Since we last talked, our
‘Sahara’ has turned into a
‘garden of Eden’.
This week we brought in a
new set of heifers and began
to get them used to an electric
fence. I took my grandson, who
will be turning 9 years old this
week, along with me and we
took a trip around the pasture
making sure there were no
weeds shorting out the electric
fence. As we started around
the field on a tractor, mowing
just under the electric wire, my
grandson asked from right out
of the ‘blue’ – ‘Pop, what is a
heifer?’
For the next forty-five min-
utes, as we made our way
around the field and fenced
pond, backing up, going for-
ward, shredding weeds and
small trees, we discussed an-
imal biology, basic anatomy,
and animal behavior. When
we were finished, he could
have passed a quiz on equine
and bovine biology for begin-
ners. In fact, I did quiz him
several times and it was evi-
dent that he was beginning to
see how things fit around the
farm. Cows, heifers, bulls, and
steers; mares, fillies, stallions,
and geldings. I kept the discus- a lot like mine – certainly not
sion as basic as it gets, but he
learned some new ‘terms’ and
listened intently to the basic
facts of farm life. Cows have
calved, mares have foaled, and
‘Red’ is a gelding that thinks
he’s a stallion – got it!
These facts of course remain
the same for all domestic ani-
mals, animals in the wild and
all humans. Those facts have
remained unchanged for all of
human history, and they still
remain unchanged. If a nine-
year-old can understand those
basic facts, why can’t half of cor- it or not. You will never con-
porate America and the largest
human organization in human
history – the Federal govern-
ment? They lack something
