I wasn’t sure how much cattle cost, but I guess it never occurred to me that a single cow is worth almost $5,000. Edit: Gosh, I hate to actally have a real discussion in between all the fun we’re having…but if one had a few acres, how much could one profit from raising a single calf to full delicious adult meaty-ness? ---

Maybe I was raised differently, but I thought “share” meant you had an excess of something and gave, say, half of it to someone else, just to be nice. Or at least that’s how I’ve always shared _my_ amazing beef. ---

Don’t forget to account for the countless dollars in psychological damage you’ll suffer from having to slaughter an adorable cow. And I had named him Steve! ☹ ---

Kate is trying to rip you off - we get our quarter for $3 And it is sooooooooo good. Or maybe she is selling golden calves? ---

Wow I can’t believe it. Not since the days of umkay has the SDMB been shaken to its very core by the outing and banning of a beloved member. I still can’t believe that Kate wasn’t really interested in getting to know us or possibly even saying “Hello!” She was so convincing too, from beginning to end. ---

Regarding banning, I’ve sent a PM to Colibri. I know that I am possibly fighting an uphill battle here in the circumstances, but just thought I should mention it here. I have no criticism of anyone for banning her, I just think that the cricumstances could be relaxed here.
