Miss Victoria: How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm 2017-08-03 - Miss Victorias Pampered Angus Ranch, Greater Bliss, Adair County, KY - Photo by Miss Victoria Browning Pike. The burning question for the demure rancher who gives her 'girls' everything in the world, is "How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, after they seen the bright lights of New Columbia/(Greater Bliss)"? Here, they are "Girls heading uptown Greater Bliss-New Columbia," Miss Vicky writes, a realization that 'more' is a deep seated yearning of the kindred ilk: Cows and Humankind. More astounding is that it has became a common saying around these parts, "If I die, I want to come back to earth as one of Vicky's Pampered Black Angus cows." Such is the fabulous luxury her "girls" live in. So far, with the high security enclosures, there has been no jailbreaks. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
