Wishing all our followers and supporters a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Here at Happily Heifer After, we are always wishing for a kind Christmas for all. So please today, and every day, think about leaving that someone off your plate.
We hope you have a beautiful day spending it with the ones you love ❤️
Bill and Ted’s story starts off like so many other Turkey’s in this world, bound to be Christmas lunch. But thanks to a kind soul, they wanted them to have a safe home and not bound for the dinner plate.
Bill and Ted, who now call Happily Heifer After home are really special individuals. They are gentle, curious, intelligent, social, chatty and sensitive boys. Some of their favourite foods being lettuce, corn and blueberries!
Did you know that around 5 million turkeys are killed every year, just in Australia alone?
This Christmas, choose kindness and choose to leave these amazing beings off your plate! 🙏🏻🎄🦃
There are so many things to give this holiday season that aren’t necessarily materialistic items. We have put together a list of things you can give that cost nothing, yet mean so much 🎄🎁
You can give
1. Kindness. Choose to have a kind Christmas this year and don’t contribute to anyone’s suffering whilst celebrating your holiday. Leave animals in your heart, and off your plate.
2. Love. Give love to not only your loved ones, but anyone around you who needs it. Whether it be the wildlife, the person who serves you at the supermarket, or your neighbour who you may not speak to much.
3. Empathy. Be empathetic to those around you who may be going through difficult times. Showing compassion and empathy for someone may make the world of difference if they feel like they have someone around them who cares.
Share this post around to remind everyone to forget the greed and materialistic desires, and get back to the true spirit of Christmas. Giving, kindness, and love 🥰🙏🏼💕
Eat a vegan burger and make a difference? Sounds great to me! 🍔

Have you met Athena? 🐴🦄
Once saved from the slaughter pens at a sale yard back in 2021, Athena now lives out her best life at the Sanctuary. After spending 8 years as a broodmare on a station, Athena was dumped with a 2 month old foal at foot in a sale yard after a bad injury to her leg. Unhandled, terrified, and suffering from an infected wound, she had no hope of a future...until she crossed our path. Luckily, the person who purchased Athena did a "runner" and didn't pay for her as they could not catch her in the yards. This left Athena with 2 options... the only 2 people left at the sale yards. Us, and the Meat Truck.
Luckily for her and her daughter Hera, they came home with us! 😍
Being an 8 year old unhandled mare with a foal at foot, Athena took a long time to trust us and come around. Combining that with a few old injuries, meaning she cannot be ridden, Athena is a hard horse to adopt out. Unfortunately no one has come forward to adopt Athena in the 2 years she has been with us, but she has a home with us for as long as she needs it 🥹🥰 Her perfect home may come forward one day, but either way she has definitely landed on her hooves and found her Happily Ever After!
Thanks to our community of supporters, we can save lives of animals just like Athena who have no other option. Animals that would otherwise be slaughtered, euthanised, or left in neglectful and abusive circumstances.
We cannot thank you all enough for your support. Every sponsor, donor, and follower. You mean the world to these animals. 🥹🙏💗
Left your present buying to the last minute? We got you! 🎁

🥹🙏💗WE NEED A HOME 🥹🙏💗 Can you help?!
By no fault of their own, Mr Bojangles and Baby Blue, 4 year old Friesan Steers, are in need of a SAFE forever home. Could it be with you?!
Saved from slaughter at only 2 days old, these boys fought for their lives for their first few weeks of existence. Battling pneumonia and a bacterial infection these boys defeated the odds and survived! Now, 4 years later, their human family's circumstances have changed and they can no longer keep B1 and B2 (the boys nicknames).
These boys are absolute sweethearts, and despite their size are very gentle. Their perfect home would be:
-atleast 10 acres of paddock, ideally more. These boys are BIG and need lots of grass or hay to keep them happy and healthy. If you do not have adequate grass you will need to be prepared to supplement feed hay.
-Good fencing. Remember that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Due to their size, these boys can easily push through or go over fences that aren't strong and durable for cattle.
-shelter from the elements. Whether its rain, or hot days these boys need a place to escape the elements and stay comfortable.
-Access to good water. B1 and B2 need to drink lots of fresh water so a good water supply is a must.
-lots of love! They have been through so much in their lives, and deserve nothing more than a home where they can finally stay and be safe forever 🥹💗
If you think that you can open your heart and your home to these gentle giants please get in touch. Finding them a new home has become CRITICAL ❤️🩹🙏
They are currently located near Wamuran QLD.
For the month of December, Happily Heifer After is excited to be included in the Local Matters Program at the North Lakes Grill'd restaurant.
Every month, each restaurant splits $500 between three groups doing amazing work in the community - and that’s where YOUR vote counts.
Local to North lakes? Pop in, grab a Vegan burger and put in your token to get us closer to winning the $300 at the end of the month! 🍔
Not only is this a great opportunity for us to receive much needed funds for the Sanctuary, but also is a great way to get our name out there to the wider Community. 🙏🏻💚
Give the gift of kindness this Christmas! 🎁🎄🌟
With only 17 days until Christmas, there is still time to get that gift delivered straight to your door 📦
We have so many awesome goodies on our online Shop! From Happily Heifer After Tees and singlets, Gift cards, Tote bag, scrunchies to sticker, why not make that animal lover in your life very happy on Christmas morning!

