The bulls were out in the field when the livestock truck pulled into the unloading section of the farm. They went to the fence to see what was being brought into the environment. Mena's handler, Brad, went to the end of the truck as it came to a stop.
Brad greeted the driver as the ramp to the livestock was lowered. Looking at the invoice Brad nodded and signed a paper, shaking hands with the delivery man.
The male handler led four females off the truck, with a prod in her hand. He gave direction and snapped the prod close to their rumps when they didn't respond quick enough. The bulls cried out to the females as they approached. not only in greeting but in challenge.
All the new stock were in the modified hooves, but no collars except the temporary ones they had all come to the farm in. None of the new additions walked well in their modified shoes that kept them on all fours. The females protested in their line but the handler paid them no heed.
"Bulls! Get back here!" Mika's handler Elise shouted to the males in the field. Reluctantly the bulls complied and moved toward their barn. "Don't worry, bulls. Before too long you will be fucking them too. All of our females are either pregnant or just gave birth and cannot be bred at the moment. We need more fodder."
Elise guided the males near their stalls, her hand coming down to stroke Mika's head. "Any challengers for Alpha this week?" Mika could see that Tomo wanted to challenge, having been on the bottom for the last month, but had lost his nerve. "All right, you males can duke it out to see who won't breed this week. Come Mika."
Comfortable that he maintained his Alpha position for the week Mika happily followed his handler down a unfamiliar hallway. Ending the hallway was a large room that Elise lead him into.
Sitting in a chair was a woman with long red hair and a man standing off to the side. Mika looked up at Elise. It had been some time since he had seen humans other than the handlers and Mika started to panic, his hooves tapping the concrete floor.
"This is your best bull?" the female asked as she stood up.
