Cattle rancher's wife goes vegan: "Every marriage has its issues"
ANGLETON, Texas -- All cattlemen face challenges beyond their control. But not long ago, on a ranch south of Houston, Tommy Sonnen faced a problem of his own doing.
"You know, every marriage has its issues. It's not always easy," he said.
It all began innocently enough. Shortly after they got married six years ago, Tommy's wife Renee just started hanging out with the livestock. Tommy warned her ...
"Renee, don't name those cows."
But she didn't listen. Then she started singing to them, too. And before long, the rancher's wife had turned into a rancher's worst nightmare -- a vegan, who couldn't stomach so much as living with a cattle rancher anymore.
"He was just going to get out of the business or our marriage was going to be over," Renee explained.
Tommy agreed.
"It wasn't working. And I said, 'I'm going to sell the whole herd.' She goes, 'Well, if you're going to sell the whole herd anyway, why don't you just sell 'em to me?' And I said, 'Sell 'em to you!?'"
