Rescue the Perishing

385 Views

I have spent the last couple of hours watching cows guzzle water. Some idiot cowman put them in a field and didn’t fill the water trough. Trekking through the fields with the dog, I stopped by the empty trough to admire the heat hazy view and turn the tap on to let the mutt get a drink. Luckily I was on the other side of the fence when the stampede began. The water charges may be unfair but your livestock isn’t worth much if it’s died from dehydration. I doubt it would increase the milk yield much either.

Good deed for the day done. I feel hopelessly smug, so smug I may drive the cart to town and buy a beer.

Good work. I prefer my sirloin dry aged after they are dead!
