Last night I helped feed the cows. My dad and neighbor rent about 80 acres from Boulder County and run about 30 cows and put up hay each year. This time of year we start having babies and as of last night, 19 calves were running around kicking up their heels. We used the neighbors new tractor to pull the flatbed of hay bales. Dad climbs on back and I drive the tractor in "granny-gear". This is where I first learned to drive a stick shift. Not on this tractor, obviously, but my dad's old green and white GMC truck when I was 16 years old. I learned how to slowly let the clutch out and push down on the gas without killing the engine. This fancy new tractor made my job so much easier. I was so excited, I had dad take a picture of me in the cab of the tractor. I enjoy getting out there once in a while still and helping dad with the cows. Enjoy!
