Job Duties

As I explained in the post below, when I was young my parents ran a dairy farm. I was about 8 to 10 years old and a little young to actually do the milking. In those days, after the milking machine was done, the remainder of the milk had to be stripped from the cow's udder. Both my mother and father did this. One of my jobs was to stand behind the cows with a large shovel and anticipate when the cows decided to take a dump. This was generally preceded by the raising of the tail and other characteristic movements (by the cow, not my parents). Also, for those not familar with barn yard bowel movements, cows do not deliver in neat, orderly packets like horses but rather deliver it in a fairly liquid like consistency. When the cows delivered their execretory gifts, my duties included catching it in the shovel before it hit the floor and spattered all over somebody. I have been practicing law for the past 32 years and my duties during that time have been basically the same as they were in the dairy barn.
