Tuesday morning I helped clean up with the person that milked, I had a break from 9-10:30, which was when we were to go to the auction. It wasn't the first auction I had been to, but any of the other auctions I had gone to were strictly cattle auctions. This auction, however, had all types of livestock and also hay and corn. It was very interesting and I also learned to come prepared if you plan on buying hay and only have a pick up truck... Ugh. Oh well, we managed.
Today I milked and then did a lot of clean up stuff including fully cleaning out the holding pen. I also brush hogged some more and weeded garlic. I learned a lot of things about growing garlic in the process which I find fairly interesting. After we finished with the garlic for the day, I came back and cleaned the milking parlor.
I feel that we do a fair amount of 'grunt work' here, but we also are given excellent opportunities to go along with it, and it's not like the interns are the only ones doing it. The owners do it too. I really do enjoy the education and experience I am getting here.
