Cattle Farmers in training.
You can not get better help than grandchildren, especially while they are still young. They think you know everything. (please don't tell them the truth) They are also willing to do tasks adults think are dull. Today the introductions were made. I waited for the children to meet the cows until I felt the cows were calm enough not to cause any trouble. It actually went well, no one seemed frightened of the other one; in fact Charlie felt very much in charge.
The only negative comment involved the smell of cow pooh. (some things are what they are) The children thought the cows were great; the cows thought the children were great bringers of the green bucket.
Facts of help:
1) good help is hard to find (unless they are grandchildren)
2) Jake thinks the grandchildren are great at filling the dog food bowl
3) the cows think the grandchildren bring "sweet feed" just fine
