Let's back track into 2012 actually to begin this story. It was World Dairy Expo time 2012, and I joined PTD to get a free hat at WDE. Call me crazy but I will do just about anything as simple as that to get a free hat. After all when you have three boys you can never have enough hats. Fast forward a couple months to December 2012, and I decided it was tim…

I’ve been in the middle of an internal debate.
Perhaps you would like to join in.
Here’s the background:
Back in November, I attended the United Dairyman of Idaho convention. When I got the registration packet, there was the usual list of business meetings and seminars. And then there was “Ladies Craft Activity” and “Ladies Tour of the Statehouse.”
I have to admit, my first reaction when I see the “ladies activities” on the registration sheets every year is a slap…

Topic: What's the best Christmas gift you ever received? What made it so special?
I guess you could call it an early Christmas present. When I was nine, my Godmother and her brother gave me an Ayrshire calf. I bottle fed it and took care of it and worked with it and trained it. I watched it closely. I vaccinated it. I treated it for scours. …
