Sometimes we worry about this and that and in the end nothing dramatic happens, and the fear is the worst enemy.

Very true, and not just in fiction.

Like, even *if* fellow farmers notice little things, no one would jump to the "Clark is an alien with superpowers" conclusion... but then fears are rarely logical.

There is no 'if' they notice. They do, at least Australian farmers do. It is actually impossible to drive past a paddock and not notice the state of the pasture, the condition of the livestock, the fences, the crop, the tractors etc. We like to know what everyone is doing, when, how, and whether it works! However, your point about whether noticing would lead to a conclusion about aliens and superpowers is valid.

The farmers I know do as much of their own vet work as possible, even without superpowers. Farms are often a distance from the vets, so there is the time factor, plus the cost factor.

Thanks for your regular and well thought out feedback.

Morgana Thanks for your comments, Morgana. Yes, animals can be very creative in getting into trouble. I'm glad the fic has brought back memories for you.
