Watching Grass Grow Is Fun

Watching grass grow is fun. It is actually more than fun.

Grow grass, grow!

Staring longingly at those long green stems across the fence everyday. Mentally measuring each day's growth.

Fantasizing about how it will taste when The Farmer bales it or chops it. The smell wafting over me is intoxicating. Yes, I am obsessed with hay and wheat. Oh, my!






How do you pass the time on a dairy farm while the grass grows? Simple. Feline Theater.

Hidden Farmer Cam

Nothing beats documentation when you want to prove animal abuse. Let us introduce Exhibit A, the hidden farmer camera from last week in the calf barn.

WATCH CLOSELY!

The Real Value of Milk

Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched?

As  I retraced my steps from the day before I received the blackmail note, I realized what had been bothering me. Our "feline friends" on the farm had been watching us. They were always around and always had their tails and eyes moving. The cats were the anonymous blackmailers. The question was how would we be able to keep them from spilling our secrets without the situation turning ugly?

I entered negotiations with the cats. It turns out The Farmer is not the only one who knows the real value of milk. While the cats were aware of the great nutritional benefits of milk, which includes nine of the essential nutrients recommended by the USDA, they were much more interested in the taste. With that we were able to reach an agreement. They would keep our secret and we would provide them with a small daily supply of milk.

And maybe this means that bovines and felines will get along on this farm.
