Third Day

Today I got up at 5. I did the chores by myself which involved feeding both pens of sheep, pigs, donkeys, and doing general health checks. We then proceeded to tear down the lambing jugs and put up pens so we can wean on Sunday.

After setting up some things, I went into the cheese house and did some more cleaning in the aging room.

In the afternoon was the first time it hadn't been raining since I got here. It got quite warm actually and was very enjoyable. After break we did some more setting up for weaning/milking and Bob and I went to pick up some shavings for the milking ewes while they're in the holding area before milking.

After we completed that task, we set up the back of the pick up truck for moving the lambs on Sunday and proceeded to due evening chores most of which were by myself again. I learned how to make the milk for the bottle babies as well.

I like this job and I love the people I'm working for but I don't think being out in the middle of nowhere in Vermont is my thing... 14 1/2 more weeks until I'm home...
