Limi Boosters know where their food comes from and both understand that we raise beef cattle for the end product of meat. But it is one thing to have cattle you don’t grow attached to serve that purpose. It’s an entirely different thing when an animal you’ve grown attached to serves that purpose. I won’t sugar coat it. There are no heroics around the fact that the goodbye was hard. Heck, it might even make you question if growing attached is worth it. But in the end, I will tell you for our family, it is worth it. Life and death both teach us many things. They teach us to value each day. They help us to understand our role as agriculturalists and care takers. They make us grateful for our work, no matter how hard it can sometimes be.
