Description
Osborndale Ivanhoe was a bull who became
an unlikely celebrity. He defied e
xpectations and challenged long-established
notions of what constituted a champion
Holstein. But his fame was dependent on one
mans stubborn insistence that the animal
was, indeed, special. Carla Panciera spent
years with her father and his famous herd
traveling from county fair to county fair,
and answering the same questions: Is that Aldo Panciera? and Are you Aldos daughter? This memoir is based on the real man and his very real effort to make a living at what he loved. He was a demanding teacher and an unappeasable boss, but he was also a father who finished night milking and took his daughter for sled rides down a frozen hillside, or for a spin on the local carnivals Ferris wheel, or who paused, plowing fields, to pick her the first wildflowers of the season. Barnflower is about a man and his work and what that life demanded of his family. Read about the bond between a father and daughter and their love for the kind of life they shared, a kind of life that is both a critical and a vanishing part of our history.
