Sweet Henry

Henry has fallen off some since last fall, but he is still hanging in there. And if there is grain to be had, those arthritic knees work pretty good!

This is from one day last week.
The video and remaining pictures are from last night, May 20, 2016.

Henry is still looking rather "wooly", so Patti decided to try brushing him today. This is the "before" picture.

This is the "after" picture.

In case you didn't notice the Henry-hair in the previous picture, this shows how much came off and is lying on the ground for birds to use to create nice soft nests!
Henry is missing that nice young lady who used to brush him and wash him and show him off in cattle shows!

  1. It makes me very very happy that one would love a cow like you have. I think they are a fantastic animal. Driving trucks I see many of them and it breaks my heart when I come across feed lots and the "other" I don't even like to say the word.
    Thank you for loving Ginny.

  2. Henry was niece Ginny's show bull, and has lots of descendants in the herd here. He is so gentle and easy to get along with. He gets to live out his life enjoying what he can - including having "bull sessions" with current bull Pokie about once a day or so.
