Hiding from cows in Kildare/Wicklow/Dublin

Hi friends, family, etc. I figured since Katie's blog was such a good way to keep up with what was going on the daily lives of the Moellerings, I'd do the same in case anyone is bored at work/interested. I don't have that much to say just yet. This week I'm seeing cattle and some small animal practice in Counties Kildare, Wicklow and Dublin with Mr. John Fitzgerald. We mostly spend our days going out to beef herds to test their cattle for TB and Brucellosis. When the farmers start to move their cows into the races for us to test them, Mr. Fitzgerald always tells me to stay out of their field of vision so they don't feel nervous about going into the race (they don't like the sight of strangers- it makes them nervous). Hence we spend a lot of our time hiding behind hay bales.

Guess what was lying in the middle of Red Mtn Expressway today? Bales of hay - and not just one, but five or six! We were swerving all over the place.
Jump out and scare a cow for me!
