Your comments are inspiring as this is a time of year on our farm where it can be frustrating and gratifying all in the same hour. As cattle producers we endure challenging weather conditions such as snow that can make it just a challenge to feed cattle. I take it very personally when HSUS and PETA 'dis' livestock producers for mis-treatment of livestock (there are bad eggs in every industry.) My entire life has been scheduled around the well-being of our livestock, as a result vacations have been cancelled, appointments have been missed and schedules have been modified. While it can be disappointing at the moment, I understand the long term benefits and this is why we chose to raise children on the farm. We hope they understand responsibility, the paybacks of hard work, and the sacrifices made to achieve a goal. Claire, Thanks for the read.

Makes me think about my relatives that lived off the land for generations before I was born, and that my own mother once had to do chores before school. It grounds me to think about the fact that my mom and dad both had farm animals in their yards growing up. One was a city kid and one a country kid. We've stepped too far away from our roots. Makes me want to put on some chore boots and head to the barn with my uncle. Nothing like a little fresh air and hard work. Farmers rock. Well framed, Ad Mavericks.
