Yes, every year something might go terribly wrong with their ovaries because they are girls and Yes, their hi is still orange!
Meanwhile their bretherin give me solace. Their shiro may be a hard white, but what fiery red. And they race around like stallions. Feed em well enough and they are not exactly skinny either.
Why the discrimination and disappointment in males? Let us appreciate males as males. We don't look at our show bulls and say Oh MY God! He has a hump and horns!... or... if only he didn't have those distracting parts! We don't look at our stallions and say if only he didn't have that big muscly jaw and that cresty neck. If only he didn't prance around snorting like that. Vive la differance!
