I had never heard of mini cows until we started the farm, but they always looked so darn cute. When our good friend and fellow sanctuary founder called us with the news she had to temporarily close her sanctuary to care for her sick daughter, we told her we would help. She had a mini donkey named Eeyore and a mini cow named Ember Rose she wanted to give us. When they arrived, we kept Ember Rose and Eeyore together in the barnyard. But Ember Rose began to show interest in the other cows so we moved her into the cow pasture and kept a close eye on the group. The cows immediately took her in and started to care for her like a calf. When I called our friend to give her an update, I was told Ember Rose never knew her mother. But British White Cow Maggie stepped up to mother her, even letting her nurse despite not having any milk. Ember Rose really started to showcase her personality and could often been seen running in the pasture. She began to cautiously approach me every day, at first pulling away when I tried to pet her. But things changed when I started carrying her favorite treats in my pocket and she now allows me to love on her as long as I want! Every day she comes running to me knowing that I’m a softy and will always stop to love on her and give her treats. I love this little cutie and I’m so glad she is here with us. This is why Ember Rose is the Resident of the Month!
