To Be A Cow - Page 9

Research Log

Today was the first test of our new, breakthrough formula, and it was a resounding success. Very little of subject's former self remains after her transformation. She retains her mane of hair and her eyes betray her sustained intelligence. Though tests to determine how much of her intelligence she still has are difficult with how uncooperative she is, her mental capacity does not seem to have suffered much, if at all. Of course, she is panicked, confused, and upset - that is to be expected. I suspect in time, she will grow more docile as she comes to terms with her new life. For now, she lashes out at anyone who enters the room, so protective gear is necessary.

And now for the more important details of the process. Her udder is already producing, and is quite sizable. We expect this to increase dramatically when we attempt to breed her, and our machinery is equipped to compensate for this growth. Care must be taken in both breeding and in the gestation afterword, however, as her body is still quite small. Any bull we introduce to her is going to dwarf her, so we'll have to choose ones gentle enough not to do any serious harm. Even after a successful fertilization, we'll have to monitor her progress and ensure that she doesn't harm herself with her increasing weight, and help her move once her child and udder has grown too large to walk unassisted. We've ensured that her birthing canal was properly increased in size and elasticity to birth a full-sized calf, but we may need to assist there as well.

We'll allow her a few days to get settled in before attempting to breed her.

While I am, on the whole, happy with how it turned out, I see this as more of a stepping stone to future projects. Hopefully I can keep this momentum, because tf comics and the like are my favorite with these kinds of things, so I'd love to be able to truly to do it myself! I already know a lot of things to improve for next time, but let me know if you have any feedback, if any of you are paying attention to these anyway.
