Up before the cows!

Today I was up bright and early at 4am! When we arrived at the farm the cows were still sleeping, so you know it was early! I'm upping my PD game and starting to manipulate the repro tract and feeling new things and I used my left arm today so that was new, and a nice rest for my right! Them we went and vaccinated some calves. Afterwards I worked in the milk lab a bit and reading plates and looking at total proteins. Then I went with a vet to the sales yard where we thought there were going to be on a few calves to check, but in reality there were over 200! It was certainly a different world at the sales yard, maybe not my very favourite part of this job, but so far everyone here is really nice and helping me learn a bunch! I even learned a new type of organism that causes mastitis! Also I passed all my exams (all As by some miracle) so I'm OFFICIALLY in my 5th year!!!!! So excited for this upcoming year now that its finally here!
