Life's Rythm

It's just been life as usual on the farm lately.  Except for saying goodbye to the cows.  I know when I buy them, I know as I'm feeding them, I know even as I'm trying to ignore them bellowing at me to bring their hay.  I know what their fate will be, a fate that I actually call and schedule.  But it's still hard, each year.  I think maybe we should raise calves to sell to someone else to raise for beef.  But, there is something to be said for raising pasture raised beef, who are treated well and cared for.  That's the only thing that makes this bearable.
