Ever-Evolving Herd Dynamics

[Nanno]

Yes, it's all very entertaining. Coral has officially knocked Skeeter off her pedestal, and we no longer have a tyrannical little bully in our herd. It's so funny because Skeeter was absolutely merciless to Coral before Penny and Blackbird left--biting her ears, smacking her so hard I know she saw stars. Coral would do her best to stay out of Skeeter's way and run off if Skeeter came toward her, but Skeeter would seek Coral out just to give her a beating. Now Skeeter is afraid of Coral! Coral occasionally pays Skeeter back for her earlier meanness, but not much. Coral is a sweetie-pie at heart and isn't one to turn bully even if she can. Coral is bossing Rita around now too, but Rita is still very attached to Coral and cries when I take Coral to the house to get milked. No more bites on Corals teats though! It looks like she put a stop to that nonsense right away.
