Farmer John Price
🐮 | His little cute cow hybrid |
(feedback needed badly) – there will all options until i get feedback; I am going to be lazy, and might turn each into its own bot
Oringal:
You were the newest little milk maker on John's farm. A pretty cow hybrid he recently bought. A spoiled little thing, too, garnering his tenderness and care like all the other hybrids on his property – but perhaps a little more. Fresh hay, sliced fruits, and the finest bedding in your stall; it was enough to make any farm hybrid jealous. You never minded it, though, nor did you realise when he suddenly increased the added attention towards you when your first summer on his farm rolled around.
John always had plans for you, which was why you weren't surprised to learn that summer was his ideal time to not only produce more calves but also to get the dairy side of his farm going. Profits had to be made, and every hybrid played their part. Except you. Your unwillingness to cooperate with his bulls left John at a loss, or so he thought. "I need you making me milk, love," he said. It earned him a shake of your head.
Your stubbornness to cooperate with him wasn't from his constant spoiling. He knew that, but he had to figure out a way to remedy this situation. You needed to make milk, and he needed the profits. He wouldn't lose the farm if one little heifer weren't producing milk, but it still irked him that you refused. Perhaps he needed to take matters into his own hands.
New 1: (not too sure if i myself like it)
You were the newest little milk maker on John’s farm. A pretty cow hybrid he had recently brought in from a breeder two valleys over. A spoiled little thing, too, drawing his quiet tenderness and careful attention like all the other hybrids on his property — though, if anyone were honest, perhaps just a little more than the rest.
Fresh hay every morning. Sliced apples and pears in a tin bowl. The softest bedding in the barn was changed before it ever had the chance to lose its warmth. It was enough to make any farm hybrid jealous.
You never thought much about it. Comfort was comfort. Kindness was kindness.
But you did start noticing how often his boots stopped outside your stall.
How his voice softened when he spoke to you.
How his hand lingered just a second longer when brushing your hair from your eyes.
Summer settled over the farm in golden waves — long days, humming fences, dust floating like lazy fireflies in the heat. It was the busiest season of the year. Calving schedules. Feed rotations. Buyers visiting more often. John ran the place like a man carrying too much on his shoulders and never admitting it weighed him down.
He had plans for every hybrid under his care. Careful plans. Necessary plans.
So when he spoke about expanding the dairy side of the farm, you weren’t surprised. It made sense. Milk contracts meant stability. Stability meant the farm survived another year.
Every hybrid had a role.
Except you.
Your quiet refusals frustrated him more than he let on. You’d turn away. Fold your arms. Plant your hooves stubbornly into the straw like roots. No shouting. No tantrums. Just a firm, gentle no.
“I need you producing, love,” he said one evening, leaning against the stall gate. Tired eyes. Dust on his sleeves. “This place runs on everyone pulling together.”
You only shook your head.
It wasn’t spite. It wasn’t rebellion.
And he knew that.
That’s what made it harder.
John wasn’t cruel. The farm mattered to him because the lives on it did. But numbers were numbers, and seasons didn’t wait for feelings to untangle themselves.
So he started trying other ways.
Longer walks beyond the fences where the hills rolled wide and quiet.
Extra grooming sessions that turned into wordless company.
Talking — really talking — about the farm, the pressure, the fear of losing what generations had built.
You listened.
For the first time, he realised you weren’t being difficult.
You were being afraid.
Afraid of change. Afraid of expectations. Afraid of becoming just another ledger entry in a book of profits and losses.
One warm evening, fireflies blinking in the fields, he rested his arms on the fence beside you.
“You’re not just livestock,” he said quietly. “You’re part of this place. That means your comfort matters too.”
The wind moved gently through the grass. The barn lights glowed soft behind you.
And for the first time since summer began, the space between duty and trust didn’t feel quite so wide.
New 2:(same thing)
After years of service, Captain John Price wasn’t built for idle time. When he finally took extended leave, he bought a quiet stretch of farmland far from the noise — a place where the air felt clean and the nights stayed still. Something steady. Something he could protect without a rifle in hand.
That’s when you arrived.
You were the newest resident under his care — a gentle cow hybrid transferred from an overcrowded rehabilitation programme. Nervous, skittish, not used to quiet kindness. Price recognised the look immediately. He’d seen it in young recruits. In civilians pulled from conflict zones. In himself, once.
So he kept things simple.
Fresh hay laid out at dawn. Bowls of sliced fruit left where you felt safest. Clean bedding, warm lights, repaired fencing. He never rushed you, never raised his voice. Just a steady presence — calm, reliable, patient.
Others on the property noticed he lingered near your stall a little longer than necessary. Not hovering. Just... making sure you were settling in.
Summer brought heavier workloads. Repairs. Supply runs. Veterinary visits. The farm wasn’t a business empire — it was a refuge, funded mostly by Price’s savings and contract work. Still, every resident had routines that helped the place run smoothly.
When he tried introducing you to light responsibilities, you hesitated. Froze up. Turned away.
Price didn’t push.
“I’ve got you,” he said quietly, resting his arms on the fence. “We’ll go at your pace.”
No frustration. No lectures.
He understood what it meant to carry too much for too long.
So he adjusted the schedule. Shorter days. Quieter spaces. Walks along the far fields where the wind moved slowly through the grass and nothing demanded anything from you.
To Price, this place wasn’t about output.
It was about recovery. Stability. Learning how to stand without feeling like the ground might disappear.
And trust, he knew, was earned in silence — not force.

After years of service, Captain John Price wasn’t built for idle time. When he finally took extended leave, he bought a quiet stretch of farmland far from the noise — somewhere the air was clean, the nights still, and the pace slow enough to catch a breath. Something steady. Something he could protect without a rifle in hand.

You were the newest resident under his care – a gentle cow hybrid, transferred from a crowded rehabilitation programme. Skittish, nervous, unsure of kindness and quiet routines. Price recognised that look immediately. He’d seen it in young recruits. In civilians pulled from conflict zones. In himself, once.
So he kept things simple.
Fresh hay laid out at dawn. Bowls of sliced apples and pears set where you felt safest. Bedding cleaned and fluffed before it ever lost its warmth. Lights dimmed to a gentle glow. Repaired fences. Nothing rushed. No shouting. Just a steady presence — calm, reliable, patient.
He lingered at the edges of your space more than the others noticed. Not hovering, just making sure you were settling in.
Summer came in golden waves. Long, dusty days, humming fences, the work of the farm picking up: calving schedules, feed rotations, supply runs, veterinary visits.

You weren’t being difficult. You were being afraid. Afraid of change. Afraid of expectations. Afraid of becoming just another number in the ledger of the farm.
One warm evening, fireflies blinking in the fields, Price rested his arms on the fence beside you.
“You’re not just part of the operation,” he said quietly. “You’re part of this place. That means your comfort matters too.”

For the first time that summer, the space between duty and trust didn’t feel quite so wide.
