The Joy of Farmin
Ella S.
When Robert Frost wrote "Some-
thing there is that doesn't like a
wall," he wasn't talking about our
farm animals -- because our ani-
mals love fences.
When the herd of cows is in a
pasture with grass high as their eye-
brows it doesn't take them long to
crop enough to make their sides
bulge. One afternoon, as they lay in
the shade chewing and resting, they
started wondering what to do with
themselves the rest of the day. A
two-year-old complained she was
bored wilt" standing around sw~tch-
=ng her ta~l at the flies. That is when
one of me older cows remembered
tile fences. "Fences," she sa~d
'were put around the fields to
amuse the animals."
She and the two-year-old ambled
across me field to the fence. The old
cow demonstrated how to rue
against the posts and w~re while she
explained that this action massaged
her neck, s,des and ~ips. At the
same t~me she worked the posts
loose and stretched the wire so that
~t would sag and billow.
Soon other of the herd joined in
the game and a c~.,If found a brokee
wire. It pried at the hole trying to
make it o)gger. After a bit it tired of
thiS and abandoned the fence to
challenge another calf to a game of
head wrestling.
One of the cows that had been
watching inspected the small hole.
She poked ner nose through t and
shoved hard. Some wires slid and
others broke. Soon her whole head
was through the fence. She took a
couple of bites of grass, declaring to
the other cows that the grass on the
other side of the fence was the best
she had ever put m her mouth. They
immed=atety gathered around want-
mg to taste this scrumptious fare.
She just continued eating and re-
fused to allow turns at the hole she
had created. This irritates them and
they shove and butt her. The fence
creaks and groans under this as-
sault and more w~res part. As the
others continue to punish her she
rehnquishes her place.
Soon the hole ~s large enough for
two cows to put their, heads through
at the same time. One cow is dis-
comforted by a wire jabbing her
neck and withdraws her head. At
almost the same time the other cow
gets hit in the rear by the shoving
herd. Before she realizes it
popped through the fence --i
like a cork from a bottle. The
gaze at her in wonder as she .'

hesitation they decide to.join

One morning the bull was
proud and boastful. He stood
