\November 20, 2020 - Here on Miles Smith Farm, there is a pumpkin-smashing season. Let me explain. My cattle love to eat unwanted pumpkins, whether they are unsold surplus or whole pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns donated by friends of the farm. But cattle have no upper front teeth, so they don't have the chomping power needed to open a whole pumpkin. So those pumpkins must be smashed!

Love a Cow; Smash a Pumpkin!

When a car drives up, the cattle will run to the fence, watch the visitor set a pumpkin on the smashing stump, pick up a sledgehammer, lift it high, and then whack it down on an unsuspecting pumpkin. Sometimes, the pumpkin skitters away and needs a second smashing. It often splits into smaller bits, just right for munching.
