Week 6:

This week wasn't great. I caught a bad cold which has effected my attitude towards work. I've also had to miss out on two days at the farm. Wednesday, I watched a movie called the Cove. The movie is about a dolphin trainer who travels to Taiji, Japan in order to free the dolphins that were being used for their meat. I found it hard to watch this movie because I hate to see dolphins die, and there were some fairly graphic scenes of the cove filled with blood in the water. The farm on friday last week, we had to vaccinate the cattle. The whole experience was a lot of fun because i had never seen anything like this happen in real life. I've only seen people herding cattle in movies. I actually got to inject vaccines into the cattle. I was shocked at how thick their skin was. At the end, when i thought we were done, I won't go into detail, but we castrated 2 bull calves. It was a great day, and i never thought i would be able to say I'd ever done either of those things.
