Health of Cattle

The Health of Cattle Every morning I had to milk 6 cows at five, today when liberalism is becoming oppressive It will be called child labour and banned. Then it was school and the three Rs, I liked my cows, they liked me seeing me when grazing they looked up and mood. In the neighbouring farm they had thirty milking cows and milking machines the cattle had no name, producers of milk and that was it. Farmers looked like doctors who when taking their white coats off, took no more interest in their patients . Why should they if one dies it will be replaced a another one, white coats are never out of work. My charge used to feed on a field of plenty, sadly there is a housing estate there now, each house has a tiny gardens full inedible flower. My doctor wears a white coat he dispenses medicine, looks concerned this because I pay him, but I know when I die he will be too busy to attend my funeral.

Dear Jan - It's a sad state of affairs which they sometimes call progress. If I had a cow, I'd name her Janice and give her a brass bell. They don't allow cows in my condo. One thing we have here instead of a cow is a huge fake rock that covers some kind of equipment. You would love it. It sits looking very natural unsurrounded by any hint of vegetation like a flintstones ad. I must go now shoot balls on the miniature golf course. love to you, Kathy
