Wrapping Up My Internship

#bfrdpwy #aginternship #RightRisk

This week was mostly calm, except for when a fire was started a couple miles from the ranch by lightening and the heifers got into the two year olds. The rest of the week was spent raking hay and checking waters. As the week ended we packed out stuff and prepared to leave.

At the beginning of the week a fire was started by a lightening storm. A couple of days later the heifers got out and we had to sort them back into their part of the pasture. The bulls had broken through the fence during the night and half the of the heifers had gotten into the cows and calves. We fixed the fence and then had to sort the heifers off of the cows and calves and back into their trap in the pasture.

By the end of the internship I didn’t have any questions. Through out the internship any questions that I had I made sure to ask even if they felt like they had simple answers. My hosts were amazing and anytime I had a question no matter how stupid it seemed I was able to ask and they answered it without judgement. They always had answers to any question I asked and were always willing to take the time to answer them.

I plan to use everything that I have learned this summer to help run an operation and make decision on how to run the day to day and the larger parts of an operation. I think that this internship has given me a lot of tools and knowledge to help me in a future career.
