Gladys has become very tame because she gets personal feedings of grain every morning:
Loretta is more standoffish, but her mom is tame and friendly, so I'm sure she will be also:
I moved the cattle into the north field for a few days after it had been hayed. Gracie thought that was wonderful, because the hay balers had left plenty for her to eat:
