What Cows Eat

In a conversation Deborah was having with our children about farms she explained to them that if cows eat the wrong grass they can get sick.

Jessica: “Yeah, that’s how Abraham Lincoln’s mother died. She drank milk from a cow that ate poisonous grass and she died. Then his dad married another lady and he was really sad. But he got over it. Abraham Lincoln made it so the black people could be free. And that is why there are so many kids with black skin in my class, like my best friend Alicia. But then a guy shot Abraham Lincoln in the back because the South Americans were mad that he made the black people free.”
