Our Pasture

New Grass

Ryan Kraeger

Moving the steers and sheep to a new paddock at 5 AM.

They rush deep into the new standing grass and immediately get to work. For the next 40 minutes, all you can hear is “Chomp, chomp, munch, munch.”

And birds singing and chickens clucking, and roosters crowing…

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
