And then came the cows. Here we were taught about cattle handling: Everything from restraining and putting on a halter on, to raising a back leg using a rope pully and putting a metal gag into the cows mouth (seen on the left), at the diastema, to prevent the cow closing it's jaws, enabling us students to get a better look inside. A little trickier than it looks with that musclular tounge flapping in the way, but with a bit of practice and a very pateint cow we were there.
