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.

Used to hate rock picking. Now it's a job I brag about, being in my 60's and still able to pick up tons of rocks, unlike the neighbors who hire lazy kids. Jim
