Monday morning was spent with the farm vet to check for pregnancies in eight cows. Next on the "job list" was to feed the yearling cattle as well as the younger calves. By 5:00pm it was time to milk the heard. This takes roughly an hour and thirty minutes due to the fact that only nine cows can be milked at a time.
Over the next two days the routine jobs were completed as well as helping out with a calving.
The three days I spent have been very useful to me as they have allowed me to spend time with large animals that I have never worked with before previously.
