Today highlights my experience as a future haciendero. Roping, grappling, and restraining: they were arduous tasks. The cows were really strong, not to mention smart...maybe because they are UP cows.

Surprisingly, I was the first one to capture the cow using the lasso. I feel that I have this heroic cow-boy blood embedded in me, kidding.

" I WILL FEAR NO EVIL" even if evil comes in the form of poop and pee. I was the only one bare-footed since no boots fit me. At first, it was really disgusting. Eventually, it actually felt pretty good; it was mushy and quite warm. I just had the best "manure foot-spa".
