Rescued as calves from a dairy farm, this trio has lived a life of love and comfort. Due to unexpected toxins on the property, their future is uncertain as they search for a new forever home.
Most farm animals outlive the life expectancy of many ‘domestic’ pets. Many breeds of farm animals can live beyond 20 years, which represents a long-term commitment for their owners to provide appropriate feed, meet their ongoing healthcare needs over the years and remain on a suitable property.
However, this long-term commitment is sometimes overlooked by owners of farm animals when committing to give them a home. In such cases, farm animals may end up in situations where they need to be surrendered, and if this fails, these animals are often abandoned, euthanised or end up in the wrong hands, facing a sad fate.
Farm animals are frequently perceived as less deserving of lifetime commitment compared to domestic animals, and as a result, euthanasia as a solution isn’t frowned upon as much. This attitude contributes to the challenges faced by farm animals when they are no longer wanted or cannot be properly cared for.
Though they’ll never know how lucky they are, Biscuit, Bernard, and Franklin are the exception, having a family who won’t give up on them. This trio’s family wanted nothing less than to give them a home for good, but things changed quickly when their owners discovered that their property was contaminated with toxins. A large property that was supposed to provide many acres of pasture and a haven soon turned into a dangerous place where they had to be restricted.
While their fate is unknown in the long term due to the lack of pasture they can safely access and the unexpected financial strain of relying heavily on supplemental feed, they have a loving family that wants to ensure that they are given the best chance at finding a new home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities

Meet Biscuit, Bernard, and Franklin, a loving trio who have been showered with affection since they were bottle-fed calves. Rescued and nurtured boys, they are more like oversized puppies, yearning for attention, companionship, and a few delicious treats.
As bottle-fed babies they are affectionate and incredibly friendly. These gentle giants will delight in following you around the paddock like loyal companions, eagerly seeking out a good scratch or brushing session.
