"How many cows do you own?"
"I've got three old skins."
James Still
The Wolfpen Notebooks
A Record of Appalachian Life
I have more than three old skins and they like to follow my husband around The Farmette. They think he equals food, but he doesn't. They get a tiny bit of feed if he needs to check them, but otherwise they are grass fed and have the run of the land.
When we have a good rain, they like to relax in the pasture and soak up every raindrop. They drink fresh water from stock tanks each day. No dirty pond water for these bovines.
It's possible we converse while I fill their water tanks. Sometimes they appreciate it and sometimes they don't.
Oh well........
