We are pretty much in love with Buddy... it's why we named our BBQ Sauce after him. He's not just a steer, he's got a job and earns his keep. He's a valuable member of the Lazy JM Cattle Co!
At the end of the day, he is also family.
Buddy didn't start out that way though, in his humble beginnings, Buddy was meant to be dinner. I know! I know! It's hard to even comprehend... on a ranch... that raises beef cattle!!
After a lot of hard work ( so much work!), some warm bottles, and some snuggles, Buddy became a giant pet and we just couldn't imagine our life without him.
Life on the ranch is hard work. Everything has to earn it's keep or it just doesn't make sense to have it around. So what does a giant puppy Steer do to earn his keep?
Babysitting of course!!
He just happens to excel at teaching the others the ropes on the ranch! Can you believe he even knows his name? Gentle, yet full of spunk, Buddy has consistently taught the next generation how to act and respond on the ranch. This makes for non-stressful transfers from field to field and has allowed the babies to feel safe and comfortable when
it comes times for them to leave their mamas.
Buddy is a huge puppy dog, I mean steer, and loves his job and takes his job very seriously as you can see in the video. All the babies were just brought up to the barn and he was bringing up the rear. All present and accounted for. Job well done!
Thanks for all your hard work Buddy! We love you!
