Read Lucy's Story ^{(In Memoriam)}

Lucy was rescued with two other cows from a very wealthy man who had many exotic animals as pets. When he sadly lost everything in the stock market crash in 2007, all the animals were sold. But the cows were going to go to slaughter. The staff thought that unfair and reached out asking us to give them a forever home. Lucy loved affection and could not get enough attention from us. She loved posing for pictures, holding still for hugs, and giving her energy to all who needed it. Lucy was so giving that when we had an orphan calf needing a friend, we thought of her right away. Lucy loved our calf Ferdinand so much that she produced milk for him and officially adopted him as her own. She nurse him three times a day, gave him a bath, and put him to bed each night. She was older by that time, in her late teens, and had already developed mobility issues. For over a year we did everything we could to keep Lucy mobile, comfortable, and strong. We gave her rich hay and grain to keep weight on her, acupuncture and massage therapy to keep her walking, Sun Chlorella to boost her immune system, and CBD for comfort. In that year Lucy was able to heal Ferdinands heart, raise him, show him how to be an ambassador, and introduce him to the others cows. One day without warning, Lucy could not stand up and after trying everything we could, the veterinarian ran out of options and helped Lucy out of her body so she wouldn’t suffer. Lucy left an enormous legacy behind, and she will always live on in Ferdinand and all of us who’s hearts she healed, opened, and loved so much!
