From the faithful hound to the capricious feline, nearly every domesticated animal is accounted for amidst the family of demihumans known as "beastkin." Possessing mostly human features, the prominence of a beastkin's "beastly" side depends more often than not on the animal to which they hold an affinity. Doglike beastkin have the heightened senses of a hound, feline beastkin are known for their flexibility and balance, and porcine beastkin are famed for their ability — and willingness — to eat just about anything.
However, there are two types of beastkin that exhibit traits that border on supernatural: sheep and cow. To split one's attentions by attempting to examine both at once would do the pair a disservice, and it is for this reason that the following entry is focused more squarely on the bovine.
To begin, it becomes necessary to study the domesticated cow in which the cowlike beastkin finds her apparent origin. A cornerstone of ranches and farms alike, the cow provides one of mankind's most versatile foodstuffs: milk. Whether churned, curdled, or simply drank unaltered, milk is by far the most valuable product a cow can provide its owner, and this is mirrored in the cow beastkin's propensity for lactation.
There is, however, a key difference in when the two begin producing milk. Whereas a dairy cow can only begin lactation once she becomes pregnant — though she can certainly produce milk far after her first pregnancy, assuming her farmer keeps milking her — a "cowgirl" can begin producing milk without being bred even once. Indeed, a cowgirl is capable of lactation with her virginity intact, so long as she's undergone puberty.
That being said, this difference in the start of lactation comes with a difference in the end. As previously mentioned, a dairy cow will continually lactate following its first calf as long as she is regularly milked. This is not the case for a cowgirl. Though lactation will occur rather often, there is an inevitable "drought" where the cowgirl stops lactating if she is not with child or has not recently given birth.
This is where the emphatically atypical elements of the cowgirl's physiology become apparent, especially in relation to her dealings with the opposite sex. The cowgirl is, as previously mentioned, capable of lactation independent of impregnation or sexual relations. However, this "dry" lactation occurs during a very specific physical state for the cowgirl: estrus.
The dairy cow and her kindred spirit the cowgirl regularly undergo a period of increased fertility known as estrus. Moreover, there is a period of the cycle referred to as "standing" estrus where they specifically seek out mates. In the case of a common dairy cow, "standing" estrus can last anywhere from eight to thirty hours.
In the case of a cowgirl, it typically lasts one full lunar month.
During this time, the cowgirl's body enters a very specific physiological and chemical state wherein she is flooded with sex hormones and almost constant sexual desire. It is not uncommon for a cowgirl to be aroused to the point where it interferes with her daily life. How is she to focus on her day-to-day chores when her body aches for a man to plunge his penis into her sex and flood her womb with his seed?
Regardless of the individual's ability to focus in the face of sexual distraction, the cowgirl will eventually be powerless to resist her sexual urges. At the very most, one can expect a cowgirl to last around one or two days before she succumbs to the maddening desire to be bred. In many cases, however, she'll only last a few hours.
While the cowgirl is in this state, it is advised for sexually mature males to avoid contact with her at all costs, as it is not simply her inhibitions that are affected by her hormonal state. The cowgirl, as previously mentioned, begins lactating during estrus. However, during "dry" lactation, the cowgirl's milk has a high concentration of her own special hormones. Note that ingestion of these special beastkin hormones is not physically dangerous nor does it result in any permanent changes. Given that this special milk will most likely be ingested directly from the cowgirl's nipples, however, the temporary effects they have on males are enough to put them at risk of potentially unwanted children.
During the first few weeks of estrus, the cowgirl's milk will be heavily dosed with hormones affecting virility and sex drive. In other words, when a sexually compatible male drinks it, he quickly becomes so aroused as to throw caution to the wind and rut the cowgirl until both of them are satisfied.
In most cases, the cowgirl will not be satisfied until she's with child, which could take hours, if not days. Given that he'll be able to rely on the cowgirl for both hydration and nutrition during this time, the male need not worry about sustenance, but he's liable to end up with bruised hips at least. Cowgirls tend to be aroused enough to top their partners during estrus, and their considerable height and musculature affords them terrific stamina in bed.
The cowgirl's milk has a markedly different effect the longer her estrus continues however. If she isn't impregnated within a few weeks, the hormones in her milk develop a secondary use as a soporific. A male who drinks it will still experience the sexual arousal, but he will also likely end up lethargic if not completely asleep after a few minutes of drinking the cowgirl's milk. If this happens, the cowgirl is all but guaranteed to forcibly assault the sleeping male and breed herself on his manhood.
There are a few small mercies to be found in this otherwise tumultuous period of fertility and sexual desires. For one, the cowgirl's estrus will end almost immediately following the conception of a child. She will return to her normal hormonal state and will not undergo estrus during her pregnancy. Moreover, while she will continue to lactate during her pregnancy — and for a few months past that — her milk will no longer contain the libido-enhancing hormones that it did during estrus. In fact, the milk of a pregnant or recently pregnant cowgirl has been shown to be extremely nutritious, both for her infant and, should he deign to drink it, the father of her child.
In most cases of marriage to a cowgirl, this is less a boon and more a necessity. One time spent with a cowgirl in estrus is difficult to endure. Twice or more is all but impossible. Despite this, nearly all men married to cowgirls report enthusiastic appreciation of their wives' physiology, during estrus or not. Given that cowgirl-led families often include five or more children, it seems as if the brave men willing to marry cowgirls are more than happy to take the good with the bad...though where the former ends and the latter begins is up for debate.
