Now I miss the farm, and Cleo, my pet Holstein heifer. When I was a child I spent hours and hours with cows all summer long pretending that I was one of the herd. They taught me the rules of how to behave around 1) different species; 2) bigger heavier animals than myself. They tolerated my greetings to newborn calves, shared their salt lick... I miss that tribe.
