Who do you think loves the grass more? The cattle or their babies.

The Day started with Owen, one of my Highland steers, marching in the Concord Independence Day parade. But the best news was still to come.
Do you want to hug a Scottish Highland steer, or maybe check up on Curious Bleu and his drooping horn? Then join me on July 25 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for the Cow Crew Experience. Spend two hours brushing, hugging, and feeding the Miles Smith Farm herd of cattle.
Cattle are large, powerful animals driven by instincts honed over thousands of years as prey. Understanding those instincts isn’t just interesting trivia — it’s the line between being a safe handler and becoming a statistic. A cow will do anything to protect her calf. Reading her behavior can prevent serious injuries.