Edit: Galley has found a lovely safe home, thank you!
Assisted Rehoming 🚨
Can you offer Galley a forever home? 🐮
A little about him from his owner, Linda…
‘Galley is a 6 year old brahman steer who was born on our farm at Langshaw near Gympie. In 2021 we sold our farm and Galley went to live with people at Widgee. These people have now listed their property for sale and can no longer care for Galley. Galley was born by emergency cesearan section and resuscitated at birth. He endured a significant period of ill health following his birth and fought hard to survive. He experienced pneumonia, epilepsy, inability to walk and had to be hand fed by a tube into his stomach for months. My husband cared for Galley during this time and taught him how to walk again. As Galley fought so hard to live he deserves to live his life out in peace in a forever home.’
If you think you can offer Galley a home, please get in touch. 🙏🏻 Pet home only.
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the benefits of adopting a vegan diet. Beyond being a dietary choice, it represents a lifestyle that extends its positive impact far beyond individual health.
It's estimated that going vegan saves on average one animal per day. If that's the difference just one person can makes in one day, imagine the number of animals that are saved every month, every year, or over the course of a lifetime, simply by choosing a vegan diet.
With the Holiday season fast approaching, why not opt for a Cruelty free Christmas this year? It is so easy to do, without missing out on all your favourites!
You don’t have to run an Animal Sanctuary to save lives, it all starts by leaving that someone off your plate 💚🙏🏻
You asked, we listened! Our first Paint and Pat event was such a success that we have just added our next event onto the website 🥳
Join us on Saturday 10th of February for an afternoon of painting, snacking and of course being surrounded by the residents that call Happily Heifer After home 🥰
Tickets are super limited so make sure you grab your tickets today to avoid missing out via the below link:

See you there! 🙏🏻💖
We are beyond grateful to all who contributed, shared, or supported our "Double the Donation" campaign! We're overjoyed to share that, thanks to your generosity, we've surpassed our $10,000 goal! Our final total came to $10,487 doubling up to $20,487 🤩💗 WOW!
The collective power of your donations, shares, and likes amplifies our ability to combat the challenges of drought and secures a stable future for our beloved animals. Your support doesn't just meet a financial target; it helps feed hope during challenging seasons.
Together, we've made a significant stride in safeguarding the well-being of our animals. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for being the driving force behind our success and for making a difference in the lives of animals.
Your support is like sunshine to our sanctuary – bright, warm, and absolutely essential! Cheers to you! 🌟🙏
Today is your last day to double your donation and Jack is getting excited! So far so have raised $9,425 with only $575 left to reach our target! Remember that every dollar will be DOUBLED tonight, meaning we have the potential to raise $20,000!🤩🥳🙏
Can you help us get there? 🙏🏻
We are so thankful to every single person who has donated, shared, liked, messaged and spread the word about our campaign. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today!! You guys are the backbone of this organisation, and we couldn't continue our life saving work without you 🥹💗
Happily Heifer After is a registered charity, we unfortunately don’t get any help or funding from the government, which means we rely on public donation to support our mission. Without your donations we would not be able to Rescue, Rehome and rehabilitate Farm animals in need of our help.
To help us reach our target, head to https://www.happilyheiferafter.org/product-page/double-your-donation to donate💗🙏
We are almost there! Only 2 days to go until the end of our Double Donation drive. Can you believe we have already raised $8,995. Incredible!
One of the biggest residents that currently calls Happily Heifer After home is our lovely boy, Stanley.
Stanley came into our care approximately 2.5 years ago. He was an unwanted wild bull, who jumped from property to property causing damage to infrastructure and fencing. He spent 8 years of his life being hunted by Farmers trying to catch and remove him from their properties. He was shot at, beaten and chased but no one could ever catch him. We were contacted about him and we of course jumped at the chance to save this deserving soul. We raised enough funds to purchase a trailer big and strong enough to bring him back home, portable yards to contain him in, and the costs to cover his initial castration surgery. We then made our way to go and rescue Stanley. After 14 long hours we managed to catch Stanley and bring him back to the Sanctuary safely.
We showed him compassion, kindness and respect and slowly he started to trust us, after many years of running for his life from humans. He wouldn’t have been here today if it wasn’t for the HHA Team and all the supporters that made it happen!
Although Stanley’s rescue was a true success, care for him doesn’t end there. Weighing in at over 1000kg, you can imagine he eats A LOT of Hay, which does not come cheap.
Can you help us fill our Hay shed to help continue with Stanley’s care?

