🌻 Remembering Tony on His 5th Birthday 🌻

Today would have been our beloved Tony’s 5th birthday, and while our hearts are still heavy with his loss, we find comfort in the many memories he gifted us. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two months since we found him, peacefully passed as if resting, surrounded by his friends Han Solo, Finn, and Rocky. Tony’s sudden departure left an emptiness in our pastures and in our hearts.

Tony was our first cow friend rescue and a true ambassador of joy here at Herd & Flock. He loved meeting visitors at the gate, showing off his long horns, fuzzy ears, and that dashing pompadour. Whether he was licking arms, nibbling on t-shirts, or chasing after mulberry leaves, he never missed a chance to connect with the people around him. Tony had a way of turning ordinary moments into something special, from rolling spools around the fields to knocking on gates just to say hello.

Today, we’re celebrating the vibrant spirit he brought into our lives. We invite you to share your favorite memories, photos, and stories of Tony. Let’s remember the joy, laughter, and love he brought to all of us. Thank you for holding Tony in your hearts and helping us keep his spirit alive.

Happy birthday, sweet Tony. We miss you more than words can express. 💛🐂🌾

Another PG&E planned outage coming our way this week due to high winds and low humidity. The advance notice gives us time to prepare, and I’m thankful it’s not too hot or too cold.

The Petting Zoo Crew: Shelby, Sandia, Sierra and Stella, were rescued 3 years ago by and from a petting zoo on the California coast. It’s a popular petting zoo with lots of babies, goat yoga and events. The problem is that below the surface, this particular place does not take appropriate care of their animals. In fact, our four goat friends, along with 10 others, were left up on a hillside without fresh food and water after the owners decided they didn’t want them any more. A concerned employee called for help and rescuers found them emaciated.

This first photo is from today’s snooze fest after a round of all-they-can-eat hay and play. Swipe Left ⬅️ to see their rescue shots.

While we can only pet Sandia when she has a protective barrier around her, like her bedtime stall, the others have really come out of their shells. They seek pets from volunteers and guests, and that makes our hearts soar.
