After blogging, yesterday, we headed out to a bar/club in Esteli. Francisco´s father walks in, nobody says anything to him. Me? I have to pay the cover. They are after the gringos I tell you!
Today we were headed back to Managua and my plan was to head out soon after returning to Grenada, see the town a bit today and tomorrow. On the way back we decided to stop and spend some time on the dairy farms owned by this same business man mentioned above. Did you know that they can sex semen so that the cows are only inseminated to make female calves? Pretty amazing. I was able to meet the inseminator today, he road in (with the sperm frozen with Nitrogen) on a mule to find the four or so cows who were ready for action. A very high tech sex specific semen rides in on a sterile mule. How ironic.
The saddest news I heard today was about some bulls. They are excited, and excitable. When the inseminator can´t find all the cows in heat, they call upon these 'marker bulls' who sniff out and find the females and try to mount them. Sadly, for whatever reason instead of going straight, they seem to bear to the left or right, leaving the cow unfertilized and themself fairly frustrated. I guess they need to be careful as these bulls tend to become aggressive. Hmmm. I wonder why.
