So last update it was my birthday, and, as you probably have figured out already, I got smashed. Me and Chris went to the two local pubs and talked to a bunch of people. We learnt that the nearest club to go to is roughly an hour away by cat. Sigh.
The morning after me and Chris started milking and let me tell you, I was still drunk when I woke up. Chris was in the same shape as me and of course forgot to shut one of the gates properly which resulted in cows running rampant all over the farm. Needless to say nowadays we are very careful with closing everything properly.
The other days have passed with stuff being learnt and other things getting used to. One thing I can't seem to get used to though, is the gpd damn flies.
Disaster struck yesterday when one of the cows took a slide on the platform. As mentioned, it's just me and Chris ay the moment, so we kinda paniced a bit. Thank god she was able to stand after about fifteen minutes of me and Chris just staring at her wondering what to do.
Today, we weren't as lucky. Because whaddayaknow? Another cow tripped, slipped and fell on the platform. This one however, did not get up again. We had to pull her out from the platform and rescue her, then chase her back to the paddock. What a life for a farmer...
Our new wifi doesn't seem to work properly so I'll try to add pictures later. I promise I'll add some pictures of a baby-calf when I can!
Looking forward to coming home and see all of you guys! First though; 1, make a lot of money, 2, book a party trip, 3, get royaly smashed.
See you on the flip side.
