The actual artificial insemination took place today. There's not much hope of conception, though. Yesterday Buttercup screamed like an elephant the whole day long. "Hormone shots," we thought. "That was her in heat," Emily told us. Damn.
The good thing is, there's absolutely no mistaking it now that we know what we're looking for. I have never heard a cow sound like that. Constant... screaming... all day long. Not that she's a quiet cow by any means. Normally, if her precious Craig goes out of her sight but she can still hear him, she bellows. She bellows when she wants fed. She bellows if a leaf is in her water trough. This, however, was another thing entirely. Fence pacing, screaming, the whole nine yards.
So while we probably missed it this time, we now know what we're looking for.
Always learning. Love the books, but sometimes you just have to see for yourself.
