Today we booked a date for our heifers. At long last! Carlos will arrive with his animal carrier and we will load them up this afternoon. They will go over to his farm where Sabbath awaits and board there for four weeks. We bought halters over the weekend and Johnny put them on. I was expecting a fight as they haven't even been in one before. It wasn't as hard as we expected and they placidly accepted the halters and allowed us to walk them by the lead. It was a great relief. There's a million questions going around in my head. How will they go into the truck? How will they handle transportation? Since they arrived on Pine Haven life has pretty much only been here. The last thing I want to do is stress them out. What about Crystal here at home? How will she take the separation? Will she bellow? So many questions waiting for answers. I’m hoping the expert hands of Carlos will help the transition but must be honest – I’m a bit nervous on how it will go. I plan to follow them over to his farm. Hopefully all will be good. Watch this space for an update......
