My heart is bursting! So grateful these two girls have the opportunity to live. I can't wait to see how they start to bond and form their own little herd πππ©·
Ruth, our baby whisperer intermittently yawns and licks the baby. It's wonderful to know that that is a sign that he is feeling content.
Cows may yawn when around baby cows as a sign of relaxation and contentment, potentially indicating a positive social interaction and bonding behavior, similar to how humans might yawn when feeling comfortable around loved ones; this could also be a way to synchronize their mood and behavior with the calf, fostering a sense of calm within the herd.
Champion and Layla are turning in for the night. Champ has given up his will to eat hay, he is very tired. Not so much Layla.
This was what natural calf behavior looks like. Imagine this spirited curious animal imprisoned in a small calf hut. They can't run, they can't jump. It is absolutely inhumane. Celebrate this girl as she begins to live her best life in sanctuary.
Frankie would like you to enjoy watching him eat his hay snack while breathing deeply β¨
The new little meets the former littles from afar πππβ€οΈ
Baby girl would like to say good morning and I would like another bottle please!
The first time being able to run around, she is celebrating her life!
These littles are now 3-months-old. Champion has shown us that he was certainly named appropriately. So proud of these babies for getting through those tough first few weeks.
Happy rescueversary to our sweet girl Peggy π©·π½π
Please enjoy watching Ruth walk nicely now that his hoof is all healed! ππππππβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
On Friday morning Ruth was limping as he came out of the barn. It was the first time I had seen him favor his left rear foot. I texted our large animal vet with the video and he said he would come over later in the morning to inspect ruth. I'm very glad I did as I will share more in the next post.
