Meet Panda Bob
Birth: 1/20/2014 Arrival: 2/3/2014 Panda Bob (P. Bob) is one of our friendliest bovines. He loves greeting staff and visitors. He has also been known to ask for scratches behind his ears. P. Bob came to Animal Place as an orphaned calf after his mother was confiscated by local animal control prior to his birth. […]
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 […]