Only 3 days left to Double your impact by having your donation doubled! So far we have raised $6,012, which is getting us closer and closer to our goal of $10,000. 🤩👏
Our Mission here at Happily Heifer After Sanctuary has always been to Rescue, Rehome and Rehabilitate animals that come into our care. Like many, we too have been feeling the financial pinch of the cost of living increase. Rising costs of animal feed and vet bills, plus a significant drop in sponsors, led us to make the heart-breaking decisions to close our gates to new surrenders.
Every week we are contacted by people who have to surrender their beloved family members because they can no longer afford to care for them or have had change in circumstances. In the last month alone, we have had requests to surrender 5 cows, 4 pigs, 3 horses and 4 goats. We always try and work with the surrenderer to find the best outcome. We can help with assisted rehoming posts, tapping into our network of service professionals and other rescue organisations, and even providing advice if the best option is for the animal to stay in their current home
Not only will raising the $10,000 give us more financial security, knowing that our next large Hay bill will be covered for our current residents. It will also enable us to potentially take on more animals who need us. In a perfect world, cost would never be a factor when deciding what rescues we take on, but it’s the reality of running a rescue.
If every follower gives just $5, we can make our goal happen and help so many more animals in need! Please, consider donating at www.happilyheiferafter.org and help us reach our goal!! 🥹🙏🥰
It is full steam ahead and we are already at our half way mark!
Our Tally is at $5,745, with $4,255 left to reach our goal of $10,000! Because of your generosity and love, YOU have made this happen.
You may be wondering why Hay is so expensive, right?! 🌾
There are many factors which have contributed to the shortage of Hay across Australia.
- Cereal Hay crop for the year is down by around 80% to this time last year
- High Grain prices
- Flooding and heavy rain in growing regions
- Demand for Hay is high, but with supply low, this shortage is pushing hay prices up to ‘Drought value’ at the start of 2023
High quality hay has become more scarce now than at any time in the past 20 years, so it is more important than ever to make sure we are purchasing and stockpiling hay when it becomes available to us to keep all our residents happy and healthy.
Can you help us fill our Hay shed? Going through $1200 of Hay every single week, every dollar you donate helps towards our ever increasing feed bill.

We are officially at Day 3 of our campaign, with only 4 days left to Double your Impact by having your donation doubled! Our Tally so far is at $4,625 Thank you so much to everyone who has helped get us closer to our goal. We still need to raise $5,375 to reach our target of $10,000. 🤩
With 13 Cows currently calling Happily Heifer After home, you can just imagine how much hay we go through from just the cows alone. Jackie (pictured below), is the littlest of the ‘Big Moo’ herd, but she LOVES her food.
Jackie was surrendered to us on September 3rd, 2019 from a dairy farm that had ceased operation. Jackie had been seen as a product of the dairy industry for 7 years where she had 6 babies in that period. Each of her babies removed from her loving self in order to have her milk taken to be sold for human consumption.
Jackie came into our care pregnant with what was to be her last child. She gave birth to her baby on November the 16th of 2019 with a beautiful girl that we named 'Hope'. Jackie was incredibly protective of her new baby in fear that history would repeat on her. She hid Hope from us after birthing her and protected her from humans at all costs.
It took a while for Jackie to trust but she eventually learned that we don't see her as a profitable source, we see her as a wonderful, caring mother with a incredible heart. Jackie has also adopted another calf as her own, Beau. She has raised both Hope and Beau beautifully, and loves her children as every mother does.
Jackie not only is Hope and Beaus mother, but she is the matriarch of the herd and often can be seen mothering all the other cows. Although she can be a bit nervous around new humans at first, she has a heart of gold and we are so grateful to give her the home and life that she deserves with her children and her family.
We are 100% Funded by donations. Please donate towards our goal to fill the Hay Shed so we can continue to keep Jackie and her herds tummies full?

