                                                    Wesley

                                                    Picture
                                                    Wesley was rescued as an 8 week old calf.  His life had been spent tied to a 10 foot rope, his home was a doghouse, and was starving... on purpose.  He was so weak his legs shook terribly trying to hold up his body.  He was intended to be veal and they are purposely starved and restrained from any movement.

                                                    Mindy talked the farmer into selling Wesley.  He is now a happy, healthy 2,000 pound loving steer who has no idea how big he is! 

                                                    Wesley just might meet you at the gate when you come to visit. 
                                                    His best friend is Chance the dog.  You can see they were once close to the same size.

                                                    Take a few minutes to watch Wesley grow up in the pictures below.
