We have two full time employees on the farm, and three or four part time high school or college students that come when they can to help us with show heifers. These students become an integral part of our operation, even though they come in between classes, when they can, in between other obligations. Why is this?
To be quite honest, to live on a farm can be trying -- it's always there. There is always something to do, more to work on, another project to start, work on or finish. Bringing in fresh blood every once in awhile is like getting a breath of clean air in the middle of the day when you're feeling mid-afternoon sluggishness. They're fun, they are just starting, they have energy because they've been doing other things during the day that didn't involve their first love. Then they show up at the farm and are raring to go!
I'm thankful for these workers -- thankful for their enthusiasm, their love of Angus Cattle, and the fact that they want to come spend their extra time with US, on OUR FARM!
