This document provides an overview of a day with Gösta Ekman, a farmer who lives in the village of Främshyttan with his wife Ingrid. It describes Gösta's house where they live with their dog, his cows that roam freely in the meadow, and his busy farmstead where work must be done even on Saturdays clearing cow dung. Photos show Gösta working hard at the farm, newborn calves, and tracks around Gösta's house from his tractor and two lynxes that walked around at night.
