I'm a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We don't have milk cows. People have so many stereotypes of people from where I come from - Oklahoma. We don't ride around in covered wagons, either.
I've lived in Kansas for more than thirty years, and for half of those, I was part of a ranching family, so I'm writing about things I know and love.
We have a strong agricultural heritage in Kansas.
Now I live in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow.
I grew up in a village of 12 houses. We had a well and a cow.
I come from the countryside. I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. My best friend was a farmer's boy.
I grew up in Arizona and have a lot of buddies that are cowpokes.
We had three cows and a goat. People from New York and L.A. are like, 'Oh my gosh, that's a farm!' But people in Tennessee are like, 'That's not a farm.' I've never milked a cow or anything like that.
The truth of the matter is that I live on an isolated cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma and that's not going to change.
