As a baby, it lost its mother and we raised it up. We all took turns, we fed it, he was the primary guy, it would follow us around through the pasture, it was just very sad.”Now, as they mourn the loss of cattle, they look to rebuild the business they’ve lost.“Donate to the Abbey, 'cause that’s why I get so teary eyed,” said Jerry Spitz.You can donate to the abbey by clicking here.Top Headlines'Wreck a guy's livelihood': Shawnee rancher has been losing cattle rapidly and unexpectedlyState Superintendent Ryan Walters releases guidelines for teaching Bible in Oklahoma schoolsVideo shows breaching whale land on boat, throw people into oceanWhat we know about the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening CeremonyRalph Lauren goes basic blue jeans for Team USA's opening Olympic ceremony uniform
