Fridayyyy, Saturdayyyy, Sundayyyy!!

Milked at 5 which was basically all I did in the morning... plus cleaning up.

Afternoon I helped Bob a lot with making different food items and doing miscellaneous chores around the farm. I also got to do some fences... woo hoo... That night we got to go to Brattleboro to sell some cheese... plus one of the other interns was participating in a grilled cheese competition. It was a very interesting experience.


Saturday I milked at 5 again. We were supposed to only work 3 hours but I worked late. We were supposed to get some time to go to the strolling of the heifers parade, which we did but we were about half an hour late. Yet again, it was a wonderful experience.

Saturday was our first "test" on the farm. Bob had gone to the farmer's market in B-boro and Ann had gone to Maryland that morning and wouldn't be back until Sunday evening. When we started again at 2, we had a lot of work to do which the other interns seemed slow to start so I had to boot em in the butt kind of... I set up the milking parlor and equipment and went out to get the sheep with one of the other interns. I didn't have to milk, but I did have to set up fences...

I also had to help do mastitis testing because nobody else knows how to strip out a sheep. We've had some traces of mastitis so I had to test the whole herd. I did it both Saturday night and Sunday morning at 5. After stripping for mastitis Sunday morning I got a bit of a break because I had worked much more than the other interns. Tonight I just had some random work to do around the farm, much of which is normally expected anyway.

Tomorrow I get up at 5 and done at 9. And then the rest of the day off as well as Tuesday!!
