When you have grown up on a farm, things just can't get much better than going back. Now, I don't live on a farm now, but thankfully, one of my good friends does. My favorite thing to do is to help with their bull sale in the spring. After a three year absence - I made it back!
As I rounded that last bend of the gravel road, I took in all the beauty and remembered the reason why I loved this place so much. I love the miles of hilly pasture as far as the eye could see, bovines everywhere and reconnecting with people I have come to know well. I truly missed the past years of absence from this sale.
I did not help sort bulls this year, water or feed, but I did get to help prepare and serve the buyer lunch. I loved every minute of it, and hope to be able to return each year. Here's to the foundation of everything: agriculture! Thank God for the farmer!!
