I live in rural, but raised in burbs…I never realized how playful calves could be, my kid’s have friends on farms and one family in particular has one of every farm animal for FFA and their calf was the most animated of all the other animals. I saw him chasing a cat. I always just thought cows just stood still. I feel lucky to live in a rural area and be closer to where my food comes from. I can go to the farm where my beef is being raised, get what I want from the butcher and my kids understand the entire cycle.
My teenage son also works on a farm and while I hate how dirty he comes home, it’s been good hard work and he’s becoming a great hardworking kid!
