Farm visit

A good thing about being at SLU is that we get to have some practical view of what we’re learning by making study visits/field trips/excursions/whatever you call them in English. It’s always nice to have some animal contact and also to hear from the producers who work with these animals every day.

Today we had an exercise with some dairy cows in a herd near Uppsala which was somewhat interesting. The only thing is that the smell on the way home is not so pleasant for the others around us, especially when on some kind of public transport. On the positive side, the bad smell usually means that no one sits next to you, so there’s often extra room.

Weirdly enough after spending all morning with cows, all I can think about is having steak. Evil right?
