Barn job described

Currently, I work in the barn in the morning and in the evening. A list of what I do in the morning: 1.) Carry three big buckets of cooked oats from the house to the barn and portion into smaller buckets for the pigs. 2.) Clean out sheep's eating area and feed dried outs. 3.) Feed the bigger piglets because they are making so much noise, and if you haven't heard the squealing of pigs, you don't want to. It is one of the worst sounds on earth. 4.) Let mom pig #1 out of barn to walk around outside while I muck out bathroom area, take said muck to compost pile, change water, give new straw for bathroom area, give a nice size portion of hay to eat, and give cooked outs and bread to eat. Once all this is done in her pen I let her back in to feast. 5.) Do the same as number 4 for mom pig #2 and the small piglets. 6.) Give new straw to bigger piglets and tons of water 7.) Feed hay to sheep and give new water 8.) Clean up floor 9.) Prepare for evening feeding by soaking bread and filling up buckets with oats. 10.) Take oats to house and boil water to add to the buckets so the oats can cook during the day.

In the evening: 1.) Do everything as the morning but I do not clean out their pens. Evening is just feeding and giving head rubs and scratches.

Today I discovered that one of the small piglets is sick and dieing. I do not have much experience working with animals so I am not used to this part of the job of being a domesticated animal farmer. I had to force back tears and focus on the job when I saw the other little piglets trampling over the sick piglet while rushing outside. My heart was breaking while I picked the little buddy up to set down on a new, warm bed of straw I made. The poor thing was squealing in fear and perhaps pain and I couldn't do anything about it. We called the vet, who came out to give the sick pig shots but there really isn't much hope. We'll see what happens during the night.
