I read it and re-read it all the time. I love the words and descriptions and flow of the story. I would suck as a farmer too. But I think I would like to share my life with cows, horses, dogs, goats, chickens, etc. Thanks for sharing this wonderful insight. Thank you for this article. I read it and re-read it all the time.

I couldn't do it. I would get attached to every animal on the farm, probably even the chickens. I'd be begging and pleading not to send them to the slaughterhouse. And yes, it is a hard life. This is so beautifully written, it makes me want to run out and find a cow to hug. :-) I grew up in farm country. I couldn’t do it.

"We could all stop and look a little more.." And how I wish we could all be as observant and communicate our observations as well as you do. I grew up in dairy farm country in Ohio. I'm giving it to my husband, who generally is not a blog reader, because he helped on grandpa's dairy farm when he was a little boy, and he'll love the memories.

We give them names and know their family history. We don't sell off our old ladies, though. There's more to that discussion than will fit in this format. Come around to Oklahoma sometime. We'll let you feed the tame babies. Some of us US ranchers are about as bad as you. We give them names and know their family history. We don’t sell off our old ladies, though.
