I love seeing the young boy, so eager to help the cows. His compassion remains in tact and has never been forced out of him. What a true blessing. Thanks for all you do for these wonderful cows. It especially made me happy to see them running happily free--and then in those pics minus those wretched tags on their heads!
Yes, children in the beginning have a natural love for animals. Then depending on the culture they are brought up in that natural compassion becomes encouraged or forgotten.
Akira...rhe real trick is that people change their eating habits and stop eating meat. The demand for the continuation of beef consumption has to stop and then the meat industry will have to shut down. Until then there are calves and cows to be rescued and given better lives.Thank you for your concern.

Yes, it is unfortunate. Only these babies were being auctioned, not their mothers. They were only a few days old, some taken from their mothers immediately after being born.
Bless you for setting these 8 innocent little souls free and saving them from an untimely death . When will people ever learn that every little life counts and deserves to live in freedom and free of fear and pain and does not want to end up on humanities dinner plates .
People will learn that when they put the so called pleasures of their tongues after the happiness of the animals. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please help us help more cows by sharing and subscribing at th-cam.com/users/ISCOWP108.
How could people mistreat and torture something so beautiful amd innocent . God bless these people for doing good . It sad because th mothers are probably devasted for their babies
The appetite for money, meat and dairy clouds whatever sense of compassion there might have been. Mother cow continually suffers to supply dairy and meat to humans. Less suffering for mother cows when we change our diets to plant-based!
Hare Krishna.. I think you guys are truly amazing.. Cow charity is the best thing a human can do.. Rescuing cows and looking after them. it's truly wonderful. I espire to have a cow santuary some day soon. Hare Krishna

@@ISCOWP108 yeah, All cow lovers please watch this cute video will make your day👇 th-cam.com/video/7GbYyqMN2Ss/w-d-xo.html I watch this video whenever I want to do something for saving cows.but not able to do something for cows and when I miss cow mother . And when I remember my best moment with cow...Like this
really sad how they put number tags on them as if they are disposable commodity. humans are truly a sad group of species but its people like you that make me have hope for mankind. thank you i will always donate to your sanctuary!
It takes more than one star and you are also a star. By not eating meat you are lessening the demand for meat and thus lessening the torture of animals.
Amazing! They seem so happy, to run free for the first time in their precious lives. They know they are safe. Thank you so much for saving these beautiful babies! Vegan for life too, Compassion has to be the future xxxx
Yes, Clare C they are happy campers. They are so fired up to experience a life of freedom so they can run and relish different grasses and herbs in their 57 acres of pasturing grounds. Every day it is so fulfilling to see them happy and content. Compassion is a must for this world to survive.
Yes, we have noticed that they develop strong relationships with each other. Often the older cows take on a protective motherly relationship with the younger ones.
If they have not been mistreated they are friendly. Often if they have been mistreated they will not be friendly for they have a fear of what may happen to them at the hands of a human.
God bless u. After watching this video and a couple others, i decided to be Vegan. Its been 2 weeks and its not as hard as i thought. Thank u for your continual love and compassion for these sweet and gentle beings. xxxooo

At Sale Barns, it is not uncommon to see young calves for sale who are just a couple of days old with a length of umbilical cord still attached to the navel of the baby calf.
Dear Ekayani, Hare Krishna! We have been invited to attend the Religions for the Earth conference which will be taking place Sep 19-21 at Union Theological Seminary in NYC. The conference is a gathering of nearly 200 faith-based climate teachers/activists which will be in conjunction with the People's Climate March on Sep 21 in NYC which we are also attending. I would say on the 21 later in the day and the whole day 22 and 23 are open for us at this time. On the evening of the 23 we are giving a presentation at the Bhakti Center. We were wondering if we could contribute to your group in any way during our stay there in NYC. We are leaving on the morning of the 23. It would also be great just to meet. Please let us know if we can be of any service. Your servant, Chayadevi
Their intelligence varies from animal to animal. Just like humans. But they can be trained to follow voice commands. Just take a look at our Ox and Teamster Training Playlist th-cam.com/play/PL7D27A318B82D6D36.html
Cute it is, but it would have been so much for the babies to have been able to drink milk from their mothers. They did not have that chance since they were taken from their mothers early in life to be sold for meat.
