farm when the whole family takes a day off it was ninethirty before we got away the cows and heifers ace hi separate pastures so of course they had to be watered separately while the cows were being milked the children went to the back fields to bring the heifers down to drink when they got there it was to find three of the heifers had broken out and were nowhere to be seen only once this summer
