Underfoot, cats lap up foamy spills.

Every morning, every night,

it’s milking time.

In a corner pen,

a half dozen calves

wobble awkwardly

on legs spindly and weak.

They bawl for attention,

and shove their boxy heads

between worn wooden slats

as they nuzzle for food.

Feeding them is my job—

something Dad lets me do

all by

myself.

I fill their trough with a pyramid of grain

and unravel a bale of hay.

Dad hands me a pail,

heavy with milk for the calves.

I climb into the pen,

and a small calf

with a triangle of white above his nose

bumps against me.
