Guest blog... Simon

Dad asked me to let you into my life a bit. It is hard work on the farm for a 2 year old. We have skid loader work to do and it is hard to get in the cab and be obedient when dad jumps out for a second and not touch anything. And there are gates to climb when looking at the cows, you think it is easy? Well try it at 2'6"! It takes some effort. One nice thing is dad had back surgery so it used to take at least 3 of my steps to each of his to keep up, lately it has only taken 2, pray for a slow recovery. Even at the end of a job it is hard to get a drink, I can get the hydrant on but turning it off takes all I got. Nice thing is to kick back with some protein laden ribs at the end of the day. But even with all the challenges there is no place I would rather be now than doing chore with Dad and the others.
