Victoria, Uki, and Winton were spared from the dairy industry and escaped the heartbreaking fate most bobby calves face.
Taken away from their mothers shortly after birth, Victoria, Uki, and Winton have endured a traumatic start to life, a beginning no living being deserves. Victoria, Uki, and Winton 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 Victoria, are born as “surplus” and are also deemed as “waste” when dairy farmers don’t need more female cows to raise for future milking.
Victoria, Uki, and Winton 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, three more lives have been spared.
Now healthy and feeling cared for Victoria, Uki, and Winton are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
