Rescue Stories

Farm Sanctuary’s biggest “bachelor herd” has a new leading lady!

It’s been close to a decade since they first roamed our pastures, but Cowboy and Cassidy are back and calling Farm Sanctuary home again.

In mid-March, we were alerted to a horrific cruelty case on a sheep dairy farm in Kings County, CA.

Boris has a big family. The former “Easter lamb”—once set to be slaughtered at just four months old—is alive today because of it.

We couldn’t have asked for a better time to welcome Forrest into the Farm Sanctuary family.

Before coming to Farm Sanctuary, Patch was stuck in the past.

Leave it to the “Subway Goats” to miss their own birthday party.

For two goats who had spent their whole lives without names, finding monikers that fit was of the utmost importance.

Seymour is different from most bovines at Farm Sanctuary. Why? He is a water buffalo! Even so, he fits right in among his own little herd of domesticated cows: his best friend, a cow named Pepper, and her yearling calf, Truffles.

What should have been a happy occasion quickly grew traumatic: Holly, a sheep pregnant with twins, lost her first lamb shortly after giving birth.
