Without a doubt, Twitter is all the rage these days, and even farmers and ranchers are tweeting their daily lives from their tractors. This is a great way to promote food production to consumers, as it gives a unique insight into the lives of the people that are dedicated to growing a safe, wholesome product for consumption. While there are countless farmers, ranchers and foodies on Twitter, it’s not everyday you run across a tweeting heifer. A heifer? Yes, that’s right…it’s time to start following @Cows_life.

Hi! I’m a heifer on the Wagner farm, located in southeast North Dakota. Follow my day-to-day activities as a cow!

As reported by the Cattle Business Weekly, Val Wagner of Monango, N.D. was up late one night with her newborn son when a crazy idea hit – to begin twittering about her family’s cowherd. Easy is a necessity in the Wagner household. With four boys under the age of six, and farming and maintaining a herd of commercial Red Angus, little time can be spent idle. Wagner is tweeting on a regular basis on the happenings at the Wagner farm and the life of their Red Angus heifers. Eventually, one heifer will be chosen and followed through this coming fall, winter and in to next spring’s calving season. The heifers can be followed online at www.twitter.com/Cows_Life where Wagner writes from the perspective of the 27 head of young cattle.
