The water tower by moonlight
Cow #800, Milly, wouldn't come into the last stall. Some of the larger cows don't like the last stall because, even though it's the same size as the other 7 stalls, they can't encroach into the next cow's area. I patted her leg, coaxing her to come in, but no dice. Turns out her size wasn't the issue. Milly had an itchy head. As soon as I closed the end gate she began to rub her head vigorously against the bars of the gate. The gates give a little; snapping back from each head butt w/ a clang. You may not know it but cows rather enjoy making a racket. She was really getting into this new noisy game. I took a moment, reached over, and started rubbing her head. She stopped and lowered her head to give me better access. Having fun is one thing but a good head scratch is Divine.
