When a City Girl Goes Country

Published

on

By Annette Bridges

It’s not easy to take a vacation when you’re a rancher. There are many things to be done to assure smooth sailing for both your cattle and those overseeing the ranch while you’re away. My husband will put out round bales if there is not enough grass to graze and create a schedule for when to move our cattle to a different pasture. Then there’s getting the grass mowed where needed, and it’s always nice to come home to a clean house.

Despite the extra prep work required, I am convinced it’s important to have an intermission from your daily responsibilities. Everyone deserves to slow down and have some time away from his or her own hustle and bustle. A rigorous routine, that is undoubtedly true for any rancher or farmer, can leave little time for adventure and fun, and that, my friends, are two things this city girl needs in her life.