Wow what an incredible first day of the double donation campaign! Thanks to our generous community we have raised $4,273 🥹🙏🏼💕
That will be DOUBLED and turn into $8,546!!
Let’s keep going and smash our goal. 😍🤞🏼💕

Thank you to every single person who donated, shared and liked our post yesterday! We raised $2,373 on the first day of our Double Donation Campaign! We still need to raise $7,627 to reach our target of $10,000. 🤩
Why donate to Happily Heifer After? Over the past 5 years HHA has saved the lives of 1314 animals in need. Neglected, mistreated, abused and bound for slaughter, these animals were left with only one hope, us.
Sadly, without the support of our community we simply cannot continue this life saving work. It takes a lot of time, resources, and financial support to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. Without the financial security of this campaign, we cannot continue to help the huge influx of surrender requests we have been receiving. This is where you come in!
If we can meet our target and raise $10,000 doubling to $20,000 that means we will be in a better position to help more animals in need.
Can you help us continue to save lives?
Head to www.happilyheiferafter.org to donate! 🙏🥹
🥳🤩We have VERY exciting news! 🥳🤩
Thanks to a very generous donor, every single donation over the next 7 days, starting today, will be matched dollar for dollar… up to $10,000! This is an exciting opportunity for YOU to make double the difference with your donation! 👏💗
Unfortunately, we have been experiencing below average rainfall, meaning the grass cannot grow. As our paddocks start to brown, and our dams begin to dry up we are relying on Hay more than ever for the animal residents that call Happily Heifer After home.
Of the 85 animals that currently call the sanctuary home, 13 cows, 11 horses, 3 donkeys, 8 goats and 6 sheep eat A LOT of hay! $1200 of hay alone every single WEEK!
Our Goal over the next week is to raise $10,000 to fill up our Hay Shed! Can you help us fill up our hay shed with hay to keep the animals tummies full?

Can you guess what it may be?! 🤔
Queen Bee 🐝🐥 Whilst rescuing 260 hens from a caged egg farm, I noticed Bee laying in a pile of faeces, and dead hens on the ground. At first glance I thought she was dead too, but then she blinked and my heart sank. I asked the workers if I could take her and they agreed.
Bee was incredibly emaciated, dehydrated and weak. She was barely hanging onto life and would not have lived much longer without intervention. Luckily for her, I happened to be there that day to save her life 💕🥹
Bees recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. With nothing medically wrong with bee, she just needed good food, water, time to heal, and lots of love. It only took her a few weeks to get back to being a normal chicken! Bee is now our cuddliest hen, and full of life.
Thank you to all of our chicken champion sponsors who support this life saving work 🥹💕🙏🏼 To help us keep saving hens like Bee, signup at https://www.happilyheiferafter.org/sponsorship

