Day 2

Tuesday morning it was time to learn some pig info.  After a lecture in which we briefly learned some information about pigs, we were ready to go.  We used a snare to snag the pigs on their upper snout to restrain them and then each student got to draw blood from a pig's jugular and swab their nasal cavity.  It was really neat as I have never drawn blood before and I find pigs kind of neat.  After lunch we went to the beef cattle barn and although we did not actually work with the cows we learned how to use a hydraulic chute and learned varying information involved with raising beef cows.  Tuesday was more exciting than Monday for sure!
