Finals time

I have taken 5 finals with one to go. My easiest final was for my animal husbandry class. All we did was go to my professor's alpaca farm and visit the neighboring farms in the area. We traveled about an hour south to Moroni which is where my professor lives. We went to a turkey farm, goat farm, sheep farm, dairy farm, turkey processing plant, and of course my professor's alpaca farm. My professor and his wife fed us a great turkey dinner. It was delicious. All these pictures were taken from my cell phone so please forgive the poor quality.

This is my class all dressed up to go into the turkey processing plant. Let me just say that the movie Food Inc. is crap.

The dairy cows loved me and followed me along the fence as I walked.

On the milking carousel. I am amazed at how efficient this farm is. They recycle their manure into electricity and water.

This mare and foal were at the sheep farm. Our teacher was explaining the ins and outs of sheep farming when he realized that 90% of the class left to look at the horses. He gave in and came and looked at the horses with us.

These goats absolutely adored me. I forgot how good goats smell. Aside from horses, they are my favorite smell. My class was lined up along the fence and three goats came up just to me. One was rubbing its head on my boot and then I had one for each hand. My professor couldn't believe it.
He said that I am a goat whisperer.

I forgot how funny turkeys are. This barn had 6,000 turkeys in it. They were so curious and came right up to us and pecked at our boots.
