Aaah, I see. Of course, if I'd chosen to have chickens and 50 head of
feeder calves, I might have been more enthusiastic about taking care
of them. As I was reminded, frequently, I liked to eat eggs and
hamburger and have a roof over my head, so I did my share of the
chores, but I hated to put a book down just when I was at a good part.

Truthfully, I must have like livestock because as soon as I could I
got some of my own.
