Princess

Princess is a black and white Frisian born into the dairy industry. She is now around fifteen years old. Having been bred every year and repeatedly had her calves taken away from her, she came to us as a ‘downed’ cow unable to walk. 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 been settled at Big V for many years, her favourite pastimes now are basking in the sun and eating. She is a magical character, shy yet gregarious, loving but mischievous, calm yet stubborn. She wears her heart on her shoulder, in plain sight for anyone that wishes to see. Her hair as soft as a babe’s head, her whiskers as sharp as any grandads moustache. She is watchful, seeing any visitor, any passers-by  assessing them in her inky stare.

You can read more about Princess and her best friend, now sadly passed Duchess, in this recent blog post.
