A message from our Founder, Meghan🖤
He was magic.
He stole my heart the minute I watched him come off the trailer. Bound for slaughter the next morning, I knew that wouldn’t be his fate. He came in with sharp eyes, sharp hipbones and ribs, untrusting of anyone around him, and years of being overworked and abused. I remember the first night needing to check on him, under a full harvest moon, nose to nose. He knew he was home, and it was everything. Our Georgie thrived, put on the weight, softened his eyes and trusted he was safe. He became somewhat of our mascot. With his new custom shoes that helped him heal those years of just being someone’s tractor, he danced and ran free. Never once did someone not come in contact with him that didn’t fall in love. I don’t post often on the heartache our team goes through in choosing what we do, never will we be used to the heartache, but George was the truest symbol of who we are. Yesterday, on one of the first most beautitul crisp Fall mornings we found him laying peacefully and cold.
Devastated and shocked we had our vet do an autopsy soon after. We came to find out that he did not suffer and was dead before he even hit the ground. Completely healthy except for the ventricles to his heart were almost completely blocked, and the excess blood was pushing into his lungs causing the pulmonary edema. Sudden heart attack at 17 years old. Just hours before he was running and playing with our baby mule Wyatt. It is never lost on me this responsibility, and incredible gift that we have been given to continue our fight for these purest of beings to have a second chance at life. He is one of the definitive reasons our team will keep doing better, and never stop our mission.
So buckle up.
He was my special guy, and he will be home with us forever on the ranch❤️
