Commentary
Earlier this week, a Harvest Hosts guest came into the restaurant and told us a cow was trapped out on the land.That kind of sentence changes the entire rhythm of a place. My husband called me on the radio, and within minutes, it was all of us—guests, farmhands, my brother, my children—moving toward the problem. A cow had gone down into a hole. We do not know how long she had been there. The last time she was seen standing was at about 1 p.m., and it was 6 p.m. by the time we got to her. She had been struggling for hours.
