Gypsey

Gypsey is sleeping in front of her best friend Ruby. Gypsey lost her kid, it had some birth defects and didn't make it, she cried all day and went back and forth to the place she gave birth, she was a first time kidder and doesn't understand. I kept her in the barn with Ruby and the other mama does for a few weeks and decided it was time to turn her out to pasture with another herd. Every now I then I catch her looking into the barn, so I let her in to see that her baby is not there. She stays for awhile to visit  Ruby, then she's ready to go back out to graze the sweet grass. She can try again next year.
