More animals?

Well today we have the privilege of cow-sitting! Oh and chicken -sitting, oh and horse-sitting! Wow, how many people get that opportunity! God has finally given us a place that allows us help other farm families out. We are about to enter into a month long venture of taking care of some friends' animals, how fun! The kiddo's are so excited, and I am sure this will lead into more animals of our own, which is always exciting! About a month ago we were on our way home from a wedding in Indiana, and we passed by a big family dairy that also had a place to eat. After we got our cheese, bread and fresh ice cream, we strolled around and came upon a "birthing barn". When we went inside, there were 2 momma cows in the final stages of birth, so as we finished our food we witnessed calves enter the world! What a privilege! Thankfully our children were old pros at watching this and had a great time, now the other "school" children couldn't leave fast enough! What is going on?!!! At least most of them knew what a cow was! I guess I shouldn't laugh, it wasn't until about a year ago that I found out that it's not just the bulls that have horns, and that cows don't have upper teeth, as well as goats! Growing up without farm life leaves books for this information, the problem is most of them are very vague and some are in error! Have you ever watched the movie "Barnyard"? Ever notice the bulls with udders? How funny! Most probably don't even realize this! I guess I feel it's important because, well after all we do eat these animals, and I personally like to know what goes in my belly! We are continuing to learn as much as we can about good food; so far we are raising meat chickens, and they are great! We plan to do beef soon, just trying to round up enough fencing so they can graze! Graze? Do cows graze?! Have fun, D.
