As a kid, I never went to a fair.

While living in Houston, Texas, I got to go to a few rodeos.

I came into contact with husbandry because my father took us to family reunions in the small agricultural town he was raised in Virginia. I learned to milk cows, gather eggs and learned a few things about farm animals.

But I was a kid from the suburbs and I couldn’t wait to get back to my friends and the life I knew.
