a farm wife
-And
Joyce Bnpp
Outside the evening is a heavy
darkness, with wet, sticky flakes of
snow tumbling from the murky
black overhead. By the millions,
flakes have cascaded over the
fields and farmstead, mixing and
melding into a clinging, oozing
slush. It’s impossible to scrape,
heavy to shovel, difficult to
traverse.
Only more is to come, with the
promise that the accumulating
mess will then harden into a
ragged, waffled surface, as
temperatures plummet.
On such a night, few things offer
greater appeal than the warmth
that reaches out from the yellow
haze of the farmhouse windows.
Like beacons, they hint of coziness
and shelter, imploring us to leave
the murkiness of a rendezvous with
popcorn and hot chocolate.
But, no. It cannot yet be. For the
lights of another haven demand
our attention, a series of bright,
white squares, marking the con
fines of tiie cow bam.
And, to people who truly love
cows, this shelter is almost as
comforting as the security of the
house, banked in its steady
woodstove warmth.
During warmer months, even
the airiest dairy bam can be
confining and stuffy, in spite of
doors and windows thrown wide
open and fans humming.
But, on a snowy winter night, a
bam is a place of peaceful friend
liness. In ours mix the familiar
odors of fresh sawdust bedding,
hay, fermented fragrances of
haylage and high moisture com,
and the enticing, “peanutty”
aroma of roasted soybeans.
The cows rise slowly to their
feet, some reluctant to lift their
great bulk for the bothersome
purpose of milking when they’d
rather nap. Others seem anxious to
get the business over with for the
real drawing attraction, chow
time.
Just the presence of a familiar
figure at the distant end of the
bam, from where the various
feedstuffs arrive, sets up a chorus
of impatient bawling.
Our work pace slowed by the
adverse weather, the tasks of
sweeping feed alleys and feeding
hay are enjoyable opportunities to
chat with herd pets, to stop to
scratch behind the ears of a special
favorite. Following the feeder on
bam rounds goes a rag-tag crowd
of fall kittens. Leaping from bale to
bale, they chase the ends of baler
twine, jump in feed storage
buckets, roll and tumble in mock
meanness to each other and just
generally manage to be af
fectionately underfoot.
I find a deep sense of satisfac
tion, and of purpose, in surveying a
row of contented black and white
heads, noisily chewing hay with
the same self-satisfied look as that
of a gourmet nibbling caviar and
truffles.
Bams can sometimes be places
of burdens, of worry, of too much
work and too little time. But, on a
snowy winter evening, the milking
complete and the cattle settling
down, contentment doesn’t stop at
the cows.
This is why farmers endure. This
is why they rise early and retire
late and try to work 20-hours-worth
of work in between.
And it’s why a large majority, in
spite of buyout temptations,
dropping prices and continuing
cash flow crunches, will continue
to get up each morning and head
for the dairy barn.
