Surprise!

We’ve been trying to get Sassy in the barn for some time now and as you know it hasn’t been just too successful! We’ve tried showing her the little calf, we’ve tried to trick her into putting hay and corn in the barn, we left the barn doors open for a couple of days, all just to try to coax her into the barn so Scarlet can nurse from her. Well, nothing worked… until today. Daryl only put corn in the barn for the cows again tonight thinking that eventually she’ll have to come in when he’s out there.  Like clock work of course Ed was the first one in. He sure has the male dominance thing going on! Then No Ears and Tango aren’t too far behind. When they were done, they all went outside. All of a sudden Daryl just couldn’t believe it. Here Sassy puts her front legs in. She kind of looks around and obviously doesn’t see Daryl,  and then she slowly puts her back legs into the barn. Well that was enough for Daryl to hurry and shut the door. Surprise! Poor Sassy didn’t know what happened to her! But now she was in and she was going to stay for awhile. Once Scarlet saw that Sassy was in the pen, she started to bawl like crazy. She knew what she wanted, but of course Sassy wasn’t ready to give it to her just yet. I checked on her later and when I came to the house I told Daryl that I had the worst time trying to get out of the barn. He looked a little confused on why I would say that and I told him that Scarlet just kept following me around and I couldn’t sneak out. She was just literally one step behind me the whole time. I found out that Scarlet wasn’t supposed to be out of Sassy’s pen and it didn’t take long and Daryl went back out and put her in the Milk House for the night. I guess we’ll try to see if Sassy is ready tomorrow.
