This is such a great commercial! I’m glad the focus was on the farmers and not the trucks. I’m very thankful for all the farmers and ranchers of the world.
Thanks Liz! I agree.
And after the farmer wins the lottery, they ask him what he’s going to do with all that money – “Keep farmin’ til’ its all gone, I suppose,” he said…And God made a farmer …
The Budweiser people named the little colt “Hope”

Thanks Tina!
I loved that commercial, too. I especially found the part about staying up with a calf and then watching it die to be almost too hard to hear. How many times have you given your all to save an animal and had to return to the house exhausted and defeated? I didn’t realize anyone other than farmers living through it thought about that.

Thanks for the comment Stevie! And way too many times to count. That is one reason I started my blog in the first place. Farming is not just cute animals. It can get ugly and depressing too.
