The muckin' 'o the byre

One of the worst jobs on a farm is cleaning out the animals pens.  On Scottish farms, the byre is the cow barn, and muckin' is the term for cleaning it out.  There is a great old Scottish song about this very subject - it's a jam and I found a video of it, too.  I was muckin' the chicken coop today, which reminded me of this song.
