Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

With mud puddles in abundance and the crop fields too wet for

planting, it's easy to forget how fortunate we are for the

 clean water our cows drink everyday. 

Water is an important nutrient in the cow's diet and without

the availability of at least a bathtub full of water everyday, 

a milking cow will produce less milk.

 Even though these cows at the water tank are

 actually at rest in the pasture waiting to have a baby,

 water is important as they prepare for delivery.

I'm thankful for these daily reminders of how blessed we

are with the basics of everyday life down on the dairy farm

and

                                                           
                                              for our opportunity to share our blessings with
                                                                  the next generation!
