I'll avoid Farm Kings based on your advice.<br /><br />Lyle—<br />That is quite an achievement for your daughter! And you too. Very nice.<br /><br />Anonymous—<br />I wondered about that. I have not seen the episode yet. Glad to know it.<br /><br />Everett—<br />That part (pulling a calf) wasn't in your book. But that's probably because it wasn't as exciting (traumatic) as, for example, being chased up the road by a herd of pigs, or getting a hatchet imbedded into your head. You had a remarkable childhood! <br />Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-87242020938775672792015-02-04T15:21:54.959-05:002015-02-04T15:21:54.959-05:00Dr. Pol is a Christian.

It has been on for five years but netflix only has the first three years.<br />You also might consider any of the Nova shows by PBS.<br />I tend to have old black and white movies on while doing housework and preparing meals.

In case you are unaware, there are others in that series. "Tales from the Green Valley", "Victorian Farm", "Edwardian Farm", "Wartime Farm", and "Tudor Monestary Farm" (in order of release).

A friend was telling me of it as I was extolling Dr. Pol to her. Playing "Dr. Pol" in my house means our 4, 6, & 8 year old bust out the jump rope "chains" to pull a calf out of the recliner or putting on a pretend elbow glove & reaching into the closed recliner to palpate or grab a leg, it's cute as all get out.Mrs. Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559112018610101760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-5304467252519995892015-02-03T13:19:53.428-05:002015-02-03T13:19:53.428-05:00Kimberly,

I'll have to add it to my must-read list.<br /><br />Have you read any of the James Herriot books? I remember reading them when I was a teen and really liked them. But the British series based on his life wasn't all that appealing to me.<br /><br />Jon Pol appears to be America's version of James Herriot.
