Well, I accidentally caught Bubbles close to the milk room last weekend, so I grabbed a horn and dragged her over. She was not happy, but I let her eat some sweet feed before dragging her through the soap room into the garage.
Once there, she and Antigone decided to fight it out.
Seriously, they are both five months pregnant.
I distracted them with some food, and that helped for a bit.
I still had four more girls to move, and they are not easy ones. And I was sick, but I had to move them as close as they are to kidding and as cold as we are. Besides, it’s easier for me to check them when they are all in one place.
I used a bit of sweet feet to tempt Hera, and then she just let me lead her to the milk room. Cupid was following along, so I let her in too. After they had snacks, I just took them through to the garage. Easy peasy.
I followed the same pattern for Athena. Easy peasy.
Then there was Hilda. She was on the far side of the barn, but she was pretty easy for me to catch. But then I had to drag her all the way to the milk room. She dug her feet in. She’s got the weight advantage with all the baby fat, and I was sick. Really. I was not sure who was going to win for a while, but I finally got her into the milk room where she happily snacked while I gasped and panted and tried to catch my breath. Brat.
But we’re ready for kids!
