Alexander was a downer at a stockyard - I got him right before Christmas 3 years ago. He was being auctioned off and continued to collapse over and over during the sale, so no one would buy him...He had to have the same surgery as Sonny - the removal of the umbilicus. He also had to have multiple surgeries on his back legs - both joints were infected and the assumption was he could not be able to walk or recover fully. He thankfully beat the odds. He is a very solitary boy - and the tallest of the cattle right now. He loves playing with Sonny and Orlando! - Susie Coston, National Shelter Director, Farm Sanctuary Visit Our Online Store Visit our store to buy t-shirts, vintage hoodies and DVDs.
