Nothing screams poor barn management louder than bad odor. Elizabeth’s got him there; but that just goes along with everything we have seen about Uncle Danny and his farm skills so far. Today he puts “hay down” for the calves by using his pitch fork to throw hay right on top of the calf behind him.
Straw is a stalk, usually a waste product of wheat, that’s used as bedding for barnyard animals. Hay—typically alfalfa or a grass—is used as animal feed. I am going to guess that Uncle Danny really means to say he is putting down straw and not hay, but doesn’t feel the need to correct Elizabeth on the differences between straw and hay. After all, a lot of people use the terms interchangeably.
Aside from calling Uncle Danny on the barn odor, I also like that Elizabeth is aware enough to be staring at pigs; but only discusses cows, chickens and lambs when talking about Jesus.
