Today was supposed to be the day for C**n. 🥺🐮
I have loved this girl from the moment she hit the ground. That beautiful salt-and-pepper hide had me wrapped around her little hoof from day one, and she’s always been one of those cows you just can’t help but admire. They literally dont come more beautiful then her.
Unfortunately… C**n did not grow up to appreciate my love or want anything to do with my nonsense in general.
RUDE 🤣🙄
Over the years she’s gotten meaner and meaner, and this spring while trying to take care of her calf, I finally hit my limit. There comes a point where you have to put the sentimental stuff aside and make the responsible decision before somebody gets seriously hurt—and unfortunately, C**n had reached that point.
So today was the day. She was headed off the farm and on to greener… heavenly… pastures. 🥺❤️
And BOY OH BOY, I swear she knew exactly what was happening. 😳🤣 She put up one HELL of a battle in the chute getting loaded and made sure her final morning here was VERY on-brand for C**n. Feet planted and no matter how much we wanted her to move she was just not having it! She wasn't leaving without reminding us one last time exactly why this decision had been made. 🤦♀️🤣
But we got her loaded. Everyone survived. And off I went.
All the way to the butcher plant.
(Now keep in mind I had 2 in the trailer. A steer in the back part then the divider through the middle and C**n in the front part...)
Fast forward an hour later and wouldn't you freaking know it, they turned her down because of what I wanted. Even though I SPECIFICALLY stated what I wanted when he called me yesterday with saying "ok, no problem we can do that - done it before" 🤦♀️🙄🤣
So I pull into the butcher plant and, thankfully, before I back up to unload I decide I better go inside and make sure we’re all on the same page about what I want done with C**n. I explain my wishes to the lady and she looks at me like a deer in headlights. 😳 I’m thinking, uhhh… I specifically explained this over the phone and was told it was fine. 🤦♀️ She disappears into the back to talk to a few people, comes back and explains how they normally do things and says she isn’t sure they can make what I want work. Unfortunately, the way they wanted to do it wasn’t going to work for me, so back into the back she goes. Eventually a guy comes out and basically tells me they can’t take her because they can’t do it the way I need. 🙄
Sooooo… back out to the trailer I go, where C**n is conveniently loaded FIRST, meaning I now have to somehow switch two very large, very unimpressed animals around in the trailer BY MYSELF so I can at least unload the steer. 🤣🤦♀️
That was an adventure all its own, but I got it accomplished, unloaded the steer, shut the trailer back up with Miss C**n still inside and drove my irritated butt right back home. 😂
The most frustrating part? This entire circus could’ve been avoided had the guy I spoke to on the phone actually listened when I explained exactly what I wanted done in the first place. 🙄
SO GUESS WHO IS CURRENTLY COMING RIGHT BACK HOME?!
C**N.
THE ORNERY GOAT HERSELF.
Even more ornery now that she got a tour of the countryside 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently when I said I wasn't quite done admiring that pretty face yet, C**n took that a little more literally than I intended. 👀🤦♀️🤣
So her trip to greener heavenly pastures has officially been postponed while I figure out Plan B.
And after the absolute FIT she threw getting into that trailer this morning, I can only imagine the smug look on her face when we pull back into the farm and get her unloaded.
Like - “Miss me, if you would've listened this morning I told you I wasn't going anywhere?” 🐮💅🤣
So for today….
Welcome BACK home, C**n. 🙄🤣
You win this round.
