After the sad passing of his foster care brother, Brian is now searching for a forever home with other cow companions.
Brian was born into this world as the byproduct of his mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more.
Male calves are often “disposed of” on dairy farms or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life, as they offer little financial gain to a farmer, as they cannot be used for future breeding or milk production.
This is the heartbreaking reality thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.
In the dairy industry, calves are often taken from their mothers within mere days of their birth so that their mothers can get back to milk production. The milk that is meant for their babies is taken and sold to humans as a commodity.
This separation is not only traumatic to their mental well-being but also to their physical well-being, as they are unable to receive the vital nutrients from their mothers’ milk.
Brian is healthy and full of life, ready to find a forever home where he will be loved as a companion, not a commodity.
The ideal home for Brian is one that has good fencing to keep him secure, a shelter to keep him warm and dry, paddocks of pasture to graze upon and a family to give him the love he deserves.
