Prayer for a 5-day cow
By CINDY RUTTER
York Co. Dairy Princess
Hi!
This is Cindy Rutter - York
County dairy princess, with
a poem I came across the
other day while reading a
dairy magazine. I have
discovered this poem to be
very amusing to my
audiences during my milk
promotion activities.
PRAYER FOR A
5-DAY COW
I long for a cow of modem
make,
That milks five days for
leisure’s sake.
That sleeps of Saturday,
snores on Sunday
And starts afresh again on
Monday.
I wish for a herd that knows
the way.
To wash each other day by
day.
That never bothers to excite
us
With chills or fever or
mastitis.
I sigh for a new and better
breed,
That takes less grooming
and less feed,
That has the reason, wit and
wisdom
To use the seat and flushing
system.
I prry each weekend long
and clear,
Less work to do from year to
year,
And cows that reach
production’s peak
All in a five-day working
week.
I look for officials by the
mob.
To guide the fanners at their
job,
Christmas
party held
YORK, Pa. - The Milk and
Money 4-H Club recently
held its Christmas party at
the home of George Knight,
York, Pa.
During the business
meeting, the group elected
officers for the coming year.
Those chosen were: Patty
Greek, president; James
Knight, vice president;
Barbara Kilgore, secretary;
Cathy Arnold, treasurer;
Peter King, news reporter;
Annette Walter, assistant.
Trophies were given to the
outstanding officer and the
outstanding member of the
dub. Paul Knight received
the outstanding member
award and Barbara Kilgore
received the outstanding
officer trophy.
The next meeting of the
group will be held on
January 12 at the home of the
Growl family.
Cindy Rutter
And show these stupid
breeders how
To propagate a FIVE DAY
COW.
