So George was a farm boy? Interesting! Our cows usually poop all over everywhere so there isn't any gathering to it. They do like certain trees to stand under for summer shade. Usually it is the first one they come to after coming from a big clearing. These are the trees that get the best pecans. How big/ small was your farm and what did you grow on it? Did you do a big tractor garden? Seems like you have to have a big spot for some things like corn, okra, watermelons and cantaloupe for us.