Can you offer beautiful Rocky a Forever home? 🥰
‘Strictly companion only 🐎
🐴 Located SE Qld
🐴 Approx 25 - 27 yrs old
🐴 Quiet, easy to handle
🐴 An absolute sweetheart ❤️
I write this with a heavy heart and never did I think I would have to but due to changed circumstances, I would like to put the feelers out there to find a forever home that my boy is deserving of.
This is my boy Rock, he is a beautiful senior approx 25 - 27yrs old, 14.1hh and the softest soul. I was lucky enough to rescue him when he was approx 2 yrs old, unfortunately no records or information could be provided for him.
He is very quiet and loves connection ❤️ I have 6 yr old twins that have been around him since birth and they can do anything with him. They handle him, care for him, brush him, feed him, walk him, sit on his back and at times they will go for a quick, light walk bare back whilst on lead with me.
Due to his age, he can no longer be ridden but feel he has plenty of life left in him and this is a huge reason I wish to find him the best home. He has alot to offer and because of his soft nature, I feel he would be a great first pony for kids to learn how to care for, therapy horse etc. I wish for him to live his retirement days out with all that he deserves and from someone that can provide this to him ❤️
Rock is up to date with his vaccinations, worming, teeth and feet. Due to his age, he will require feeding daily (his lost condition which I'm working hard to get back on but is slowly happening) and he will definitely require lots of ❤️😍
Rock will only be going to the best home where he is well cared for and loved, fed daily, requirements kept up to date and will be a companion horse only. Happy to any questions or discuss further if you are interested in my boy.’
If you think you can offer Rocky a perfect home, please contact Jess on 0403 971 315 or [email protected] 🙏🏻

At Happily Heifer After, we will never support or contribute to any type of Animal racing.
From 2019-2023 we have rescued and rehabilitated 5 Ex Race horses and found Forever homes for 3 of these lovely beings, who deserved more than just being a number on the track.
Horse racing is about -
· The constant push for the fastest, strongest horses results in overbreeding, leaving many horses that don't make the cut. These horses often end up in uncertain and sometimes dire situations. Go to any horse sales and see the unwanted and abused ex racehorses that are destined to be dog food.
· The intense training and high-pressure environment increase the risk of injuries. Some horses suffer injuries that end their careers, and sadly, others don't make it, and that's just heartbreaking.
· Many horses in racing are also given medications to keep them competitive. While it might help them run faster, it can also seriously impact their health. In some tragic cases, it even leads to fatalities.
· Whipping, Tongue Ties and Tongue Clips are still a thing in horse racing!
The "Nup to the Cup" movement is a response to the cruelty and mistreatment of horses within the racing industry. Advocates and organizations are working to raise awareness about these issues and call for reform. The movement encourages people to boycott the Melbourne Cup and other horse racing events, emphasizing the need for change.
Saying "Nup to the Cup" is not just a rejection of a single horse racing event; it's a stand against the systemic issues that plague the industry. The welfare of horses should always be a top priority, and the "Nup to the Cup" movement serves as a powerful reminder of the need for reform. While the Melbourne Cup has a long history, it's time to reevaluate the price that horses pay for our entertainment and tradition.

Every year on November 1st, people around the world come together to celebrate World Vegan Day. This special day serves as a reminder of the growing global movement towards a plant-based lifestyle. It's a time to reflect on the numerous benefits of veganism for our health, the environment, and animal welfare.
Veganism is more than just a dietary choice; it is a way of life that seeks to minimize harm to animals, reduce environmental impact, and promote a healthier lifestyle. Vegans abstain from consuming animal products, which includes not only meat but also dairy, eggs, and other byproducts of animal exploitation. They opt for plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds.
Over the past decade, veganism has witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity. A combination of factors, including increased awareness of animal cruelty in the food industry, concerns about the environmental consequences of animal agriculture, and a focus on personal health, has driven more people to adopt a vegan lifestyle. World Vegan Day acts as a focal point for this ever-expanding global community.
Perhaps the most profound aspect of veganism is its commitment to animal welfare. Factory farming practices involve cruelty and inhumane treatment of animals. Choosing to go vegan is an ethical stance against these practices, as it seeks to minimize the suffering of animals. World Vegan Day emphasizes the importance of compassion and encourages individuals to think about the lives of the animals they impact with their dietary choices.
World Vegan Day is a day of reflection, education, and celebration. It's a reminder that the choices we make about our diets have far-reaching consequences for animals, the environment, and our own health. Whether you're a committed vegan, a flexitarian, or simply someone looking to make more mindful dietary choices, World Vegan Day is an opportunity to embrace compassion and sustainability and join the growing global movement towards a more ethical and eco-friendly way of living. 🌱🙏🏻💖
Help! 🥹🙏🏼 Our paddocks are dry and bare, and there is not much rain in sight 🥵💔 With over 90 animals at the sanctuary, we go through SO much hay, water, and feed to keep them happy and healthy. With the extremely dry conditions that we are experiencing, hay prices have gone through the roof!
We are currently going through 7 large round hay bales per week. That’s $1,050 just in hay 😓😖
Can you help us get through this? Please consider donating a small bale of hay for $30 or a large bale for $150! The animals rely on the generosity of our supporters, so please help if you can 🥹🙏🏼💕

