The fair at Stone's farm was a great success. Vicki was not entered into this fair as her production was still not in the competitive range. But she was allowed to observe the proceedings. She was somewhat dismayed to watch her sister being led around by her nose ring behind Stone's cart. But she quickly over came that feeling as she observed the envy and lust in the faces of the other owners as they watched Sarah walking so proudly behind her owner. Her heart swelled when she watched her sister once again win the beauty contest.
Stone was sitting on a fence out by the barn watching Joe, one of his stable hands, washing down the ponies after the last of the contestants had packed and left just enjoying the sight. "Joe, you guys did a good job. Everything went off without a hitch."
"Yeah. It did go off pretty good. Only thing that was an issue was I caught one of Sylvia's stable hands snooping around the barn."
"You didn't mention that to me."
"Sorry boss. We was just so busy all the time, I just plumb forgot till now."
"That's ok. What do you think he was looking for?"
"Good question. At first I thought he was looking for whatever we do to make Sarah produce so much. But the more I thought about it, the less likely that seemed. It looked almost like he was casing the place."
"I can't imagine even Sylvia would stoop to stealing my livestock. They are all branded and registered. She couldn't show or sell them. So he must have been looking for our secret to more milk production."
"Probably right."
Neither of them thought any more about it and they almost completely forgot about it.
A couple of weeks later, Vicki approached Stone when he came to check her milk production.
"Sir, I'd like to be permanently marked like my sister. I want to be sure you always place first and second in the cow beauty contest and Sarah's permanent markings always impress the judges."
Stone stopped what he was he was doing and just looked at her. "You do understand that the process takes quite a few long sessions and can be a little painful?"
"Yes sir. I've discussed it with Sarah and she told me all about it. I also know it will affect my milk production but you said you weren't planning on showing me in the fair six weeks from now. So now seemed the best time to start."
"You and your sister have turned into such fine cows. I am so proud to own you."
Vicki preened at his words of praise. She didn't realize that it was a mark of how far she had changed from the proud young woman she'd been a little over a year ago.
"I want to get your milk production up a little first. We'll start in a month. The fair after this next one won't be held for three months after this one ends. That should be plenty of time to get you marked and increase your milk production to competitive levels."
"Oh, thank you sir. I want to be your best cow."
"A little competitive with your sister. Huh? Guess that makes sense. You both have good business minds and you need to be competitive to be successful."
Vicki smiled and looked down.
"Don't be bashful. I selected you two for more than your milk producing abilities. It would have given me no pleasure domesticating submissive women. I wanted women who were strong and competitive. I take your continued competitiveness as a compliment to my domestication techniques."
Vicki wasn't quite sure how to take what he'd just said. But decided in the end to accept it as a compliment. No matter that she'd been a strong independent woman when Stone had started domesticating her. She was now his cow and she was proud of it.
Vicki's production kept increasing over the next month and had reached three quarts a day before Stone decided to start her marking. He decided to start on her torso first so she could continue to help in the office as long as possible. With that in mind, he told Joe to set it up and have her marked over the next two weeks. That way she would have time for her production to recover before the next fair. He so looked forward to having two cows in the next fair. Granted Vicki's udders were not as well developed as Sarah's. Her nipples were almost as big around as Sarah's, just not as long yet. Still, she was more fully converted than all the competition.
Vicki's tattooing sessions went well and today was to be her final session. Joe collected her after her morning milking and loaded her into a small livestock trailer. The other stable hand left about the same time to mend a fence that had mysteriously fallen down. It was out on the other side of the farm, so he'd be gone for a few hours.
Before Joe left, he checked to be sure that Sarah had peed since no one would be around for a few hours to unlock her.
"Sir, could you leave it unlocked and give me permission to cum? Ellen promised me a good licking and I really could use a good cum."
"No, you can wait till I git back. I'm horny too and love fucking her ass while she licks one of you out."
"Oh."
With that, he jumped into the truck and drove off. The livestock wandered out into the field where the ponies started a complex game of tag that involved some of the special steps they used in competition. That lasted about 30 minutes before both of them threw themselves to the ground to rest.
Sarah wandered off to stand under a tree with her laptop so she could work on a proposal for Stone. There was a standing desk under the tree as she liked to be outside when she could. It just seemed right for her as a cow to be out in a field as much as possible.
The ponies napped for a short while before rising, each spreading their legs to let a long stream of urine out into the grass. That done, they started to walk toward the barn but stopped when they heard the sound of a truck driving toward the field.
Thinking it was one of the hands returning, they turned toward the truck. It wasn't one they were familiar with so they just stood there. They heard the driver's side door open but didn't see anyone until they noticed the top of a man's head as he leaned over the pickup truck bed. He was holding something long but its shape didn't register in Ellen's mind until she felt the sting of needle in her left leg. Then she fell to the ground unconscious.
Wanda screamed when Ellen fell and turned to run. But she too felt the sting of a needle and fell to the ground. Sarah was focused on her proposal writing and hadn't really registered what was happening until she saw Wanda fall. By then it was too late as she too was shot and knocked unconscious.
As soon as they were down, another man jumped out of the truck and raced over to open a gate so the other man could drive the pickup close to the sleeping livestock. The two men quickly loaded the livestock into the back of the pickup and covered them with a tarp. Then they drove off.
When Joe returned he let Vicki out of the truck and quickly got her settled into her milking station. Then he went to round up Sarah, sure that she'd be anxious to be milked. But she was nowhere to be found. Then he noticed the ponies were gone too.
Thinking that the other hand had returned and decided to exercise the ponies and Sarah. He looked into the tack room and the ponies' tack was still hanging up. It was as he was coming out of the tack room that he noticed the other pickup truck was gone.
He grabbed his cell phone and called the other hand. "Gary, where you at? You got the livestock with you?"
"What? I don't have them. Shit, I'm still messing with this fence. Looks like someone wrecked it on purpose. Damn fence post is broken off at the base."
Joe quickly hung up and called Stone. "Mr. Stone. We might have a problem. Do you have the livestock?"
