It's a poopy job....

Dana convinced me that since the kids are out of town with cousins, that it would be a good idea to get up at 4am, on a Sunday, to help him go wash out the cow hauler trailer. It's alot of work! I had NO idea... Jayden usually goes with him to help out. I did what she usually does, and I am sore today. The hose that they use to wash out with is kind of like a huge rubber fire hose, tons of pressure and it's heavy. Cows trucks have a top level, with little steps on the outside of the trailer. You have to climb up that ladder, with the hose! Dana said that Jayden just climbs right up, no problems! I struggled with it! I'm a little embarrassed to admit that.

The trailer hadn't been washed in about 2 weeks. Cows, lots of cows, have been in that trailer everyday... yea, there was alot of poop! I knew cows pooped alot, but dang, they should hold it while they are riding the bus! It was hot, humid, stinky, and wet in the trailer... but we got it done in about 3 hours. Kinda sad that it will only be clean until the first load of cows get in there.

I love love love going out to Milky Way Dairy in Maricopa. Dana helped move all the dirt to build this dairy, he knows the owner really well. There are so many milk cows out there, that there are calves being born ALL day long! I really like to go and play with the new babies, they are so tiny and cute. I always want to bring them home, and Dana always says no. I try and tell him that it can stay in the backyard, so far, he isn't convinced! *pout*

I love this little cutie!
