   Howdy! Holger,   
      
   I finally got around to reading the packet this message was in.   
   Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know the finer details of when   
   some animals become 'grown ups'.   
      
   To me a small horse was a pony although I knew when they were first   
   born they were called a foal.   
      
   I lived in the city most of my life, except for 7 years when my QTH was   
   in a rural area.   
      
   A Grandparent owned a farm where he had some cows that he got milk from   
   and had the milkcans picked up by a local Dairy.   
   He got slop for his Pigs/Hogs from a local Whiskey bottler.   
      
   I remember being there one day when it was time for his Corn field   
   to be harvested and my Dad and us boys helped get the ears of corn   
   off of the stalks.   
   There were other local farmers there too, as all the farmers in the   
   area helped each other get their crops in.   
   It was corn as far as I could see, so it must have been at least an   
   acre in that corn field.   
      
   And then there was that August/September just before I left for the   
   U.S. Navy Boot Camp, where my Grandfather had bought some bales of hay   
   from a farmer a few miles up the road from his farm, and my Dad   
   volunteered us three boys to load and unload the truck to get the hay   
   moved to his farm.   
   I sure was hot and sweaty work, I remember it well.
