It's hard to believe that an 80-pound boy can control an 1,800-pound cow, but Justin Cuhna has spent two years successfully taming and training this cow, Crissy, for competition.
|
Young Justin Cuhna is crazy about cows! At only 12, Cuhna had already won 23 blue ribbons for his bovine beauties. Raising cows for competition includes grooming, feeding and training -- Cuhna has even bottle-fed calves twice a day! When not working with the cows, Cuhna's retreats to his room -- which is decorated in a cow motif and showcases his awards. There Cuhna dreams of growing up to be a dairy farmer.
