I ask my son where is he going?
"Dad, I want to sleep peacefully tonight, so I am making sure you actually closed the cattle gate"
Thanks.

In the army we say hope is not a COA (Course of action), it is in farming. Hope is my COA that the cattle respect electrical fences April to December. And yes, I have been woken up at 2am to cows being where they are not supposed to be.They were waiting for you to come out, to show you how you goofed and extract bribes from you.
As a non-farmer or hunter I seldom give thought to the relationship between my meat and its processing.Actually the two steers and heifer have a date with destiny next summer already booked at the abattoir
Actually my wife, sons and I go with a different philosophy, we have the cattle, sheep and one token goat trained to follow when I call. I had better have a bucket of treats when i summon them.As a non-farmer or hunter I seldom give thought to the relationship between my meat and its processing.
