text: While being a Seagoing Cowboy I had to check on the animals every hour to three hours. Cleaning stalls and feeding all the animals takes up a long period of time. You had to get down loads of bales of hay and oats which ment you had ot be strong. You also need to be careful around the ship and being on the ship, you could get hurt by one of the animals or something could happen to you like what happend to me, I fell down a slippery ladder and got caught by a metal peice hanging on the boat, I did crack a few ribs but I didn't fall into the ocean.
