Aretha

By Ellie Laks, Founder of The Gentle Barn

Aretha has been doing very well and even lets her docent hug and pet her on Sundays. Last Sunday Aretha allowed her first visitor to hug her! When we brought her home she was so scared and wanted to stay away from people, but I think over the last few months she has understood what goes on here at The Gentle Barn and she is ready to allow visitors to love her and learn how wonderful cows are. Aretha has taken her rightful place as a Gentle ambassador and we are so pleased and proud of her! Come see Aretha on a Sunday from 10:00am-2:00pm, and maybe she will let you give her a hug as well?
