Moody

We went out to work the heifers this morning and boy were they moody. Sami, who normally leads well enough to let Thomas handle her, had major attitude issues, even with me on the lead rope. Penny, the heifer who went to solitary confinement after her leading issues with hubby, had been much improved. So much so, that Suzanna had been leading her for the past week. Not today!! She is in the midst of her cycle and there was no telling her what to do! She got tied up in one place and left to think about her problems.

Then there was Bella. She has been pretty awful ever since she got dehorned a couple weeks ago. Can't say I blame her for being a bit suspicious of us humans, but dragging her from one end of the driveway to the other was getting a bit old. Well today, she led like a dream. Even Kathryn was leading her and setting her up.

The only dependable one in the lot was Fancy. And she had better behave, she has been doing this for a while now.

So next time up, who knows what we will get. Hopefully all four leading easy, making their way toward Dairy Days.
