I added photos that I have taken around my farm in West Virginia. I plan to travel to some of the most beautiful places around the globe, but I will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful place than the Greenbrier Valley. I plan to depart from the US July 21. My first stop will be Tanzania for two and a half months. I have just gained my first contact in Tanzania (cutting it close I know). I don't know what kind of computer access I will have the first couple of months but I will try to atleast post journal articles from time to time. After Tanzania, I plan to head to South Africa for two and a half months which will make five straight months in Africa. I like to say this is the most excited and terrified I have ever been in my life. It will be an adventure to say the least.
Cows are present in almost every country in the world. They serve many different functions within society. I will witness cows as religious symbols, a life-line to nomadic people, best friends and as a bottom-line for business. Cattle farming is constantly evolving, but not necessarily at the same rate in each country. By living on vastly different farms in vastly different countries, I hope to gain a better understanding of the cultural interaction between farmers and their cows.
