Cows can be as lovable a companion animal as a dog or cat.
True, it's hard to put cows in the back seat of the car and take them for a ride or invite them onto your lap when you're watching TV, but I'm learning there are other ways to enjoy the companionship of these gentle animals. Their home for the previous five months had been Farm Sanctuary in Orland, California. This haven for rescued farm animals got the calves from the Arizona Humane Society after they confiscated them from a man who was arrested for having a total of six Jersey calves locked in the trunk of his car on a blistering hot August day in Phoenix. Three of the calves died shortly after they were rescued and my guys came very close to not surviving. It was the tender loving care they received during their first few weeks and months of life from volunteers and staff of these two humane organizations that kept them alive.
