LG: Well, of course, I started going to the barn when I was seven years old and I’d go in the morning. My father would get up, his standard line was, “We’re late,” every morning, we’re always late. And we’d go down to the barn and, of course, we’d be milking cows. We had several milking machines. He did the milking, at first alone, when I was a kid. I would sweep the mangers out and put feed in for the cows. That was essentially my job, to feed the cows, and then I’d scoot up to the house, take a bath, and get ready for school.
