Rubber Boots and Overalls
Me and my Farmhand
When you are mucking out in the cowshed it is important to have a reliable farmhand. I am so lucky that I have such a farmhand that is not affraid of taking a firm hold of the dung fork and work hard to clean out the manure. Before starting the dirty work you need to ensure that he is equipped for the work: Overalls and some big rubber boots that can stand the manure. Big black Nora boots are suitable for this purpose.
