It’s no bull — it’s one big Holstein

 


 Mancos resident Sue Ehinger Simmons show off her favorite pet at home, Dilbert, an approximately 2,500-pound Holstein steer. Dilbert’s diet consists of nearly 40 pounds of hay per day and includes some other, more unique dining fare.

To Mancos area residents Dick and Sue Simmons, the phrase “That’s no bull” has a special and literal meaning.  The couple enjoys raising their 2,500 pound pure-bred Holstein steer, Dilbert, on their ranch located west of Mancos along County Road 37. He came to the family as a young calf from the Phoenix region as a 2002 Mother’s Day gift for Sue, and since then he’s almost become a family icon.

 “Dilbert is our big pet dog; he’s just a big baby,” said Sue when discussing the 9-year old steer. “He immediately bonded with both of us.”

According to Dick, Dilbert eats approximately 40 pounds of hay each day, along with a sweet mix of oats, corn and other supplements. In addition, he noted that the steer often snacks on special, unique treats.   “He eats water hoses and windshield wipers too,” said Dick. “Anything new, he goes straight for.”

Dick noted that when neighbors organize a cattle drive along Road 37, Dilbert grows excited and jumps around the property, often drawing attention.  “ We don’t think Dilbert even realizes he’s a cow,” he said. “He’s tame, friendly and just huge.”

With the upcoming 48th annual Mancos Days approaching and idea to walk Dilbert in the town parade seems fun, but a bit of a reach.  “I would love to enter the ‘Big D’ in the Mancos Days Parade,” said Sue, “but don’t know how he would react. I would put flowers in between his horns and braid his tail with flowers and walk him down the street. I can braid his tail and he doesn’t mind.”

In addition to Dilbert, the Simmons’ provide a home to a myriad of farm and ranch animals. They have 11 hens, two roosters, five cats, two dogs, two horses and Mai Tai, a pot-bellied pet pig.  However, it’s the company of Dilbert that the family seems to treasure and enjoy most.

“We figure the three of us will all die around the same time,” said Dick.

Jill Salisbury ... February 2003

This is the year that most of us are going to turn the BIG 60  well, last month our classmate, (pictured above in mid-air) Jill Salisbury, decided to celebrate it by bungee jumping off the Kawarau Bridge (142 feet) above the Kawarau River outside of Queenstown 
in New Zealand.  It is the world's first bungy bridge established in November 1988 and the home of bungy ever since.  According to Jill, "It was the hugest adrenaline rush I have ever had and that includes sky-diving". Well, I for one, will have to just trust Jill on that one!!!

 

WOW ... now look what Jill Salisbury did!!!  Above is a picture of Jill on her 60th 
Birthday, 9/15/03, hang-gliding at Torrey Pines.  That is Jill on the left next to the instructor in a cocoon like pad that enables you to glide comfortably.
