Hi,
I am reaching out to all friends of animals and asking for your help in saving 3 sweet cows.
I just found out that the 3 cows who graze on our land were scheduled to be slaughtered today. :( We asked the owner if he would consider selling the cows to us instead. He has agreed to that, but would need the money ($3600) in full in just 2 weeks.
We were hoping that he would take payments - and that would give us enough time to put a fundraiser together, but he wasn't willing to do that. We're just happy that he's given us a 2-week extension.
We have named them Pooka Cow (the brown one), Spotty Friend, and Less Spotty Friend. (I have posted a pic on my profile page.)
I am reaching out to you all and asking for help-mainly through donations. Also through networking and getting the word out to everyone you know. I just can't imagine not raising this money in time-they are only 2 years old and have many more years of happy lives to live.
The first step is to raise enough money to save them from being slaughtered.

100% of your donation will go toward saving these cows. Our first priority is to raise enough money to save them from being killed. After that, we will focus on raising money to take care of them.
We've been asked where the cows will go if we do raise enough money to save them - they will stay here, at least for the short term. We have 11 acres of land, a barn, and a stream. We are planning to create a line of products where all of the profits will go toward their care (hay, vet bills, fence mending, etc.) If we can find a loving family with enough land to adopt them, we are definitely open to that as well. :)
Thanks so much, you guys!
Jodi
