Konaar, to help me with the situation, and he came immediately. We couldn’t manage to catch him both times – he was just too fast. This only made Karuppi more frantic and Noushy sad. Kutti, after drinking milk, decided to take a couple of runs around the farm. We tried to pacify Karuppi but she wouldn’t back down. Whenever Noushy and I would try to catch kutti, Karuppi would charge towards both of us. Karuppi was probably angry and therefore ramming her horns on the haystack. When Noushy went back to the cow shed after half an hour to check on the two of them, she saw Kutti jumping around wildly from one end to the other. We tied him again and got down again to weeding and mulching tomato and brinjal beds. We pulled & pushed, we tried hard to walk him to the tree, but to no avail. We started walking towards the tree with it, but he wouldn’t budge. Prior to lunch, Noushy and I decided on tying kutti under a Neem tree’s shade. So we fed Karuppi it’s breakfast and the kutti, too. At this point, we would like you to keep this in mind, that we absolutely have no prior experience with bovines. And we were alone in the farm with Karuppi, our first cow, and her baby boy. Sesaiyya, the only employee we have, was on leave. Just today morning, we had one of the events which Noushy and I would remember for a long time. I, for a change, would like to share parts of my journey which have been tough (and sometimes, funny). I think people share a lot of positive and success stories of themselves and loved ones who have ventured into farming.
