My First Ranch Day!

So yesterday was my first time ever being around farm animals and doing work on a ranch. I have to say it was quite interesting. Kenzie and I worked together throughout the day. Our first job was to clean the cow pasture. It was pretty easy to sweep the dirt off the walkway and wash the manure down into the drain. However, the next job was much more difficult. We had to herd the cows into the feeding trough. These cows were so stubborn and did not want to put their heads through the little gates. It didn't help that I had no idea what to do to get them to move. It was very frustrating, but finally after a long time we got all the cows through. Next we cleaned out the horse stalls. It wasn't that bad until one horse didn't like us being in his stall. He put his ears back and started stomping one leg over and over and we knew it was time to get out of there! After that we swept a few floors here and there and our ranch work was done. On our way back to the house we saw chickens getting their heads cut off. It was disturbing...and I must add that we had chicken for dinner later that night. Lets just say I couldn't finish my meal.
