Not only did they have sheep on the farm, but also around 70 suckler beef cows, 2 bulls (meet Trigger on the left there) and lots of calves. So, there were 3 calves that needed de-horning and castrating. Scalpel in hand, I successfully removed the testicles of an unsuspecting bull-calf and removed the horns, using a wire, (and a lot of muscle,) of 2 calves. All great experience, and one of the highlights of my 2 weeks so far.Wednesday, 4 April 2007
