When I was studying to be a veterinarian I had to work some hours with the milk cows that the university owned. As it was a public university all of the employees are part of a syndicate and they do whatever they want... Well every time that we had to catch a cow to cure her or something, we had to walk over a lot of pooh? and sometimes cows don't wanted to get caught so it was like skying on the pooh? while you were still holding the rope, I am glad I never fall down.
Also I made my thesis on goats and unfortunately the owner didn't have any help than the students that were doing their thesis. For the first month we were 5 people, then probably for 3 months I was alone, at least I am glad that the tractor (also from the university) went outside the building with the food, because I had to get over the tractor to get the fresh alfalfa & grass, clean all the food and water recipients, feed the animals, clean all the goats poph? medicate them, check all the new Born's, weight them, in case the mothers don't feed them then took the milk from some and give them to the kids.... I lost a lot of weight unfortunately after some years I have them back.
