Sometimes life not only goes on after politics but moos if ignored.
While Rep. Ken Tschumper, DFL-LaCrescent, lost reelection, it did settle the question of his dairy herd.

Tschumper, a dairy farmer, found it difficult to attend to business in St. Paul while tending to the cows.
Last session the legislator spoke of perhaps selling the herd — something he was reluctant to do.
“I had told my wife that if I won reelection I would sell my cows, but I didn’t get reelected so I still have them,” said Tschumper in an email.
“I had to let my hired guy go so I am back to milking twice each day myself and am enjoying it,” he said.
