Help...does anyone have/know anyone with dairy cattle?

[Cocoa]

I am currently training to be a Veterinary Physiotherapist and I am seriously lacking experience with Dairy cattle and unfortunately for me I have a practical handling exam coming up!

I know it is a shot in the dark, but does anyone either own dairy cattle or know anyone who owns dairy cattle in the Surrey/ Berkshire/ Hampshire area who may be willing to let me spend a couple of hours with them handling the cattle (in exchange for some hard graft of course )?!?!

tbh I would think your best bet would be to ask your local vet if they could help put you in contact with one or two farmers. My vet did that for me when I needed work experience as part of my degree (agriculture). I ended up working for one guy for 10 weeks as I really enjoyed it, he ran an organic dairy farm and had moved away from the standard holstien/friesians to an old fashioned breed, was really interesting!
