Hadn’t thought about the bull for a few years…then I did this interview with the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel.

Thank you to Jim Fleming and Wisconsin Public Radio for the gracious reading of Coop.  It’s a humbling honor to hear that coming out of the radio.  And for two weeks I’ve been running into folks who’ve caught a listen.  One of those things a guy never expected…and as a lifelong cheesehead, even more meaningful.

They’re reading a chapter of Coop on Wisconsin Public Radio every day from now until February 12. If you missed a segment, the five most recent chapters are available here: http://wpr.org/webcasting/audioarchives_display.cfm?Code=cad&repeats=no (not sure for how long).

Weekdays at 12:30 p.m. CST from now until February 12, Jim Fleming will be reading Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Chapter A Day.”  Jim has a wonderful reading voice (I have learned he is a favorite of rural mail carriers) and you can listen to a live stream of the reading right here.

I’ll be on the “Back to the Farm” segment of To The Best of Our Knowledge this weekend.  Find out where/when to listen here.  I believe you can also eventually listen online here.

Back on chicken butchering day we boiled up a big old tub of gizzards and livers.  Dumped’em in the hog trough.  Y’really haven’t lived until you ‘ve watched a pig dance while hot-mouthing a steaming gizzard.*

*Yes, I know we can eat them, pickle them, grill’em on a stick…but we had pails of the things.  Plus if you put the chicken in the pig you get…pig.  So we’ll eat them eventually.
