“How do the farmers water their cows? There are no watering holes like people have in Tennessee.”
Mae’s question was sincere. The tour guide stared at her, not knowing how to answer. I don’t think anyone had ever asked him that before.
He explained that most people want to know about the small, white cattle in France, but usually ask if they are pigs. “They are Charolais,” he said. He wasn't sure about the water.
Mae said they just look lazy. Maybe they're thirsty.
The French countryside is covered with farms. Miles and miles of bright yellow canola, interspersed with Charolais cattle farms on rolling hillsides. It is a farmers dream.
Even without the watering holes.
It’s funny the different things people notice.
