Wild Cow (Mr. Farmer's Adventures, Vol. 2)

By Faye Hollidaye

Mr. John Farmer is the storytelling name for an older country farmer who has raised and bred pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, children, and a few other animals. His farm was ran by his father and grandfather before him, and he is currently teaching his sons and grandsons how to carry on the family trade. Mr. Farmer mainly breeds cattle, but is capable of many feats, and has learned many trades throughout his farming years. Mr. Farmer is a successful carpenter, plumber, electrician, mechanic, husband and father, truck and equipment operator, and hay and cattle farmer, among numerous other tasks and responsibilities.

Mr. Farmer's tales can be humorous, serious, tragic, and educating. Ms. Hollidaye has been chosen to write Mr. Farmer's stories for him, and she has chosen to show his vernacular in the text. She records her conversations and interviews with Mr. Farmer and later writes them into his series of short stories. Ninety-eight percent of the stories are word for word from Mr. Farmer, since Ms. Hollidaye finds his stories are best told through the mouth of the original storyteller. The two percent that is not word for word is altered due to the unexpected interruptions of their meetings.

Just a Note: Mr. Farmer's tales will not be released in a consistently frequent time manner. Due to schedule conflicts between Mr. Farmer and Ms. Hollidaye, the stories will just have to come whenever they get the chances to meet and talk about past times. Please consider this when being patient for new releases.

I am currently a graduate student studying education with an undergrad degree in modern languages. I am a West Virginia native resident and lover and respecter of nature and animals. I enjoy many things and view life as a constant learning experience. I do my best to help others in whatever ways I can. My interests include linguistics, psychology, literature, art, entertainment, and a multiplicity of other things.I can be found quite a few places online, but a bit of that information is now outdated and I've been unable to update it as of yet. I've taken an unplanned break (though I've still written short things here and there) from writing over the past few years, but I'm sure the world can expect more from me in the future. The best way to keep up with me, my work, and to get to know me a bit is to follow me on Twitter (@fayehollidaye).