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🙏🏼
We are so happy to announce that Harriett has finally found her family and forever home 🥹💕🙏🏼
We saved Harriett from being sent to slaughter back in January 2021. She was only 5 years old, but had experienced more trauma than any horse ever should.
She had so much distrust and fear towards humans, her rehabilitation took a very long time. Countless days of positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement and a lot of treats!
Luckily after months she learned to trust humans, despite everything our species had done to her.
Harriett suffered from an old injury making her unrideable. Unfortunately, finding homes for companion horses like Harriett are difficult. Particularly if the horse has had a traumatic background and behavioural issues.
Rehoming is an important part of the work we do, so we can continue to help more animals in need. We are very strict about where our animals are adopted out to, ensuring they will only go to the best possible homes! We weren’t going to let anyone adopt Harriet that wasn’t going to treat her like the queen she is 🐴👑
Luckily after years of searching, the perfect adoption application came in for Harriett. She went on her 2 week trial, and her new family fell in love… how could they not!
Now Harriett will live out her life with her forever family. Loved, and cherished as all horses deserve to be 💕🙏🏼🐴
Are you looking to adopt a farm animal in need of a home? We always have animals available for adoption….horses, cows, goats, sheep, and chickens! Get in touch if you think you can provide a 5⭐️ FOREVER home 💕🙏🏼

Bee is now our cuddliest hen, and full of life. Thank you to all of our chicken champion sponsors who support this life saving work 🥹💕🙏🏼 To help us keep saving hens like Bee, signup at https://www.happilyheiferafter.org/sponsorship

261 lives saved 😍🙌🏼🥳 After spending their whole 18 months of life inside of a caged egg factory farm these beautiful girls have won chook lotto!! This video is the first moment they have felt the sun on their skin, and fresh air in their lungs. Thanks to all of the mother cluckers who came forward to adopt hens, we were able to save 261 lives! 🥳 We have had to take home 14 hens and admit them to the hen hospital. Michelle is heading off to our avian vet soon to get them all the treatment they need. The hen hospital now has: -7 hens suffering from broken wings -3 hens suffering from severe leg/hip injuries and not weight bearing -4 hens with respiratory infections Let’s hope that after treatment and rehabilitation, all hens can make a full recovery!

Fletch fought so hard for his life 🥹🙏🏼 and look how far he has come! 😍
Rescued at only 12 hours old, Rocky the fighter spent weeks fighting for his life. He was hypothermic, suffering from severe pneumonia, septic arthritis, and temporary paralysis. Rocky was an unwanted male calf rescued from the dairy industry, and would’ve died like the other hundreds of thousands of calves that are killed every single year here in Australia. 4 years later and he is a big, strong, and healthy steer! Rocky is loved, valued, and respected as an individual. Not a product. Go vegan for the babies just like Rocky, who aren’t so lucky 🥹🥰🙏🏼
Stanley the magnificent 🥹🙏🏼🥰
We have been working our butts off to make our forever home as amazing as we can for the animals! We cannot wait to see things really start to come together over the next few weeks, once we get our first major fencing project underway! 🥹🙏🏼🥰

This weekend was Wills 4th birthday!! 🥹🎂 Surrendered as a TINY sick baby, Will was once destined for someone’s plate. Now he has grown to a HUGE boy, and gets to live his life full of love, friendship, kindness, mud wallows, room to roam, and everything a piggy could want 🥹😍 Will got his own birthday cake but decided he didn’t want to share so ate it all in one bite 🤦♀️😂
He’s already had a full body massage, eaten a whole cake and bag of chips, and gone for a walk in the forest… what’s next for our big boy blue 🥹🥰🤩

Rocky was taken from his mother at only 12 hours old, so that the breastmilk she created for him could be taken and sold to humans. Luckily, because of everyone who sponsors Happily Heifer After we were able to save him, and give him the life all cows deserve to live! His days are filled with love, kindness, and family. He will never go without everything he needs to thrive, and we have YOU to thank for that!!
