When we got Jasper, his mother had been sick and so he had to be bottle fed. He was kept by himself since he didn’t get any of his mother’s milk and so his immune system was low. He has grown and he won’t be a year old for another couple of months. When he came here, he was alone except for the donkeys coming to visit and the horse, Jeb. He chicken did live in there with him but were usually only there at night. We brought another cow here for him. Alex was not as friendly as Jasper but he was tame enough to be a companion. As I saw last weekend, when they are not together, they have some separation anxiety. They moo to find each other and sounds desperate. I knew Jasper needed a friend and I’m so glad Alex is here with him. Now, even when they break out of their pen, they go together. When Jeb chases one of them, they run together. When they are hot, they stand in front of the fan together. It’s so sweet.
