Summers were spent putting up hay and checking cattle. Fall meant harvest and weaning calves. Winters were spent feeding the hay that was put up in the summer. Spring meant planting and calving cows. Occasionally, my parents hired some help, but primarily they did it all on their own. I was born in March at the beginning of the calving season, and I can guarantee that I was on the four-wheeler with Mom and my two older sisters that season, checking the cows at least twice a day. Some of my fondest memories include riding in the seat that Dad designed for the back of the four- wheeler so that Mom could check her cows without needing a baby- sitter, and sharing popcorn and an occasion soda with Dad while feed- ing in the tractor and wagon during the winter.We only got a can of pop on snowy days. Dad would bury the can in the snow while we went to feed the cows and, by the time we got back with the tractor and wagon, it would be cold and delicious. On Christmas morning, the cows had to be fed first before opening gifts. My sisters and I spent hours reading books, taking naps, sitting beside our parents as they mowed, raked, baled and hauled hay, and riding in a combine while harvesting fall crops or cutting brome seed in the summer. We learned how to sort, work and behave around cattle at a very young age. We learned that when things didn’t go right, there were occasionally cuss words. We learned that cows got out when we were headed to do something fun, but they must be taken care of first. We learned that hard work is a part of life. We learned that farming is a lifestyle. We learned that very few of our friends had their parents at all of their activities like we did because they had “town” jobs and couldn’t take time off. We learned that winters were cold and vol- unteering to go feed with Dad in the tractor got you out of going on the four-wheeler with Mom in the cold. We learned that life is hard. We learned that being a business partner with your spouse is really hard. We learned that rarely is life really how it looks behind closed doors. We learned that we would always be supported no matter what.We learned that there is nothing Transition Planning A Next Generation Perspective Where From Here?
