Livestock

   In the book "The River Calls" our main character Wil always had to tend his stock. Most places on the Bigfork River back then had at least one cow and the cow of choice was the Holstein.

   This cow produced a lot of milk, cream, buttermilk and even ice cream when ice was available. 

   Not that many years ago, the family farm nearly disappeared. Farmers that had large herds of milk cows went out of business or tried other forms of farming. But today things have changed some. On my travels through Northern Minnesota I see that farmers are getting back into the milk business.

   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of "The River Calls" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day. 

   I invite you to visit "The River Calls" blog site each day for a small look into what life was like a long time ago.

   Glad you stopped into "therivercalls" blog. We'll try to put something new here each day.
Good Reading,
