Yesterday when A. and I were driving to a party, we passed a farm with some reddish-brown cows in a field. I knew they weren't Holsteins, so in my continuing quest to not sound like an ignorant jackass about All Things Rural, I asked A., "What kind of cows are those? Herefords?" And he said yes, those were Herefords.
I can't tell you how unreasonably proud I was that I guessed right. It's the little things.
It is amazing what you can learn at a library.

You sound like me - only that's how I feel when I know a crop that's in a field as we drive past it. I used to only be able to identify corn! My husband grew up on a farm so he knows quite a lot of the crops.
