Taken away from their mothers shortly after birth, Betsy and Neville have endured a traumatic start to life, a beginning no living being deserves. 

Male calves born on dairy farms are commonly deemed as “waste” or “surplus”, as they offer little financial gain to the farmer. These calves are often “disposed of” on the farm or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse. 

Similarly, females born on dairy farms are often kept for future milk production. Or when the farmer doesn’t need more females, or they aren’t worthy of breeding, they too face the same horrible fate.  

Neville and Betsy were rescued in a hurry as they faced an unimaginable fate.  Fortunately, they were saved in the nick of time. Thanks to the generosity of our kind donors, Betsy and Neville are now safe in short-term foster care. 

Neville and Betsy, two charming calves, are looking for a loving home where they can grow and thrive as cherished companions. This delightful duo has blossomed in the care of our devoted Foster Carers, and are now ready to bring joy to their new home.

Neville and Betsy are a delightful mix of contrasts. One moment, they are curled up, sleepy and content, and the next, they are up on their feet, exploring their surroundings with boundless curiosity. Their mornings start with eager anticipation as they hurry to finish their milk before heading out to explore. Neville, the most excitable of the two, brings a burst of energy with his infectious enthusiasm and happy disposition. Betsy, on the other hand, is a playful soul with a penchant for chewing and sucking on anything within reach, much like a curious puppy. Their interactions with other animals – from hens to dogs – have been harmonious, showcasing their adaptable and friendly nature. 

Neville and Betsy are looking for a home where they can continue enjoying life’s simple pleasures. They require a place with ample space to roam and graze, secure fencing to keep them safe, and a cosy shelter to protect them from the elements. Their ideal family would cherish them not just as lawnmowers but as beloved companions. Whether or not you have other animals, these two calves will integrate well into any loving environment.
