Sammy is the only wagyu F1 calf concieved in his group of AI's and as such was raised as a singleton. He often spent time in the stall with my friend's miniture horses so that he still had a sense of a herd. We often joke that he was a spoiled only child and has now had to adjust to the reality that he is not.
