A new dramedy TV series co-written by an Ontario 4-H alum will focus on cow-showing, informed by the writer’s own experiences.
Cows Come Home is co-created by Lindsey Middleton and centres on a woman who moves back to her hometown to rebuild her life with her best friend through the world of competitive cow-showing. Middleton also stars as the series lead Tabby Acres.
Cows Come Home is based on Middleton’s own upbringing in Fort Erie and her five years of experience in the Bertie 4-H Dairy Club.
