Dogs are essential to life on a farm. They guard over livestock, are protective over their territory, in addition to being able to heard or corral. This makes the farmer’s job a bit easier. They do not have to worry as much over intruders, whether it be beast or human. They also do not have to work as hard when they want to gather their cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. Dogs make great pets. Most of ours are seen as extended family members. However, the best farm dog we ever had was a Rottweiler-hound mix. Her name was Black Bird, but we called her Birdy for short. She saved us from multiple coyote and snake attacks. When my sister and I used to go outside to play she would sit close by and watch over us to make sure nothing went wrong. I loved her to death and we haven’t had a dog since be as great as she was. According to Paw Nation, there are many other well suited farm dog breeds. However, the Rottweiler-hound will forever be my family’s favorite.

“Life of a Southern Farmer: Farm Equiptment”
Equiptment has become a huge aspect of farming here in the United States. Without it we would still be using a horse and buggy to plow land. The tractor took the palce of this mechenism during the ninteenth century, states Case IH. This took a leap, surpasing a bound, into advancement. More crops were able to be produced in a shorter period of time. This was a revolution for the people of that era. The tractor is the only piece of equiptment that my father owns. He believes in doing most things the old fashoned way. However, without our tractor we would not be able to have a garden or cut fields as easily. It would be alot more time consuming. This would almost be impossible when one is raising cattle as well. Farmers are very proud and thankful for their equiptment, as am I.
