WWoofing!! part 5 -- MittelRot from 2/8 to 15/8/2011

Keeping doing wwoofing in Germany until the 20th, I went to another farm in a little village called Mittelrot.
I had a very nice welcome in the family and I really appreciated to work for them.
they are milk farmers (is it how you say in English?), so the work was basically concerning the cows. getting the news calfs after the birth, milking the cows morning and evening, cleaning the stable, bringing water into the fields, changing cows from a field to another, cutting grass, cutting wood, driving tractors around, making hay and most of all, having fun all the time, with the people, the cats and the dogs.

hope the pictures let see how much fun it was :D
