Remembering the beginnings

POST #8 of 20

I was born yesterday. I have never felt the touch of my Mama or any other cow. The farmer was there when I was born and put me in this box. They bring me a bottle in the dark early morning and again in the afternoon. I am alone all the time, except when I get my bottle. I am hungry.

remembering Little Macc's first few days with us Shadowhaven Farm Sanctuary

POST #5 of 20

I was born 5 days ago. After only a few hours with my Mama they took me away. Since then, I have lived in a box by myself. Today the farmer took me out of the box and out of the barn for the first time. I saw the sky and felt the cold cold air. My brother who lived near me for a few days is gone. I don't know where. My Mama is gone, and I miss her so much. Just now the farmer put me in this cage. And, there is a new human here. She has a gentle voice. I don't know what is happening, but it is warm here, and soft.

The farmer lifted me out of my box in the barn and we walked out, through the barn door. It is really cold. But I see my sisters! Is he going to put me by myself outside, in a hut in the cold?

I'm scared. There was another boy calf in a box near me. Yesterday the farmer picked him up and took him away. His Mama was being milked when it happened - she kept crying for him and he cried for his Mama. He didn't come back. What happened to him? What is going to happen to me? Mama! I want my Mama

The first calf rescued by Shadowhaven Farm Sanctuary

POST #2 of 20:

I was born 4 days ago. My mother was so happy to see me. She licked me all over and we cuddled in the dark. I nursed from her udder and felt safe. Suddenly, the dark disappeared and it was bright. I heard noises and then I was lifted up and carried away from my mom. I could hear her crying for me. I struggled and called back - but I could not get to her. They put me in this box and left me here. Later they brought me a bottle of milk and made me drink it...I called and called for my mother, but I never saw her again... I am cold and so sad. Where is my mom?

Happy Gotcha month Little Macc and Barak! The first of 9 calves (and two cows) we rescued in 2020-2021

One year ago, in early December, Little Macc joined the Shadowhaven Farm Sanctuary - 10 days later (on December 14th) Barak was rescued and became sweet Rosie's second adopted son. Little Macc and Barak started our year of calf rescue. Between the Fall of 2020 and Spring of 2021 Shadowhaven Farm Sanctuary rescued 9 calves and two cows:
- Rosie (16 year old Jersey cow surrendered to us because she was not pregnant and therefore could no longer be milked - 8 months later she gave birth to her miracle baby - Jeffie
