I don't get the respect I deserve!

From my cattle that is. I was doing my chores this evening and I wanted to put some fresh straw down in the loose housing.

Well, boss cow had decided to make an early evening of it and she was laying down chewing her cud.

I opened a bale and started spreading straw around. As I got closer I told her it was time to move.

"Ok Bossy time to move"

She looks at me barely twitching an ear and keeps chewing.

I kick some straw over her back. Nothing!

So I kick some over her head. Nothing!

Fine I said lay there and ignore me.

Don't they know I am the all powerfull postroad who decides their fate and feeds them and waters them and cleans up after them and scratches them behind the ears and ..... oh. Never mind.

Yah afraid so.

I had told myself I was not going to pamper the bull. His photo is in the avitar.

But after a few months of watching the girls come to get their backs scratched he now thinks he also deserves a back scratch.

All us cow slaves never thought the day would come that we were owned. All the cows due is worry about eating making milk and making a mess for us to clean up. Look what all we do to keep them happy.
We all are slave to the MOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
