I can repeat a few of the jobs some of the other posters mentioned. Pitching manure, especially away from the hay manger, castrating those 150 pounders, chopping thistles, carrying ground feed walking the bunks. One winter dad had seven bunks lined up and I carried 250 pails a day down those bunks. Wouldn't have been so bad if the cattle's heads weren't in the way.
