Five Years In: Finding Our Groove

And Then There Were Three
I blame the algorithm for filling my feed with fluffy cows. I was scrolling away one day waiting for the water trough to fill up when I saw him… a big boy with brown wind swept bangs. It was love at first sight, he was absolutely gorgeous! His name is Sterling, and he’s a handsome…

There was one thing I didn’t know, that cattle need friends of their own kind to be happy. It didn’t take long before I started scrolling through the Maryland Farmers Exchange group on…
