deworming cows - plus 8 degrees



Yesterday, was big deworming day. We dewormed the cows. Everyone who was there and available was helping. We were 5 bodys to help. I got a carrot stick and was sent to walk around the cow herd to make them move up to the corral where the shoot was. Then, when the whole herd was up on the little hill we chased them to the corral with the shoot. My job was now to put two posts in behind the last cow so they cant go backwards and escape. And when the deworming stuff was on their back, take the posts out so the next group can come in. It was fun and I really enjoyed this kind of work. I even had the chance to pet a bull ;) He wasnt so happy about it and walked away ;D The best thing was the warm (!) weather. Even the kittys were enjoying the nice weather, they were everywhere even in the cow pen :D It was plus 8 degrees when we were outside and worked with the cows but soon the temperature started to drop and clouds were coming in too :( It was just to show us how it could be when it would be spring... Winter is not giving up yet...
