So not only am I working on a farm, but the people who own the farm and my sponsors are some of the coolest people ever. They are a 26 years old and high school sweethearts, Jeff and Mel. First of all they own a farm and they are only 26 and they have been running this farm for 5 years now. Thats pretty cool. Not only is their job awesome, they are.
It is normal for them to be killing chickens at night, or wrangling sheep before lunch. Those are pretty normal days for them. Mel keeps telling me that she is a city girl, but she is so not. She has told me stories of her being thrown face first into pig crap while herding them into the truck, or just how she acts with Riley, one of their 4 dogs. Whenever we are working and there is a mouse that we see the first thing you'll hear out of Mel is "Riley! Get it boy!" It is almost an odd form of entertainment to see their dog try to kill this mouse.
Also, they aren't afraid to really do anything. Nothing grosses them out. Mel will be right next to me shoveling chicken crap into the back of the truck, or collecting eggs covered in crap. Also Jeff is just the man. He never stops. I still believe he is part bionic because he can lift anything and he never really seems to be tired. He will do anything and also he is one of those guys who goes hunting and all of that. In their summer truck there is a crossbow just sitting there. He loves trying to teach me how to do somethings because for him it is just so simple, but to me it seems completely odd. Im excited to continue to work with them
