‘A little taste of country’
Franklin residents’ cows have become part of the family — and the community
| |
By Tori Keafer • Staff Writer
Typical pet owners are greeted at the door by a dog hopping up for attention and batting their legs with an animated tail or a cat nuzzling their ankles before puttering off to be alone again. The Ginn family is routinely greeted at the driveway by three animals much bigger than any dog — and so are all the people driving by.
On the outskirts of Cool Springs, just a couple miles from the CoolSprings Galleria, drivers relish in a little hint of country living as they pass a 3.5-acre property with cows in the yard, often right up by the fence watching the moving traffic. Jennifer and Bobby Ginn’s yard is a common destination for kids on a scavenger hunt looking to take a picture with livestock or for families to stop just for a few joyful moments.
