These are all real life experiences about farming life
Working hard, driving the tractor down the hill, then BANG. Sinking in the mud, not being able to move, and then the tractor tips, being held up by a tree. This is why you concentrate when driving a 120 horse power vehicle. Climb out the back window, the window shuts after, and the keys are locked in…. Then falling over in the muddy puddle…. That was a good day.
Walking around the show ring at a farm show, this is make or break, the judge is looking, so stand up and make everything look the best possible. The judge comes to ask questions and all that is said is “can you hold this a for second”, passed the judge the cow with a chance of winning and throw up over the fence… it was The National Competition, chance of being the best, and that failed.
It shouldn't have been too bad, I mean, just like getting ears pierced. That is all it was, a quick little ear tag, so the pig could go away, the brothers and sisters were good as gold. But there is always one, it is cornered, stand on one leg to catch it, but it runs into the one on the ground, flipped over on the ground, in a pile of mud… never to be lived down.
Its not even dawn and there is work to be done: milking, feeding, mucking out, fairly easy and simple, yes? Get up at 4:30, not to be late for College, walk down the yard, to find all the cows, had escaped from the field. All alone, herding 50 cows back into the field…. That is mission impossible Tom Cruise.
