The Orphan


I was on a ranch in Southern Arizona a few months ago doing some art work and I came across this little girl whose daddy was helping her feed some milk to a bum calf. It was such a great scene, but it had a deeper impact for me. I remember being given the chore of feeding bum lambs and calves on my Grandfather's ranch when I was a small boy. It was an important job for me and I remember what powerful little suckers they were. If you didn't hold on really tight, they would suck that bottle right out of your hands.
