I Grew Up On a Farm

It's where I live. Most people at school look down on us. They think we smell. We don't.We probably have more time to wash before school than they do cos we get up at 4 o'clock.

I grew up on a dairy farm. We got up at 4:00 AM to milk about 50 head of gurnseys, jerseys, and holstein cattle. It was hard work but now I look back on those days as the best days of my life. The people that make fun of you don't know what they are missing.
@Shannon27 You teased one of the animals?

That's sad,without farmers they'd starve.Farmers are most hard working and least appreciated.Take no notice be proud.

@LilirWyddfa I worked on farms all my working life,I know how hard it is through all weathers,it's a tough but rewarding life.Least your not alone.
@Luvtab thank you. I got in. A ewe just had triplets. three lambs. Theyr're ok. the ewe is feeding the three.

The smelly kids at my school were the ones who stood at the bus stop smoking cigarettes before school. 😷
@DearAmbellina2113 We don't get that. It's only the bus driver who does that. It makes me cough!

@Lilnonames How true. We raised and butchered a calf for beef products and a hog for pork products. My mother raised a large garden, green beans, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, radishes and many other vegies which she would can or freeze for use during the rest of the year. We would also go out in the woods and collect walnuts and hickory nuts to use in candies made during the holidays. We always had a table full of food at each meal.
