She may be completely blind, but Lena knows there's hay on the utility vehicle — and when I drive up into her paddock, she comes slowly trotting after it.
No, she's not going to run into it — she can tell exactly where she is, relative to the vehicle, by the sound. And Lena's a smart girl, so she slows down when she realizes she's close, then walks gingerly up to it.
Her moment of opportunity comes when I've stopped to fill up Cash's water tank in the adjacent paddock. Unlike Cash, she's not interested in exploring the manufacturing quality or engineering skills behind the Kubota RTV. Lena wants a head-start on the hay, and she knows it's waiting in the cargo box. So while I'm dispensing water to Cash, she's self-dispensing hay to herself. I said she's a smart girl, eh?
