Meet Junior
Birth: 5/19/2013 Arrival: 11/19/2013 Junior has always been one brave Angus! Born on a cow-calf ranch in Northern California, Junior was not about to hang around and be shipped off to slaughter. Bovines born on cow-calf ranches are allowed to nurse and bond with their herds for 8 or 9 months before they are torn […]
Meet Stanley
Birth: 11/27/2012 Arrival: 12/5/2012 Stanley is a lovable Angus bovine. He was born on a cow-calf ranch in Northern California. Ranchers planned to let Stanley live in his herd for months before sending him to a feedlot to be fattened for slaughter. One fateful December night, strong wind, rain, and noise separated Stanley from his […]
Dairy Industry Afraid of Competition
Is the dairy industry afraid of competition? The dairy industry appears so petrified of the growing plant-based milk sector that they petitioned Congressional members to submit a letter to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) demanding that “milk” be defined solely as the mammary secretions from a cow (sorry, sheep and goats). Remember how this […]
Meet Theodore
Birth: 10/3/2012 Arrival: 11/3/2012 Theodore is a Holstein, a breed used for milk. As a male, he held no value to the dairy farm – he could not become pregnant and produce milk. A backyard slaughterer bought Theo directly from the farm and confined him to a backyard in urban Sacramento, CA. Unhappy with his […]
Meet Jazzy
Birth: 7/1/2010 Arrival: 7/1/2014 Jazzy is a Jersey cow – a breed commonly used for their milk. She was born on a dairy farm for that reason: to suffer insemination, pregnancy, having her baby stolen, having her baby’s milk taken from her, and then to start the process over again. But Jazzy is a freemartin, […]
Meet Summer
Birth: 5/25/2009 Arrival 5/31/2009 Born on a dairy farm, Summer was a disappointment to farmers using cows for milk. As a male he would never produce milk, so would never garner them a profit. The farmer sent Summer, along with fifty other calves, to a local “livestock” auction. Summer was purchased by an animal rescuer […]
Meet Murphy
Birth: 5/25/2009 Arrival: 5/25/2010 Murphy is a large neutered Holstein with majestic horns and soulful eyes. Born on a dairy farm, Murphy was considered waste – like all male calves born to farms that use cows for milk. He was stolen from his mother and sent to auction. The people who bought Murphy took him […]
Meet Tommy
Birth: 9/17/2009 Arrival: 9/17/2010 Tommy is a gentle giant. He is an Angus, a breed used for their flesh. Like most bovines raised for their flesh, Tommy was born on a cow-calf ranch, where cows bond with their calves for 6-8-months before their eventual destination of a feedlot and slaughter. A runt calf, Tommy caught […]
