Showing a Little Bovine Independence

A bovine way of saying "Happy Fourth."

Happy Independence Day!

As most of us get a day off today to enjoy going to the beach, a barbecue or a fireworks display, please remember those who don't get a day off -- those who toil each and every day so you will have food on your table.

As we get to sleep in today, dairy farmers still will be up at the crack of dawn to milk cows. Vegetable and fruit farmers may close their stands today, but they'll still be checking their crops and harvesting for grocery stores. 

So happy Fourth to all -- and especially farmers and others who have to work today to make our lives great.
