I am missing my lovely cows a great deal this morning. This summer, I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I traveled up to Poughkeepsie NY and got to experience working on a farm. Sprout Creek Farm, to be exact. I went with three other DASH girls, and several other Sacred Heart school girls around the country.
While on the farm, I learned to milk goats, harvest plants, make cheese, clean goat pens, collect chicken eggs, feed animals, ect. Nothing captured my heart quit as much as my moo-ing friends. Oh! how I love them. I would go and lay with them in my free time, and always tried to get a chore that involved me being with a cow. I love cows. I love them so much, I am planning on going back to NY in February to help birth goats.... You read correctly. I am going to stick my hand up a goats behind and pull out a mutant goat baby just to see my cows again. By the way, Sprout Creek farm is a dairy farm, so none of the cows are slaughtered for food, we just use their milk to make cheese and ice cream.
One of the coolest things ever. Five babies cows were born while I was there. Peaches, Eleanor, Sybill, and Alice, and Ringo. Guess which one I helped name :)
Love me some moo moos.
Until the cows come home,
Nowhere Girl
