We got a cow!
And now for the rest of the story; Warren works for this guy Don, who is a cattle rancher part of the Oregon Country Beef. He raises cattle out of Oregon but during the winter trucks the cows down to Hawthorne. Well Norma's mother died a few days after she was born (sounds like just about every Disney movie ever made). Don offered Warren the cow to take care of for the next year, then in a year we will trade Norma back to Don for a steer that we will take to the butcher. Then the Feast of 1/2 Steer {Mr. Septerber 2008} will commence! It'll only be a half-a-steer cuase our buddy Shifty is paying for half of the cost to raise Norma so he will get the other half.
Norma was named after the calf in City Slickers named Norman, but ours is a female hence, Norma.

Man, if you had told me half a year ago that you would one day be the proud owner of a bovine, I would have said "why"? Now that you are the proud owner of a bovine, I guess I still want to ask "why"?
That is cool though, congratulations on the new member of your farm! What's its name?
oh, it's Norma.
HAHAHA, you've made me so happy. Can't wait to have Mr. September 2008 in me.
