From a dairy farm deemed as “waste” to a loving Home.
Taken away from their mothers shortly after birth, Harriett and Stanley have endured a traumatic start to life, a beginning no living being deserves. Stanley and Harriett were rescued from the harsh realities of a dairy farm. In an industry that often views calves as mere byproducts, many are stripped from their mothers shortly after birth, destined for slaughter or left to perish when deemed unviable.
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 – a life of being milked continuously before facing the sad fate of the slaughter truck once their milk production decreases at around 5 years of age. Many female calves, like Harriett, are born as “surplus” and are also deemed as “waste” when dairy farmers don’t need more female cows to raise for future milking.
Stanley and Harriett were among the fortunate ones to have been rescued, sadly this isn’t the reality for hundreds of thousands of calves born on dairy farms each year. Thanks to the generosity of our community and donors, two more lives have been spared. Stanley and Harriett are now healthy and looking for a loving forever home.
