It really began during the time she bottle-fed a wonderful cow she named Rowdy
Girl. That started her becoming uncomfortable and conflicted about being in the
ranching business.
She even experienced an emotional breakdown when she witnessed for the first
time baby calves being loaded up onto a trailer headed for auction. That moment
made her realize that what they were doing was wrong. But as a rancher's wife
who loved her husband -how could she tell him that she was becoming more and
more depressed.
Renee also confronted her husband with the argument that even though they had
cows, they did not butcher them but instead bought their meat from the butchers.
She asked him why and was surprised by his answer. "I can't eat our animals because
I know them!"
