New baby cow.

A lot of what they read is just "busy-work," silliness, mindless entertainment. Okay. Captain Underpants for one. That whole genre. So it's fun, teaches them reading is fun, I get that. Couldn't Capt Underpants visit a farm or a zoo, where, incidentally, he learns the difference between a cow and a cat, a rooster and a hen? Or is that too biological at that age? No more biological than a lot of what they're learning. And it's past my beftime and I don't want to get throat-punched, so good night everybody. Sleep well.

I had one of those Fisher Price toys where you pulled the string and it told you what the animal said, "The cow says Moooo!"

Expecting a show?

Ok, so I've trained the last  three team leads and a manager, I've trained the last  ten lackluster hires.
You're paying me the minimum to train people that are making the max and full time.

Am I ever going to be offered a leadership position or is my pay grade going to reflect a training role?

Oh, and the guy in the back? He's the only person here who actually knows how to work all four of our inventory and ordering systems, stop cutting his hours.

They're your animals, it's kinda your ethical responsibility to get them medical care when they need it, I don't care if they're for eating.
If not, put her down

I agree, but given the state of ag knowledge amongst the general public, I think schools might not have a choice but to teach it.

I legit had to explain to a man who was my age or older that brown cows don't produce chocolate milk

Oh that made me laugh (snort) out loud and I am not yet even fully awake.


Chocolate milk!

I wish it was as important as other subjects. But most kids don't know their letters or their last name. Basics first then other subjects( and basics should be taught before school, I know)

I remember (and still have) one of my favorite books as a pre-schooler. I read before I went to school.
Anyway, the book is very cute and it has pictures of pairs of animals. I guess it was essentially the passenger list for Noah’s Ark.
I of course had no clue about sex but I sure could tell the difference between the rooster with his glorious tail feathers and his hen. Also the lion with his big mane and the bull with his horns.
I also remember my grandfather when he took me to the park to feed the ducks pointing out the difference in the mallards. English was not his first, or even his third language, so I learned that the brown ones were called Ladyducks.

I will say to his credit though that he was more than willing to learn and he does want to eventually become more self sufficient, but still, stuff like that makes me wish ag was taught more in school, people need to know where their food comes from
