Our latest addition to the menagerie came last week in the form of a 4 yr old doe-eyed dairy bovine with fawn colored skin and a silky brown tail. Ponderous belly swollen with her impending calf, she descended from the trailer and surveyed her domain.
Our ten grassy acres with tall shade trees and a cool clean barn was a far cry from her former living quarters. Up to her knees in muck with no dry place to lay down and no shelter, her old home was not worthy of her highness. This new place was much more to her liking and she showed her approval by promptly diving into the fresh spring grass and shoving the Holstein bottle calves out of her way.
Her highness becomes a bit undignified though when the whistle is sounded and the grain bucket rattled. Her addiction to this cracked grain ambrosia causes her to throw haughtiness to the wind and come a-running, belly swinging, udder flopping, tail flying in the wind.
Watching her coming, I had flashbacks of my third pregnancy and the sounds of the Dreyer’s coffee ice cream container opening… Let’s just say the scene was somewhat similar…
How funny, she is beautiful.
I know I was the same way at Taco bell, don’t ask me, lol!
Bonnie and I were introduced by Taylor and Kathy when I
visited back in February. Sleep is sweeter now thinking about Bonnie´s escape from her past living quarters and her joy at her new home! YEA!
She looks slightly emaciated and that’s again a sign of good milking potential. She is really bonny
Man, what a narrative! You are such a funny writer.
I enjoyed meeting your newest bovine.