Sorry you didn't like the music but glad you found the calves cute. We have been trying to not use music or us it in a limited way in our more recent videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good day Miriam. In the video of the eight calves being rescued. I was very shocked to see little girl calves there going up for sale. Generally, there are only bull calves because they will not produce milk. Two of the little girl calves were very energetic and running all over their holding pen. and their numbers were just one digit different. The thought that came to mind was that they were twins and when there are twin girls they are usually sterile or what is called "Free Martin" and would never produce calves or milk., hence they would bring no profit to a commercial dairy farmer. The third little girl calf had a huge forehead and it looked like she had a "Cone Head". There is a name for this disorder and in lay terms, it means that she had water on the brain. She was so pretty and we just had to get her and take her home to give her a protected life.
Regarding your point about breeding. There are literally millions of cows, not just in this country, but worldwide who are being murdered daily. who need to be taken out of their hellish lives as exploitive slaves. For us to be breeding when someone can be rescued is hard for us to fathom. We have had this discussion with many different people from many different walks of life and the answer has always been the same...rescue. I had this conversation with a man in India and he was adamant to breed every female cow so she could have the experience of motherhood. I asked him if that were the case would he help to support those cows and calves. He said NO and the conversation ended as he was not willing to give protection to those cows and their babies. I have seen cows being engaged as nurse cows to calves who had been abandoned and it is very heartening to see as the calf is the one benefiting. But unfortunately, it was in a commercial dairy and the end result, the fate, of the life of the nurse cow and the calf was already handwriting on the wall...they will both be exploited and murdered in due course of time
Miriam, regarding being true Vegans. Have you ever met a man named Howard Lyman? If you ever have a chance to meet him and hear his story take the time to hear him speak. I had the chance to meet him and hear his story back in 1995 at a place where he was speaking.If my memory serves me correctly he was the sixth generation beef rancher in his family when he had a medical crisis in his life and had a spiritual epiphany and quiet the beef business and became a vegan and a humble voice for the vegan movement. By the way, my wife and I have both been vegetarians since 1969 and have followed a vegan diet for many years. This is a spiritual journey of love and compassion for us, not just a fashion statement because it seems like the cool thing to do. Please notice when I mentioned Howard Lyman, I used the word HEAR instead of LISTEN. Hearing and listening are two different activities. One can listen but not hear. He is a true inspiration to many people who have heard him speak and filled their lives with compassion for the animals and planet.
MIRIAM, over the course of 29 years we have rescued close to 50 cows, oxen, and calves. We have never sold a single animal once they were in our care. The oxen we have trained were never sold but remained with us to train other people who wanted to have a small homestead and did not want to get involved with tractors and fossil fuels either for a fuel source or as petrochemical fertilizers You say that we "Force Train" them and then exploit them as field machines. Over the years I have been approached by many vegans with this narrative. It goes something like this..."You put a piece of wood on their necks and make them work". In fact when these oxen can weigh as much as 2500 lbs. each if one is using Brown Swiss or Holstein as the breed to work with, there is no question of me making them do anything they do not want to do. At this point, I ask them if they are Vegans and they have always said yes. I then ask them if they buy all of their fruits, vegetables, and grains in the market and they all have said yes. And I ask them if it would be safe to say that all of their foodstuffs came from farms that were using tractors to work the fields to grow these crops...and the answer has always been yes. At this point, I ask them if we could discuss the word and concept of EXPLOITATION and they always said Sure. I will continue this thread later as its time I prepared lunch for the family. Sincerly, William
I'm confused as to what you'll do with the heifer calves once they reach sexual maturity at 14/16 months old when they start coming into oestrus will they be bred or if not how will you stop them from breaking into a neighbouring bull etc. Will you go through the lengthy procedure of spaying them? And I'm assuming the male calves are castrated?
