Just wanted to report that Cinnamon is finally off milk and on full feed. She is very short, but very wide with excellent hair. Picture is from this week when my daughter took her to school for their end of the year petting zoo.
Well...Cinnamon made it to her first cattle show. (More as a Mascot than anything.) She made the trip from Wisconsin to Missouri like a trooper. To our surprise she was named Champion Percentage Female. She is still short....but the judge kept saying how structurally correct she was. My nine year old daughter created Cinnamon's own slogan "From Bathtub to Champion." We are aware we still might have issues down the road...but we are enjoying life's little miracle at the moment......
As it goes with the livestock industry...you have your highs & then there are the lows.......
Cinnamon got a touch of the Pneumonia in this inconsistent weather we are having. As we had always suspected...her lungs were underdeveloped and even with all the vets help...she could not overcome it....she passed away Friday 9/6/13.....you tell yourself not to get attached to them.....but..........it's been tough on our family to say the least.....
