There were a couple of hard questions in the trivia contest this year. Several people tried, but no one person got all of the answers. The closest contestant missed a couple questions. In fact, nobody was able to answer one particular question! The soap that Ralphie was commenting on was "Palmolive". So the winner, with the most correct answers is sidetracksusie! She wins "The Secret Life Of Cows", and I will be contacting her to get a physical address to send it to. The answers are now displayed on the original Christmas Trivia post.
It's getting wintery here on the farm. The weather is colder and the days are shorter. I often find myself feeding the cows in the dark. Sometimes I wonder why I chose to raise black cows, as white ones would be easier to find in these conditions. Of course if I switched, they would escape during a blizzard!
With Christmas just around the corner, I would like to offer up a little holiday cheer... A Christmas Trivia Contest! You can win a gift for yourself, or to give away this Christmas. Send me an email (or click "Contact Me") with the answers to the following questions.
