Yes, they are! Often given a bad rap as "stubborn" but, in reality, they are just extremely cautious. So patience in training gets the job done. Once they accept the experience, you will not need a lot of effort on the job at hand. Memory of an elephant! Plus, when they accept you, you will have a BFF. They can become quite attached.
An uncut jack can be ornery -- just plain mean sometimes. They are way stronger than they look. If a donkey kicks and misses, it's because they didn't WANT to hit you. Handle those legs from day one and get then to accept all over touching from day one. Trust comes when you do.
Yes, SHE is beautiful! DH got a good touchy feely session with her, while I fed Mom hay and some grain. It didn't last too long, as Mom went to drive him away from the baby but he loved on her and determined the sex for sure. Her ears are so precious!
Been thinking about you. Please check in with us and let us know what’s going on. Laura is going to be a direct hit. Are you able to load up your animals and run for it, or you riding it out? I pray for your family and farm, that y’all come through this safely.
We are going to ride it out. We shored up pretty well so we will just have to see what she brings. This will be our 6th Hurricane so DH is pretty good at reading them. Thing is, they are unpredictable, at best so just pray for us.
Hope ya'll do well w/this storm. I'm west of you a bit...south of Alvin, TX. We've been worried, but looks like we're going to be spared. Praying that you and all your critters will be safe!
