Term 1 Holiday Reflection 2017

During the holidays I have been out on farm with my mum, hanging with friends and more. My mum is a vet, so she goes on lots of  call outs/has lots of jobs to do. During my time out with mum we have seen cows with problems such as, infections, scanning to see if the cow has a calve (if not, sent to the works) and more. One thing I found very interesting and wanted to research about was a cow that we saw while scanning the cows. This cow was a Free-martin... From my understanding and some of my  research is that a Free-martin is a cow who is a twin with a male cow and got confused what gender they are meant to be, therefore looking like a girl, but its not but it is at the same time. The Free-martin looks like a girl, but has no udders or uterus. These cows usually get sent to the works, because of this problem. Also during the holdidays I went out to Marakopa with my friend and meet lots of her family. We saw all the flooding around that area. We walked up the streets and roads in the flooding water, which in fact the water was about up to my waist and higher. With out intentions my mum and I went out to Marakopa a few days later to a dog that I had revived about 16 months ago. 16 months ago, the puppy was dead when it came out of its mum (the dog), and I decided to try revive it as everyone thought it had died. I ended up getting it to scream like a kitten, which indicates that its alive. Overall my Term one holidays was exciting and interesting at the same time.
