Agriculture isn't just about planting seeds for fruits, vegetables, or trees to grow. It's all about the innerworkings of life itself, the whole ecosystem of animal life, rural life, growth, and renewal.

Life connects in every single way all the time. You may be eating at a "farm to table" restaurant, and think there's essentially a farm in the kitchen where cows are being milked on the spot, you may think that as a city dweller you're exempt from the life of farm animals, or you may think that a cowboy or farmer is a life so unlike your own. In the grand scheme of things, everything is connected. The lives of farm animals are sitting on the cusp of the city dweller's life in ways that are unimaginable. Take it from Fleetwood Mac in their hit song, The Farmer's Daughter - "Glad to help you plow your fields." We should all be helping each other plow their fields. The undeniable charm about life in the countryside is just about that, that we all have to rely on each other for success. The weathered barns won't get by without your help, and the silence of the trees won't be interrupted if it weren't for the birds.

If you're a fan of rural living, animals, and Fleetwood Mac, then you'll definitely enjoy this collection of agricultural animals. These critters are really living their best lives, in raw, rural, rustic barns, farms, and agricultural areas. There's something comforting about wide open space, about the gravity of silence that nature provides when no one is looking, and the animals that live there too. Cows, horses, sheep, lambs, goats, pigs, birds, chickens, roosters, farm dogs, feral cats, and other critters are all apart of the equation. So happily enjoy the animals below.

Sometimes farm animals really do just perk you up. Fleetwood Mac and farm life fit so well somehow. My favorite Fleetwood Mac song is “Crystal,” there's just something about the melody and the slow buildup that really speaks to me. They're a rocking chair kind of band, but they're also just a normal rock band.
