Needle and Haystack Life

Well it's been a week here at the farm and I think Everything is finally clicking. It's Sunday, so a pretty slow day. Woke up bright and early, well dark and early I guess since I'm up before the sun, fetched some cows and calves from the field, and did the milking. I just found out that we're milking round 140 cows! And we do that twice a day, but it really doesn't seem like that many, it's crazy! I helped feed some calves and the mucked out a trough, where I found a chain that had fallen off a gate. When I gave it to my supervisor he told me that there was a small pin that went with it, and could I search for it? (also I should mention that HE was the one who had lost it in there in the first place!) so I searched through the mucky hay and I found it! So I'm not
Completely useless! We also had a down cow this morning, she slipped and we had to hoist her up and give her IV Ca, Ca bolus, and sub-Q Mg, and I think she's doing better now.
So after a pretty lazy day of watching F1 racing, it was time to milk again. I helped clean out the shed where the cows are kept, never done that before, and when I went into the gate to fetch the cows one of them licked me! So I got licked by a cow today, apparently they do that when they are ready for the bull ie: ready to be impregnated. Milking went very smoothly, then the milk man came and he took the milk in his truck. He comes every day but this is the first time I've ever seen him, so that was cool. Also today a cow kicked the dipping liquid we dip their teets in before attaching the milked right into y face, so my eye was a bit red and sore for a while, it also got in my mouth and it tasted disgusting, but better than poop! For dinner we had really good curry that the farmers wife made, she's a great cook! And the last of the chocolate cake that I brought for them. Then we chatted a bit and in doing some laundry since my clothes smell very cowy.
It's crazy that I've been here a week already! I've ticked all the boxes I wanted to by coming here, though I still want to try my hand at cranking out a calf but that may not be possible, so we'll see. I also wanted to see a Caesarian, but that's extremely unlikely, and obviously you can't make that happen unless it does! And now I am off to bed! The pictures are of their living room, I'm totally obsessed with this house!
