Reading the short essay Her Name Was Half Calf took me back to my childhood in a remote, rural area of Kentucky. As I read the heartwarming story of the pet cow, I could have been sitting in front of a roaring fire as Ms. Molteni told me the tale, alternately laughing and crying.Non-farm dwellers may find some of the passages gory and bewildering. For those of us well-versed in agriculture, the descriptions are business as usual. For those images, some readers may want to put a metaphoric hand over their eyes.
