Nineteen cows and steers, rescued by kind-hearted people, were given a safe sanctuary to call home – a place where they were no longer seen as a commodity.
Life on Earth can be far from peaceful for cows and other farmed animals. Their right to be respected as living, feeling beings is often ignored, and the right to live without suffering is frequently denied. Their existence is often defined solely by their value as commodities—whether it be for meat, milk, fur, or entertainment. Their lives are fragile, and at any moment, they could face a heartbreaking fate.
The welfare of farmed animals is overlooked by the law, and their ability to feel pain and fear is often disregarded. However, many compassionate individuals advocate for these animals each day, standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Across Australia and other countries, many sanctuaries exist where people recognise these beings for who they are, rather than what they can provide, creating safe spaces for them to live peacefully.
This beautiful family of cows is among the luckiest on Earth, many having been saved from slaughter and given a second chance to live in comfort and safety at a sanctuary.
Heartbreakingly, those who have sacrificed so much to provide a safe home for these animals now need our help to ensure that they can continue to live a wonderful life as they regrettably hand over their care to a new loving family.
These nineteen cows need a place to call home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.

Meet an extraordinary herd of cows and steers, each with a story of rescue and love thanks to a sanctuary that has been their safe haven. Some were born in the sanctuary’s care, where they grew up knowing only love and kindness. Others arrived as tiny calves in need of rescue or joined later as adults seeking refuge. Together, they have created a harmonious herd, flourishing under the sanctuary’s care. Now, with the sanctuary closing its gates, we are helping them find new beginnings where they can continue to thrive.
This herd is as diverse in personality as they are in their stories. Some are outgoing and love a good cuddle, always eager for a pat on the head or a nuzzle. Others are thoughtful observers who take their time to warm up before offering their trust. Collectively, they share a peaceful, gentle nature and a deep appreciation for life and have lived harmoniously alongside other animals and are respectful of fencing, making them the ideal additions to any loving home. Whether grazing peacefully in the sun or exploring their surroundings together, their contentment is contagious, their gratitude for life shines in every gentle moment, and they have a way of bringing comfort and happiness to everyone they meet.
These cows and steers are perfect for anyone with a big heart and luscious green paddocks. Whether you are experienced in cow care or a first-time adopter, they would thrive with animal lovers dreaming of starting a cow rescue, a loving family farm looking to add cow companions with the bonus of natural lawn care, or anyone wanting to welcome a few delightful companions into their family.
Their ideal forever home includes spacious, secure paddocks where they can graze, explore, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life with kind, attentive adopters who are ready to share their love. Keeping this devoted herd together on 40+ acres would be a dream, but they can also be adopted in bonded pairs (4+ acres), trios (6+ acres), or groups of four (8+ acres).
Welcoming these rescued animals into your life is so much more than an adoption; it is a chance to provide a caring and loving environment for animals who truly know how to make every day brighter and who will bring immeasurable joy in return.
