Well, I leave for Sydney in 8 days! My summer break here in Texas sure has flown by! It’s been hectic, but fun! In January, I spent a week working at dairy farm in La Grange. Had a fantastic experience milking cows, bottle feeding calves, and witnessed a calving! I also worked at a chicken farm and a Braham cattle ranch in Boling during February. I’ve never seen so many chickens and eggs in my entire life! One of the houses that I worked in houses 240,000 chickens! Learned how to trim beaks and do blood draws. At the Brahman ranch, I’ve learned a lot about the wonders of breeding and surrogacy. It’s pretty strange when you see a big black Angus Mom with a baby that is a pure-bred Brahman calf! At the cattle place, I spend most of my time grooming prized show bulls, heifers, and cows to get them ready for the Houston livestock show. I’ve grown attached to 1 particular heifer. When I enquired about her cost, I can own half of her for a mere $30,000. I also discovered that this small quiet country town of Boling has 2 nudist communities. (I saw the signs, but didn’t see anything though.) On the weekends, I’ve been working with an Arabian horse breeder. These horses are incredible and fun to watch. They all have unique personalities. One horse is a liar and another horse, a stallion, loves to play with traffic cones and barrels!
