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 Thank you. I loved reading your story. Ours are Holsteins. But my job in the morning is looking after the sheep.

@LilirWyddfa Tell you a funny story. We had this one small gurnsey had pretty horns that curled back toward her head. My brother and I would catch her lying down sleeping and we would grab her horns and shake her head. We knew when we let go of her horns we had better run for out lives because here she would come.
