After yesterday, I say that there should be a ban on study visits during winter. Or at least on days where it’s as cold as yesterday. Unfortunately there was no opportunity for practical work with the animals, so yesterday’s visit ended up being exactly like a lecture, but in a frozen barn (and partly outside) instead of in a semi-warm classroom. Not comfortable at all.
One of the farms we visited, from what I understand, was donated to the state on the condition that it would be leased to a prince of the royal family, and it is currently leased by the king of Sweden. On the way there I couldn’t help but make fun: “Oh yeah, I’m sure the king is at his farm aaaaaaaall the time...”. It seems like I spoke too soon, for when we arrived at the barn the man himself was there, as was his son. At least we know what the ‘royal treatment’ was like at that farm: instead of being in the frozen barn, you get to be in the warm office looking into the barn.
