When I was 8 years old my little sister was born. When I first found out I was getting a sibling I wasn’t very enthused at the time. So, when my mom asked if I wanted to hold her after she was born I was reluctant but agreed. After getting her in my arms she grabbed my finger with her hand and wrapped it around and wouldn’t let go. In that instant I fell in love with her. Now I know what you’re thinking, what does this have to do with the Witter Farm? Well when I first came to the Witter Farm and learned I had to work with the dairy cows I wasn’t looking forward to it. I thought cows were smelly, funny looking and not too bright. But, after being with the Dairy Herd for a little over a week I fell in love with them, they wrapped a metaphorical hoof around my finger. From the way they “hippity-hop” in their stalls, to leaning up against you like trying to give you a hug, their curiosity and with their puppy dog like eyes it’s impossible not to love them. I have worked with many types of animals; dogs, cats, sheep, horses, turkeys, and more and I’ve never met a more lovable and cuddlier group of animals than the Witter farm cows. They are so sweet and when they get playful you can’t help but smile. When my baby calf Raleigh was born she just made me love going to the farm even more. She is a headstrong little girl with a love to try and eat sweatshirt pull ties.
