Ok, I'm just a city girl, an English city girl and the wonders of artificial insemination are sort of lost on me except that the end result is a really cute little bundle of calf like Daisy Mae. It's how we get there that is my biggest concern right now..(.apart from the weather forcasts that is, smile ) Dolly didn't take too kindly to being manhandled and even less kindly to a foreign object being pushed up her "bits", she has forgiven us for our previous affront to her dignity (if cows have any dignity) but I'm pretty sure that she is going to be wise to any new attempts to pin her down. Currently both she and Molly Moo are wandering around blissfully unaware of a blue plastic straw hanging out under their tails....Macho the buck goat isn't and it has turned into a challenge, how can he get that little bit of blue plastic,... it's got to taste good ? I have turned into some kind of bovine pervert and spend 99% of my time checking out a blue straw sticking out of a cows butt !!! On Monday, Greg and I have to give both girls a hormone shot and Thursday Wayne will return (he's clearly a glutton for punishment !!!) to do the "business" ( I guess I had better set the record straight......in a technical sort of way, ..phew, could have been some explosive gossip ha ha ) Today Greg and I have been busy making some sort of chute system, I am getting more and more adverse to suicidal procedures and trying to give Dolly a shot and then impregnate her within a week sounds pretty suicidal to me. The chute is looking good, both Dolly and Molly have spent a good part of the day watching the progress... Monday evening and a hormone syringe will tell, till then I will continue to watch blue plastic straws and bovine butts,...most unsavoury. Its bedtime, tomorrow morning we have an early start, take care. M
