CALF GROWING UP
A newborn calf has just
arrived,
It sucks his mother to survive,
When he sleeps, he sleeps so
sound,
Just barely holding his head
off of the ground,
When he awakes he's ready for
a drink,
He calls his mother by giving
her a wink,
As time goes on he's getting
fatter,
It won't be long and he'll
be put on a platter,
He doesn't know, but he'll
be made into meat,
I'm going to feel guilty, but
I have to eat.

FARM SAFETY
F arm safety is a very important fact.
As you know those augers can eat you up.
R evolving yellow lights are a help when driving on
the road in the dark.
Machinery must not be mistaken for toys.
S afety first will always make you last.
Always look before you back up.
Farm machinery should always be respected.
E nds of loose clothing should always be fastened
securely.
Turn off all machinery before doing any repairs.
Y et why are there always so many farm accidents?
