My 365 Day Job

Ever since I've lived on a farm, everyday is a day of work for me. Early mornings and late nights have been no new news to me. Getting up at the break of dawn almost every day of my life to feed calves is a joy to me. I wouldn't trade seeing the beautiful faces of my cows every morning for anything. 

Even though working with calves is a lot of hard work, it is definitely what makes me the most happy. Rinsing all my show calves, feeding them, working their hair, blow drying them, and then clipping them everyday, twice a day is a tedious task, but it is my life. It is what I do. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

From the day the babies on my farm are born, to the day that they go to the sale barn or the slaughter house, I give them some sort of attention. Whether it be a simple look to make sure that everything is okay, to a wash, a dry, a clip, and a feeding twice a day, every cow, calf, bull, steer, and heifer gets some attention. This is a timely and laborious task, but it is something that needs to be done in order for the farm to be healthy and running smoothly.
