"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

• I have more than enough milkers for myself. If she'd had a girl, I would have sold it as a milker. Otherwise, I prefer to cross to a beef bull.

• I guess what I'm wondering is why you don't keep the new baby boy for breeding?

• Congratulations on Taco! He is adorable. I recently introduced two American Guinea Hog piglets onto my farm. One is Petunia and the other is named Dinner. Same idea. I think many of us like to do that.

• Suzanne, thanks as always for keeping it real in your Taco story.

• Congratulations! Taco looks sweet. Our current steer is named DeMeatRi Marbled Beef. We let the kids have fun naming them some food name and we all remember why we raise them. Our kids all learned that we give them great care, then we thank them for feeding us.

• If you keep farm animals, they can't all die of old age. I know it is hard to think about when they are new and cute whether they're calves, fluffy lambs or whatever but for everyone who eats meat its a reality.
