My first AMA! I can't say that I am terribly interesting but there are some things I can tell you about
Live in rural NE grew up on a farm. Raise cows/ride horses 2nd degree black belt in tae kwon do Have a background in real estate and I currently work a gov run law firm and getting ready to go back to school to be an "official" paralegal.

When I was little I was in 4-h and used them for moving cows. Now just for leisure. We are in the process of getting DD up and comfortable on a horse. My FIL raises them and is the one that taught me to ride when I was younger.
During calving season (now) getting up for the night checks really suck. Thankfully DH does it after he gets home from work around midnight. I enjoy helping move cows (when they cooperate)

All of them?! I really like cheesecake and any type of cake you put in front of me. Apple and peach pie I'm pretty fond of as well.
cake > pie, but I love my MIL's pies and H grandma's cheesecake. I tried to copy it one time it came out pretty decent. A little dry but not too bad for the 1st try.
Yes. They aren't my favorite thing in the world but I love just about any form of beef. Especially home grown beef we get from one of our own cows.
Is it ever weird for you to eat your own cows? Like, do you develop a relationship with them and then feel sad when you eat one? I've always wanted to ask this question to someone who raises their own beef!

Do you like to bake?
Yes. I have to be in the mood, but since we moved to our new house in November, I have a bigger kitchen and enjoy it more now that I actually have space to work with.

No. There are so many of them that you don't get attached. The ones we choose to butcher are ones that are sickly, or haven't produced a calf for several years.
When I was younger, my parents also had cattle and you have to start off small and work up to a large herd and we named all of the first cows we got. We even had one tame enough to go up and pet her. We kept her until she passed of old age. She was pretty fun.
Do you have crazy relatives? If so, who is the craziest and why?
My entire family is crazy. At least my dad's side is. I have an aunt (uncle's wife) the is pretty eccentric and is constantly weirding everyone out. She has good intentions but is bad about her delivery.
I have lots of those, but I would have to say it is the day that I knew I loved DH. I am a huge Elvis Presley fan, and we were sitting out during a nice spring day and he has an old school record player that is in a big console table thing. He dug up an old Elvis record and sat there and listened to it with me. It was probably the sweetest memory. It was so simple but so perfect at the same time.
