My hands are all Blistered up now...
It's not easy as it looks in Harvest Moon...
My hands are all hurting and some parts are sort of watery inside and blistered... they're going to be calloused in a while...
My father was out yesterday morning. One of his friends told me that there are some students performing a community extension service today. They will be giving out free vitamins for the cows.
Since dad was out, I had no choice but to be the one to head out. We only have a few cows grazing in a field that it somewhere behind our house. I don't even know exactly which is ours, so I had to ask around.
I managed to identify all four of them. The task of pulling them to a tree so the injections could be done is a bit hard. Mainly because they don't recognize me. The cows probably thought I was a thief or something... hehehe...
Anyway, the two bulls were the biggest pain in the butt. The younger one was just stubborn and didn't want to move. It took a lot of pulling on my part to make him follow me. Though he would suddenly stop walking and just resisted... Then, I'll have to pull again to encourage it to move...
The last bull, being a bit older, got a lot of fight in him. He didn't want to be pulled around, every time I would come close, he'll snort and lower his head. Apparently, the veterinary students also know how to do some rodeo thing, so they tied up the bull with a few ropes and forced it to lie down. It wasn't an easy task. It took a lot of time. I myself suffered from a rope burn on my left hand when I was pulling it and it suddenly ran away. I tried to let go of the rope but I was not fast enough. A small patch of skin got torn. Owww...
Anyway, the other two, which was a calf and its mother, was easier. However, I don't know why, but it seems the students were very eager to go cow wrangling or something, because they went and made the calf to lie down on its back. It would have been easier and less traumatizing for the little thing if they just tied it to the nearby pole...
Well, anyway, that's done. I was pretty exhausted from all the pulling and guiding the cows, and also my hands are a bit painful. There are some sore spots and some scratches on my arm.
I haven't done this type of job in a while. Was it fun? Sort of...
Let's just say that you shouldn't be fooled by Harvest Moon when it comes to animal husbandry, OK?
See you around!
