Farmer Girl is a great follow if you raise calves. She has a great way of explaining animal health challenges, all while writing about the animals in a creative format.
Hello. It is us. The calves.
First of all, we'd like to thank everyone who comments on our posts. Whether you're asking a question, sharing your own experience, making a joke, or simply saying we are adorable (which is objectively correct), every comment helps more people see our content. Apparently the internet likes it when humans interact with posts. We don't fully understand the algorithm, but then again, we also occasionally try to nurse on each other's ears, so we're probably not the experts.
The more people who see our posts, the more people get to learn about dairy farming, calf care, and why Farmer Girl spends so much time explaining things with science instead of just saying, "Because I said so."
But there is another benefit.
The more people who see the post...the higher the odds that someone decides to leave one of those impressively rude comments.
Now, we don't actually like rude comments. However...they do tend to have one unexpected side effect.
Farmer Girl starts typing.
She'll disappear for a while, emerge with approximately twelve paragraphs, six Bible verses, three scientific studies, two historical examples, and enough citations to make someone's high school English teacher weep tears of joy. By the time she's done, the rude comment has been politely escorted into the great internet void, and about 10,000 other people have accidentally learned something.
And every now and then, someone is so committed to being rude that they earn the highest honor the internet has to offer...
The Block Button.
We have been informed that blocking people is, in fact, kind of fun. Mostly because the comment section immediately becomes more peaceful, everyone else gets back to learning something, and the person who came looking for an argument has to go find another pasture to graze in.
So thank you.
Thank you for commenting.
Thank you for asking questions.
Thank you for laughing at our antics.
Thank you for helping more people learn what happens on a dairy farm.
And thank you for occasionally giving Farmer Girl the opportunity to unleash what we have come to recognize as her natural habitat: writing a response that is somehow simultaneously kind, scientifically accurate, Biblically grounded, and long enough for us to finish an entire bottle, take a nap, wake up, and she's still editing the final paragraph.
Now if you'll excuse us, we have important calf business to attend to.
One of us just discovered the water bucket exists again and we all need to investigate immediately.
