2 years with our sweet Clementine. What a difference a couple of years makes in the process of healing from trauma. When we rescued her compared to who she is today is like daylight and dark. Happy rescue anniversary to our big special girl.

Happy 3rd birthday to our youngest, but by no means smallest, steer. The wild man himself, Mr Lloyd boy. He came to us a scrawny little guy but has grown into our third largest kid, closing in on our big brut’s, Hank and Linus. He’s the friendliest, most affectionate, playful, never met a stranger kind of guy and I couldn’t love him more if I tried. So help me out in wishing Lloyd the happiest of birthdays!! #lloydforever #veganforhim
We have a big storm rolling in today so first thing this morning I made sure the cows and barn were secure. Hank decided he was gonna hold me hostage and was quite alright with it. 🧡🤍🧡#hankforever #veganforhim
Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet Murph and his magical lower lip freckles!! With each passing day this sweet guy is becoming more and more like his mama Lorene. Their personalities are so similar. Laid back and easy going; they both just go with the flow. Except when it comes to fly spray then all bets are off 😂. He is definitely his mama’s son and I’m so thankful that I’ve had the privilege of co-parenting this special boy for the last 3 years. Happy 3rd to you, Murph!!! Here’s to many more birthdays together.
🖤🤍🖤

Someone wasn’t impressed with me waking him up at 5:30. Especially on a Saturday morning. Linus is definitely not a morning person but some of us have to go to work to support his extravagant lifestyle 🤍. #linusforever #veganforhim
Sometimes even the biggest of boys needs a little help getting to the good stuff. Thankfully his ma’s got the reach to make his dreams come true. 🤍. #linusforever #veganforhim
Happy 1st birthday to our special little Junie surprise!! How has it been a year already?! I’m not exactly sure how she came to be with us , but I am so beyond thankful that she did. She is the sweetest, silliest, most aggressively affectionate, fearless girl I’ve ever known. I simply cannot imagine my life without her. Happiest Birthday to you, my baby girl! #junieforever #veganforher
The NEEDIEST of boys. 🖤🤍🖤#aceforever #veganforhim
It took me a while to figure out what they were doing but this has become a weekly occurrence. The aftermath of chasing the UPS truck. One day I’ll catch them on camera in the actual act. But I can tell you, both our UPS man and Sanitation crew get quite a show from the steers when they come to our house. In a very non-vegan community, maybe my boys will open some hearts and show people that when allowed to live in peace without fear, cows are no different than the pets they love so much. In all the ways that matter, they are the same. #cowsforever #veganforthem
Happy 3rd Birthday to this freaking Icon. I can’t believe Ace is 3 years old. Where has the time gone?! Born a tiny little preemie, now the magnificent beast you see before you 🤩. Ace shares a birthday with a very special human who has been a huge supporter. We met back in my days as a Caregiver at another sanctuary before LBF was even a thing. She has been a part of our mission from the very beginning. Happy Birthday Ace! And Happy Birthday Betty Burns!! It’s fitting you two share a birthday. (You know why. 😂) #aceforever #veganforhim
You should probably have the sound on for this one to see Clem clap back at my question 👏👏👏. The last month or so, something has really clicked with Clementine. She has become super calm and affectionate, constantly seeking me out for scratches and even a head hug or two. This is a sure sign to me that she finally feels safe. A HUGE deal given where she came from. I’m honored to have her trust and will continue working every day to prove to her that I’m worthy of it. Animals and their resilience. It gets me every time 🥹. #clementineforever #veganforher
It’s crazy that the first cow born here with us in sanctuary is turning 2 years old today. To me this strong, independent, fearless lady has matured beyond her years. I’m sure becoming Junie’s mother at a very young age has played a role in her gorgeous old soul energy. I can tell you for a fact that I’m a better person for knowing her. Happiest Birthday my little Booms. We love you so much and can’t imagine a world without you in it. 🖤 #boomerforever #veganforher
