Rupert came from a jersey dairy farmer, the unwanted product of the milk industry. He was found in a barn, along with Richard, both with the nanny cow. Her role is to breast feed whoever pops out whilst the farmer decides who he will keep. She does not go outside for the whole season. Rupert was not wanted because he was the wrong colour. Rupert is very kind, loving and gentle. He will do anything for a cuddle. You have our deepest gratitude for choosing to support our sanctuary and helping us to care for our precious residents. Thank you for being one of ‘the best people’!

If there is something he should not eat he will eat it,…

Princess is a black and white Frisian born into the dairy industry. She is now around fifteen years old.

Completely collapsed in the lorry she wasn’t able to stand for about four hours and required emergency treatment from the vet. After hobbling off the lorry she was again unable to get to her feet for about three days. Prior to coming to our sanctuary, Princess had been starved for about six months and as a result she has anxiety issues around food. Now Princess has…
