the vaccinator

spent the day in the tailing pen vaccinating 2200 lambs.  got covered in sheep shit, blood and almost vaccinated myself against pulpy kidney, tetanus, blackleg, black blood and some other nasty bacterial infections half a dozen times (never quite managed to get that needle thru the skin luckily).  ran around in the sun chasing lambs up and down the paddocks, got seriously hit on by the "bro farm" tailing gang and then got the fun task of kicking 2200 lambs tails off the back of the truck into the gut hole.  did get quite nicely pissed on champers afterwards tho as we managed to break the 150% mark.  surprised myself by actually largely enjoying the day but it does reinforce my idea of never becoming a fulltime farmer!!

only if you bury them in a copper urn in a swamp for 172 days and 13 hours and then grind them up and sprinkle them inside a pair of old running shoes which you wear around your neck.

guess what you're getting for xmas :op
