My Dad ran a farrow-to-finish hog operation, so his farrowing barn held 50 sows from birth to about 8 weeks for weaning. We always castrated the males around 4 weeks, so my brother and I got the duty every Saturday unless it was Christmas or the Fourth of July.

One of my younger brothers is a pretty good gardener, and almost always plants his seed potatoes on Good Friday. Except here in Wisconsin, when Easter comes early in the year the ground is still frozen. I usually call him in those years and ask him if he wants help drilling some holes for planting. LOL
