    I kind of can’t believe I’m writing this, but here I am, writing a farewell column. This will be my last issue as a full-time Tri-State Neighbor journalist. Don’t worry, I’m not going away completely. I’ll still freelance from time to time, and I really would like to continue my Livestock Legacies series.
