I bought Leroy as a calf to use for roping- to teach our young sale horses to be roped off of. He must have been hand raised because from the beginning he acted more like a golden retriever than a bovine.

I'm sending some photos of Leroy for your enjoyment. When he first came, my ranch manager's son used to like to walk up to him and pat and love on him. The first time he got ridden was at a picnic I held July 4, 2019 when a friend put her 18 mo. daughter on his back while he was eating some watermelon.

One of his favorite activities was riding around in the back of the Gator. I've sent a photo of the last time he did that- He was already much too big to be in it. He also stands quietly for the farrier to get his feet trimmed. Silly steer. Enjoy these follow-up photos!!!!! Judy Donaldson Jefferis
