A Vet Student In England
A Vet Student In England
A vet student asked me if I wanted to follow up some of her housemates that worked during the sheeping season in Redditch, England as a vet. There was one problem they were looking for fourth year students, but I got away with it being a third year student. One of her housemates showed me on a sheep model how to redeem a sheep and I bought a reader about how to lamb a sheep.
The Sheep Farm
The Sheep Farm
A 24-hour trip with 3 buses from Utrecht to Redditch and I am in the countryside of England. Never seen before, but so empty and beautiful. Lot’s of sheep. The whole extended farm family greeted us, and I could fresh up and have dinner. Later, I was shown around, and I could start instantly, the farmer had been lambing day and night and said good luck!
The First Night Lambing
The First Night Lambing
With the first signs of lambing I panic! I feel inside the sheep and it is not laying as in the books. I call the very tired farmer, and he helps, and I see how it is done. the farmer says a bit angry: 'Please, don’t wake me up at night anymore'. I can perform complicated lambing from then on.
The Night Shifts Lambing
The Night Shifts Lambing
A month long I take on the night shifts and lambed around 200 sheep. Most of them live to be the super nice dinner lamb dishes. Some were served at dinner at the farm. I love the food there, every day a fresh cooked typical English dish. It is a seasonal job and a good practice for a vet student.
