Day 4...
After an epic journey in - 2 hours sat in Ralph - everyone met at the workshop with the plan to get out in the field.. But due to the good ' ol British weather we were unable to do that and the plan reverted back to the classroom timetable (for the time being anyway). So back in tg1 we had a presentation on the construction of a tractor. Everyone had a go at naming the main components and then each was described and discussed in further detail. Four pages of notes taken (lots to learn).
Pm consisted of us being split into two working groups - girls AND boys not g's v's b's - and after a bit of bribery group one (with me in it) headed off to have an afternoon of sheep practical...
Sheep rounded up
Sheep penned
Sheep generally observed
Then came the dirty work, in turn we had a go at turning a sheep over, my first ever go, then it was a three t check - teeth, teats and toes!!!
We were then kitted up ready to 'drench' six sheep each... 20 mg of stuff administered orally with a buddy marking each one on the back of the head with a dot to confirm done.
Claggy behinds were cleaned up by dom and we then returned the rather wild herd back to their field for some much needed grazing relaxation.
Cool day with lots of new things experienced!!!
