Cottage or Castle?

"I would sooner live in a cottage and wonder at everything than live in a castle and wonder at nothing." Joan Winmill Brown After a recent visit home this past weekend, not only did I find myself doing the usual tasks I do when I visit the family farm, but some "extras" were tacked to my list of things to do. From dry treating cows to move to the dry cow lot, moving heifers that are due to calve in the next few weeks to the milking pen, helping cows calve, to giving our red & white Holstein show heifer her first hair cut to be prepared for the WI Spring Show, I was worn out and it wasn't even Saturday yet!   As the weekend went on, things just became busier and busier.  Not only did I help with the outside work, there was some work inside the house that needed to be done as well.  There are days when I am at college I really wish to be home working along side my dad and outside working with my therapeutic friends I call my cows.  Working with my cows
