Today we did stock tacking at the Maintenance store the reason we do this is to see if everything is back were it is supposed to be and if everything is in working condition.We have a sign out booklet were you have to  sign out the equipment you want to use so this helps to find that equipment in the case were it has just vanished.I also got the chance to to look for an animal that has dead.We were driving in the bush with Klaas and in a certain zone there was an awful smell and we started searching we did not find anything and got Oom Sieg for help he showed as a method of locating the source of this smell.You get a few people and there were the smell is the worst you start putting people in that line.It shows round about the line the animal is it was not 5min later then we got it an Eland bull that passed away.The reason for its death was a fight with another bull the other bulls horn went threw the stomach.

I worked at the Farmyard with the donkey cart were I took people on rides this was fun you get to learn how to speak and work with children.We went out to do fence checks after this,this is were you drive on the boarder lines of the farm and check for any problems on the fence and any holes luckily enough there were not to many problems and the ones there were,were minor.

I worked at the Farmyard again but with the money mostly this was a bit different and you need to concentrate a lot as you working with the money of guests and if something is wrong it is all on you.I learned the importance of a receipt as you have to count the money after wards and if it does not match there is some kind of problem that you will have to have the answers for.Responsibility and honesty is KEY!!