We do not spay the females. We have mature females and they are not trying to break the fences. Maybe the neighbor's bull is not so attractive? With the males we do bloodless castration which involves a pinching of the tubes. There is no cutting and all body parts are intact but they can not impregnate.
send me 6 month old too year old and I will use them for oxen . I only need 2 or 3 . light happy work for long life and keep my pastures eat down . up in nny .
cowpoke02 Great to hear you show the usefulness of the male cows (oxen). We don't give away our cows or sell them. But you may be able to find those who do on the Facebook page All About Oxen.
These calves were being sold at an auction barn for the price of meat. We brought them home to live a life where they will never be sold for meat and they will live out their natural lives. At the auction barn they put numbers on them and their number is their identity when they are being sold. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I am happy to hear this.. I have been vegan 9 yrs.It hurts my heart when animals are exploited and not taken care of properly during the time when they suffer.With no voices to defend themselves.This animal cruelty can never stop without man putting down his knife and eat food thats right for his bodies biology.Thank you for the respect you give to these beautiful bovines .
Debbie the pet lady...we had just gotten back from the auction barn and had not had a chance yet to remove the tags. They are glued on at the auction barn and it is a bit difficult to remove them as it is painful for the calves. Within a day or two with gentle coaxing they are removed with minimal hair loss
I have heard all rescued livestock must keep numbers.Maybe its a law in England..An animal sanctuary I follow in England was not able to take the numbers off.
how to do cruel to these animals....the dairy farming and the slaughter house... theirmind was full of profit minded. no humanity....they select the workers also like them.....the workers can treat them well with kind atleast till they die.... they will not lead a good life till death... they can earn more money...but more than one thats god love... that gift they will not get in their life ...instead their above 40's they will suffer in a uncurable disease what money cant buy....their families will lead to accident...this my curse to the workers in dairyfarming and the slaughter house
You don't need to curse them. It is the law of nature, for every action there is a reaction. Cruel acts bring bad karma to the doer. It is just a matter of time. Sometimes it seems the bad karma does not comes quick enough, but it does come.
Uh what? Cows naturally breed once a year anyways and it also takes some pressure off of the cow carrying the milk around by milking her. A lot of dairy farms nowadays have a voluntary milking system, which allows the cow to get milked whenever she wants. All she has to do is walk in. Cows are milked at about two years old, just for your info. They are full-size then. And also, when a cow dries up, she gets a two month break. Any calf requires "real" nourishment too. When the calves are newborn you have to give them their mothers milk, known as colostrum in this stage. It is very important for their growth.
Yes. That is why it is best not to eat meat and diary products. Please help us help more cows by sharing and subscribing at th-cam.com/users/ISCOWP108.
im a vegetarian . seeing that chickens and fish being killed is not that bad though pure veg is always better but seeing innocent beings like cows ox n others being killed for food is very disheartening . its the greedy meat industry that does not want to stop . as meat in any way is not good but meat of such animals is very bad for health .
+JONĀS chicken may be but fish is better though harmful .but less harmful compared to cattle meat . still what you say is correct . better to not consume any meat because if one does not eat then the mind becomes more peaceful , person feels less angry and increases the happiness factor . :)
I think it's ok to eat meat occasionally but I also believe these animals should live a comfortable life. By that I mean free to run around in a pasture instead of being caged up and then killed humanely and quickly instead of painfully.
Concern that the animals you eat have lived a decent life and have been killed humanely is definitely a step up from just eating them without any concern for them. But sometimes don't you ever question why they have to be killed at all so you can eat them?
Susan Best there’s no such thing as humane slaughter because they want to live , when they are at the slaughter house they know they will die and panic , stop eating meat and then you won’t have to think about it you can live guilt free
We grew up with cows and they are the most gentle animals...
Lucky you and thanks for sharing your experience.
Susan McGraw Keber I like cows more than horses.
Gentle also means tender meat.
