Week 2

This week, I got to know my co-workers and started to learn more about them. My co-worker, Trey Aycock, is pictured to the left with his horse, Packman. I also work with Brant John son a fellow cattle farmer. Finally, my boss is CJ O'Mara. CJ worked with the University of Georgia for many years with their cows and farm. As far as responsibilities and duties, Trey and Brant check the cows daily and make sure they have water, feed, and enough grass for the week. They also do a routine check to make sure none of the calves or cows are injured or in need of doctoring. CJ usually plans out the week rotation and makes sure we have the equipment/feed for the week in order to make sure we keep an exact schedule of when to doctor and tend to the cows. For the most part, we all work together throughout the week to make each group work and comfortable for the weekend, then start back Monday to assess the rotation for the week.
