So this morning one of my colleagues looked at my hands and said "What did you get up to at the weekend then? You didn't rob another bank did you?"

downside of animals and an office job!!!

I got in the way of a cow who really didn't want to be jagged with anti-bs... She's got a touch of mastitis, so needs anti-bs and stripping out.
I was holding the tail end pole in place so it didn't fall out and expose OH to a kicking, but got my hand between the crush and the pole - and it got squashed.
Cue large swelling, immersion in a bucket of cold water, and glorious technicolour bruising. It's now got to the purple stage - who needs purple spray anyway?

That sounds painful, Factotum, hope it's soon better. You don't need purple hands to advise folk that you deal with livestock though. Last Christmas I had a frantic 'phone call from my daughter, PLEEEEEESE could I go to the children's Nativity, she had a crisis at work!!
Well of course I could and did! But had to go straight from the land, wellies and all. I found a seat and sat down.......the lady to my left gave a nervous smile and moved down one seat, the man to my right (already one seat away) moved down one more. I had a quick sniff at the sleeve of my jacket and realised why. An (I thought) attractive whiff of sheep, a little eau de pig but perhaps I put on a little too much of the poultry and dog!!!!!!!

Ah, yes - the aromatic trail we leave behind us...
I smell of milk at the mo - giving calfies a hug does mean you get covered in milky slobber, and they seem to love tasting overalls and any other stuff within reach.
Smell or not, I wouldn't have it any other way. ;D

Try going to the supermarket it clears your path and shortens the queue at the checkout

I emptied a service station toilets when we stopped while travelling a male goat in a van.
