Hard Work

Working on a farm is an everyday job. Farmers do not take vacations like most people especially ones with large numbers of animals. The average day starts as soon as the sun rises. The farm i worked on animals were fed before we ate breakfast. Therefore we fed all the dogs, show steers, and then heifers in the lots. After we eat we set out to do a days work. We have to always check on large herds of animals, fix fences and gates along with other manual labor. Getting dirty is an everyday thing and shorts are not an option. We work the hardest from sun up to around lunch. After we get lunch naps are taken to reenergize us and then after about an hour we are back working. There is always plenty to do on the farm. Kids learn good lessons like how to drive a tractor, work animals, and get the feeling of a hard days work under there belt.  At night kids are allowed more freedom from riding all the machinery to hunting or fishing. The life of a farmer is fun with lots of hard work and not a day taking off.
