So many numbers

Hey guys!

I lucked out today and I could actually go to the farm. We started off the morning by pouring milk into the barrels and sending them off the farm to be pasteurized. Then we did our usual routine, I chopped up pineapple for the cows, we gave them sugarcane, and cleaned their water. When they were herding the cows in I took a video to see which cows were limping really badly and I realized that a few of our cows have slipper hoof which is a severe case of chronic laminitis. This is really bad for the cows and needs to be addressed.

I took down some data while we were milking today since I didn't have to write down the milk yields. I took pictures of the cows with chronic laminitis, wrote down their BCS, their behavior, and cleanliness. I got a lot of work done today and I even got to leave early!

After heading back for a shower and some lunch, I went to help with an English class. Everyone was learning about different nationalities and geography which was very interesting. Apparently they don't stress geography in latin american schools. I like helping with english classes! Everyone wants to learn and while teaching them I use spanish to explain things. It's beneficial for everyone.

Once english class ended, I went to the cafeteria to finish up my spreadsheets and rubrics. There are so many numbers whirling around my head and it's gotten to the point where I can tell you off the top of my head our average overall time for forestripping-unit connection. It's insane.

Well, that was my day! Sorry it's really short, things aren't that interesting today. Tomorrow will be more interesting though, I can feel it!

Bye!
