Adopt a Cow

Our ‘Adopt a Cow’ option is for those who would like to contribute to the ongoing maintenance and health of an individual cow. The cost for this will vary from farm to farm or sanctuary depending on factors such as the number of winter months the cows need to eat hay, and whether caretakers are volunteers or paid workers. The average cost for maintaining one cow is calculated to be $300 per month.

If you select this option you will receive photos and updates about the cow(s) being cared for in your name.

If you are interested in sponsoring one or more cows in this way, please select the name of the cow and you can set up an automatic monthly donation for the cow(s) you would like to adopt.

As The Cows Foundation expands we will have an expanding family of cows from many different farms and sanctuaries to adopt. Here are a few cows who would like to meet you.3

Little Man

Little Man is sweet, kind, curious, and loving.  His favorite treats are apples. His birth was a bit of a challenge for his mother, being her first calf, but he arrived into the arms of Wayne, the cowherd, and they have been close friends ever since. Wayne named him Little Man.  He was the youngest of the herd for some time, and when Lisabella arrived, Little Man was fascinated as it was the first time he had seen a small calf.  He wanted to always be close to her and is so gentle and kind with her. Lisabella is Little Man’s cousin, their mothers are sisters ! Whenever Lisabella does her morning runs across the pasture, Little Man is with her trying to keep up. 

Dhanya

Dhanya is the daughter of Priya, the star of the book Through the Eyes of Priya. She gave birth to her first calf, Lisabella, in August 2021, and is a great mother – so loving and protective.  It’s beautiful to see them walking side by side to the pasture, Dhanya gently mooing to guide her. The love that flows between them is tangible. Dhanya has a silence about her and is harmonious with all the other cows, sometimes leaving Lisabella in the care of one of the older cows so she can go off and graze.

Priya

Priya is the star of a delightful book titled “Through the Eyes of Priya”. Priya is very dear, which is the meaning of her name. Priya was rescued before she was “shipped off” because one of her teats is damaged. She entered her new herd as the smallest and without the horns everyone else had, but soon became their leader. She knows what she wants and is also kind.

Neelesh

Neelesh is Chotis son and a very royal, kind, and peaceful boy who loves his mother and three half sisters and is gentle to those who care for him.

Hi, I’m Tulsi!
I love living in the cow sanctuary. I get along with everyone, though at times I can be a little bossy. I hang out with my mellow younger brother, Hemakesha. Most of all, I love when the straw bales arrive. I never miss an opportunity to play with them or help the cowherd spread the straw bedding in the winter.

Jubilee

Hi, I’m Keshavi’s daughter, Jubilee. My mom and I love spending our days in the pasture, grazing and resting together. Grazing is the best! My home is very peaceful and a wonderful place to live. It’s so nice to be around people who wish the best for me. Although I have no siblings or offspring, I feel well loved and a part of this big harmonious family.

Sharanagati

I live at Govinda Goshala Cow Haven in Belfast, New York where I came to live as a newborn calf. I discovered that my grandmother was already living here and my first assignment was to drink as much of her milk as I could. You can bet I loved this job! Now I’m 11 years old and I help take care of all the other baby cows.
