"Lord Krsna, the Supreme personality of Godhead, is the prime protector of brahminical culture and the cow. Without knowing and respecting these, one cannot realize the science of God, and without this knowledge, any welfare activities or humanitarian propaganda cannot be successful"

Hare Krishna!

Due to the severe draught in Sweden this year there has been a drastic shortage of both hay and straw. We fortunately have quite enough of our own hay but our straw yield wasn't much so we are in acute need of buying more straw for our cows in Almvik goshalla. What we have may only last about a week and a half.
We've been searching for a while and the options aren't many, so it seems we'll need to buy straw from quite far away.

We need to buy around 50 large bales of straw. Each bale costs 1500:- now. So we need 50.000 - 75.000 SEK altogether. Hopefully we'll find something cheaper but that's what the prices for imported straw has been since the autumn.

That's an astronomical sum, but whatever little or large contribution you could imagine to give would be greatly appreciated. After all, Krishna is the source of all our riches so somehow or another we're hopeful that we'll be able to buy them or we might also buy part wood chip and dry hay of lower quality that can be used for the deep straw beddings and as fodder for the cows.

As mentioned, it has become urgent now as what we have won't last more than about a week and a half, so we're grateful for quick help too, though we can buy gradually too hopefully when we can afford to.

If you happen to know someone who can sell to a lower price, that would also be a huge help. This is from Poland, so transport makes it much more expensive. If we could find cheaper straw, that would be preferable of course.

Kindly share this with friends too and/or Facebook-groups where it may be acceptable.

Thank you so much on behalf of the cows!

General information:

Almviks gård goshalla cares for cows and oxen since 40 years according to the Vedic principles of goraksya - cow protection, which means that we never sell or eat our cows. All cows and oxen live here their lives through and are taken care of with love and compassion. We also have indigenous cow breeds threatened by extinction such as fjällnära, väneko and gudbrandalsoxe.
