Hi Karen - It is in Seekonk. I know the 9 of 11 calves dying is true, because I extended sympathy to Justin's mom. She said she spent whole nights there holding the calf's head, one at a time, trying to will it to live. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore each time one died. And she confirmed it was because they tried to do things on the cheap with the wood.

Thanks Corinna, that is why I needed input from someone with a farming background. I realize I am citified enough to be very removed from how my food ends up on my table. (I try not to think about it.)

I'll wait to see if any more psots come through to give me some additional thoughts.
