I have made some headway with Jerri this afternoon.
While I was filling various water barrels, I staged myself so that all three of the BBGs could see me. I was further away from Jerri though. I sat for awhile and went up to Nellie and Apple and talked to them all the while. I watched Jerri from the corner of my eye and she was taking everything in. I then went down to her stall and stood there, not moving and I stuck my hand out which had a hay cube in it. She gingerly nosed her way to my hand and ever so softly took it from my hand. She did not step back, but stood looking at me while she chewed the cube. Figuring this was a good start, I repeated it. She took it from this time with no hesitation. Oh these baby steps are wonderful, especially when they are so positive.
Nellie and Apple of course were given a couple of cubes as well, could not leave them out.
