So farm life gave me a lot of child labor opportunities. I had to pick up pecans, cut corn off the cob, shell beans and field peas, prep food for canning but probably the most amusing was helping band calves. Once a year my dad and grandad would round up all the male calves that we were going to keep, wrestle them to the ground and use this little "gun" to put a little green rubber ring around their testicles. My job was keeping track of those rings and making sure the "gun" was loaded and stay out of the way when I wasn't needed. It was always an exciting day and I loved being part of it. Leave a Reply. |
