Celebrate June Dairy Month With These ‘Mooey’ Delicious Recipes
(Continued from Page B 6)
My husband feeds 180-200
cattle and farms 110 acres of
com, barley, and soybeans. We
have a flock of 7,000 breeder
chickens. Marlin also hauls
produce over the growing sea
son for a neighbor.
The farm is a nice place for
children to grow up on. Laura,
12; Charlotte, 10; Benjamin, 6;
and Jacob, 2 can walk after
Dad. They also take care of
guinea pigs and goats or go
horseback riding and gather
eggs to eat.
It reminds me of a song my
mother use to sing to me when I
was a child
“The country boy, the country
girl; They are the best to stand a
test; In any public world. They
live a life of usefulness. Their
labor’s full of joy. All hail the
country boy and girl!
May the Lord be thanked; for
He has given us all things richly
to enjoy.
