    Suppertime at H & H Dairy off Bull Run Road



    2008-04-08 - Hutchison Road off Bull Run Road, Adair County, KY - Photo By Pen.
    AS DAVID HUTCHISON comes into view with a giant square bale of hay, the supper club of Holsteins head for dinner. Though the position of the cow in the center might suggest she is the lead cow, Mr. Hutchison says this is not necessarily the case, though herds do have lead cows. This one was probably just lucky, and hungrier than the rest, and got the lead on the crowd, he said. H&H Dairy and Hutchison Holsteins operations are located east of the Corbin Cemetery. The photo was taken from the access drive in front of cemetery on Monday, April 7, 2008 around suppertime. For cows.
