Friday, February 26, 2010 Hay for My Heifers to Munch On
Is Will Gilmer the next American Idol? Judging by his most recent YouTube video, I’d say “Sure, why not?” His latest video, “Hay for my Heifers to Munch On,” was filmed in his heifer pasture, where he sings about how he feeds his heifers during the winter. Both the songwriter and performer, Gilmer sings to the tune of “What’s Up,” a popular song by the one-hit-wonder group 4 Non Blondes.
As I mentioned, this isn’t Gilmer’s first video. We reported on one he created four months ago creatively titled “Water ‘n Poo”. When he’s not working on the farm in Lamar County, Ala., Gilmer is a social media star, creating YouTube videos, managing his blog and tweeting.
What does he hope to accomplish with all of these social media tactics? It’s simple. He wants to tell his story and communicate to those not familiar with the dairy industry how he cares for his animals and the environment.
We applaud his efforts!

Great post Jamie, very entertaining. I think I like Gilmer's version better than the orginal song!
