke about the guy who takes his not-to-be-made-fun-of funny-looking three-legged pig, which saved his owner’s life three times, into the bar…

12. Second millennium 4H project for the future farmers of America that never wanna grow up.
    I would imagine that one of the deciding factors of reaching maturity is realizing what is economically worthwhile and what is not necessary as it moves nothing forward.

13. You are going to hell with that title. I’ll be right next to you given how hard I laughed. 🙂

14. Alternative headline: How to tell you not for profit has to much funding.
    Just think how many other cows they could have saved with that 40k. /s

15. Good thing the calf didn’t half to rely on the VA to get treatment.

16. Cow only has two legs?
    Would it be considered lean beef?

17. perhaps they could lend some help to the the US VA system and improve the quality of life for humans who defended their nation….
    Where i learned to ranch, we called that Sunday veal!
    You can’t make this stuff up.

18. WOW! Words truly escape me. The only thing that comes to mind is “You can’t fix stupid.”

19. So. This means steaks on the hoof is now a passe expression?

20. Waste of money and a missed company BBQ opportunity!!

21. What was the punch-line?

22. Whatever you do, make bloody sure there are no loaded firearms anywhere near that calf, you never know, right.

23. I happen to know that you are more than smart enough to deliver that one correctly…

24. What Kate was trying to say with that headline was, “Knock the horns off, wipe its butt and serve”.

25. “Because You Wouldn’t Want To Eat A Nice Calf Like This All At Once.”
    And that folks is the best line of 2014 hands down.
    Yeah, I know it’s early.

26. Blade Steak Runner?
    I have to echo others – that is the best title ever! Brava Kate.

27. Sick.

28. Behold the future of bovine law enforcement. RoboCow.

29. Another tale of the age of superstition.
    You caught the whole flavour of this story Kate in one headline.

30. What constitutes cruelty to animals any more?

31. At least this was done for a species that is valuable to man. The same page showed a coyote pup who was getting the full ride after getting singed in a brushfire. Didn’t anyone have an AR handy?

32. ” Stumps, you gave me stumps, I wanted blades.
    I’m so mad I could kill someone.”
    I’ll be here all week, tip your server and don’t forget to try the veal.

33. A very mooving photo.

34. Is it house trained?

35. I hate the taste of plastic with my beef shank in soup.

36. Lost: High maintenance brown Wagyu cow, answers to Michelle.

37. If that was mine I would have cut the other two legs off and made it even. It would have been………..(wait for it)……….GROUND BEEF. Slow day.

38. Only if it lost the right two legs. Or the left.

39. Yeah well I’m very attached to me dog…..perhaps he is the glue that holds me together….but this seems foolish and a wee bit cruel to me.
    Perhaps there is something learned here that will benefit our lads who come home with a few thing busted or missing…..hopefully.

40. Meanwhile, don’t try rescuing the unborn at the abortion clinics. Why is it heroic to save this calf but Linda Gibbons, for example, is despised for trying to rescue human lives? “On and off, she has spent more than 10 years behind bars for her anti-abortion activities, breaking several injunctions over the past 18 years for getting too close to abortion clinics.” (National Post)

41. yah, and my beef barley soup is too hot

42. Holy cow! I mean holy lost business opportunity for Mr. P.T. Barnum and the Ringling Bros.

43. Fake legs for those missing from a cow.
    Hmmm…..Maybe they can find a fake brain for the one that’s missing from Justine’s head.

44. Call the sheriff! That cow was rustled off the Pistorius Ranch!

45. I hope this bovine will be able now to live out it’s dreams. Get an education, see the world and have a family. I hope I am not imposing my own views onto this “poor” animal.
