She is a high school junior, and hopes to be a teacher one day. Her hobbies are reading, martial arts, and gardening. For most my age it means Christmas vacation. That wonderful time when you have no homework and can just relax. But it's just the opposite on a farm.
Winter time is one of the busiest, and one of the most rewarding times of the year.
I live on a mink farm. My dad runs the farm, but when winter time comes around, all of us family members help out. The very first thing on the list of things to do is grading the mink. Each one must be graded individually. The biggest and best ones are kept for next year's breeding stock.
