Well, I'm moaning and groaning this morning... (James, get your mind out of the gutter!)

Yesterday I went with the vet to help at a big cattle round up. I got to vaccinate the cows as they ran them through the chute, another guy dewormed, and the vet palpated for pregnancy. Sounds simple... lol... but nothing with cows is simple and it was a lot of cow wrangling and holding on while they tried anything to get out of the chutes. Cows are some ornery, stubborn critters, and it's amazing how high they can kick and jump. So after wrestling 100 cows, we then had to castrate the bull calves... it was a really fun day actually, once you got over the fact that no matter what, you were going to be covered in cow spit and manure... but oh man there's not anything on my that doesn't hurt today, LOL!!! I'm not anywhere near in the shape I used to be in... sigh... getting older is hell!!!
