Five Calves Rescued from Dairy Farm Begin New Lives at Tasmania Sanctuary

Five newborn calves, rescued from a dairy farm in Australia by Companion Cows, are now thriving at a Tasmania-based animal sanctuary. The calves were saved from facing grim fates with legal culling methods commonly used in the dairy industry. Despite initial health challenges, all five calves, named Poppy, Charlie, Tater, Sprout, and Goldie, are now in good health after receiving emergency veterinary care and support from the sanctuary's care team.

Companion Cows, established three years ago, is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dairy cows and their offspring. The sanctuary was inspired by the rescue of two newborn dairy calves and now operates Australia-wide. The rescued calves are enjoying their new lives at the sanctuary, playing and basking in the sunshine as they prepare for rehoming after undergoing necessary veterinary assessments and surgical procedures.
