I have been a Foster Carer since 2022. I live on a small piece of acreage and have the luxury of raising these special rescue calves.
I have rescued 25 baby calves to date. Not every rescue ended with a life being saved. As a Foster Carer, you can experience love, joy and happiness – you can also witness pain, suffering and unsurvivable medical conditions.
We will work around the clock to keep them alive, often with the help of other Foster Carers. Each and every calf is given a name and the love and affection they deserve. I have driven interstate to collect just one calf, then collected seven a few months later.
Two foster cows in my care created an incredible bond with me, so I adopted them. They now look over all the frightened babies that I rescue and provide them with a safe haven and protection.
They are such wonderful creatures, they are truly like dogs. When I tell people what I do, I explain that the rescue calves actually rescue me. I cannot express the happiness they bring into my home. ‘Til The Cows provides all medical, nutritional and environmental support for these fragile creatures, also providing incredible support to the Foster Carers.
I am so proud of ‘Til The Cows – we actually do make a difference.
