That saying is SO very true!
My friend Judy, who is well into her 80’s now, is still growing and going strong.
She bought her first few dairy cows in 1961 and never bought another cow again - bred all of her dairy herds from there on out. He husband was named, ‘Dairy Farmer of the Year’ numerous times, but he couldn’t have done it without her and always gave her credit.
She worked for me at Jung’s in the spring season - worked harder than ANY of us! It was a very sad day when she stopped by the store mid-winter to tell me that she sold her current herd of dairy cows and was hanging up The Cow Life, but she was still going to work for me in the spring and still plant her gardens.
I want to be Judy when I grow up. :)
