Ashley Miller/Staff Photographer Sam Neyer, 13, of Shepherd laughs and uses his cell phone as he briefly sits on top of his cow's head after feeding his family's cattle animal crackers Sunday afternoon outside his home in Shepherd. Neyer, a third generation farmer, works on his family's dairy farm and intends to take his father's job after college. In addition to the hundreds of cattle on the farm, Neyer and his family raise several in their backyard.