Pro trick: watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

I'm confused as to what you'll do with the heifer calves once they reach sexual maturity at 14/16 months old when they start coming into oestrus will they be bred or if not how will you stop them from breaking into a neighbouring bull etc. Will you go through the lengthy procedure of spaying them? And I'm assuming the male calves are castrated?
We do not spay the females. We have mature females and they are not trying to break the fences. Maybe the neighbor's bull is not so attractive? With the males we do bloodless castration which involves a pinching of the tubes. There is no cutting and all body parts are intact but they can not impregnate.
Awsome 👏👏👏👏❤️👏👏👏👏
That seems like a good system to have, do you keep all of the cows for life or do you loan them to farms to graze down pasture or as companions?
are they weaned?
They were all taken from their mothers at an early age to be sold at the auction barn.
send me 6 month old too year old and I will use them for oxen . I only need 2 or 3 . light happy work for long life and keep my pastures eat down . up in nny .
cowpoke02 Great to hear you show the usefulness of the male cows (oxen). We don't give away our cows or sell them. But you may be able to find those who do on the Facebook page All About Oxen.
They want mom
Yes. Some of them still had their umbilical cord hanging from their stomachs.
👍
Thanks for watching!
What does this mean come home? Why do they have numbers on them?
These calves were being sold at an auction barn for the price of meat. We brought them home to live a life where they will never be sold for meat and they will live out their natural lives. At the auction barn they put numbers on them and their number is their identity when they are being sold.

.
They don’t want to come out
This was the first stop after leaving the auction barn. They did not know where they were and if they would be facing danger.
Are all guys on the farm vegans? How does your farm exist? No milk, no eggs and no meat of any animal? Only grain, vegetables or what?
Yes, we are all vegans. Our farm is primarily a sanctuary for rescued cows and is supported by donations.

Hare Rama!
JUST DONT KNOW WHY YOU DIDNT TAKE THE NUMBER TAGS OFF HOPE THIS IS REALLY RESCUE POOR COWS THEY GET THE WORST TREATMENT SO DAM MANKIND CAN EAT
Debbie the pet lady...we had just gotten back from the auction barn and had not had a chance yet to remove the tags. They are glued on at the auction barn and it is a bit difficult to remove them as it is painful for the calves. Within a day or two with gentle coaxing they are removed with minimal hair loss
I have heard all rescued livestock must keep numbers.Maybe its a law in England..An animal sanctuary I follow in England was not able to take the numbers off.
Say no to diary!!
Go plant-based!
ISCOWP108 I’m vegan ☺️
Thought so. So are we.
O Humans where are our Mothers..😢😢😢......I hate humans ..😡😡😡😡😡
Yes, where are our Mothers? That's the bottom line.
how to do cruel to these animals....the dairy farming and the slaughter house... theirmind was full of profit minded. no humanity....they select the workers also like them.....the workers can treat them well with kind atleast till they die.... they will not lead a good life till death... they can earn more money...but more than one thats god love... that gift they will not get in their life ...instead their above 40's they will suffer in a uncurable disease what money cant buy....their families will lead to accident...this my curse to the workers in dairyfarming and the slaughter house
You don't need to curse them. It is the law of nature, for every action there is a reaction. Cruel acts bring bad karma to the doer. It is just a matter of time. Sometimes it seems the bad karma does not comes quick enough, but it does come.
The wheel of Karma turns and turns...what comes down goes around...the laws of nature are absolute
ISCOWP108 let my curse also give hands to that karma.
The karma of a meat eater is a sick smelly dying body ...the workers PTSD...all suffer because the animals suffer.
what do you feed the calves?
They don't have a nursing cow I presume, and certainly one that can feed 8 calves, so they have to bottle feed the babyies themselves
Uh what? Cows naturally breed once a year anyways and it also takes some pressure off of the cow carrying the milk around by milking her. A lot of dairy farms nowadays have a voluntary milking system, which allows the cow to get milked whenever she wants. All she has to do is walk in. Cows are milked at about two years old, just for your info. They are full-size then. And also, when a cow dries up, she gets a two month break. Any calf requires "real" nourishment too. When the calves are newborn you have to give them their mothers milk, known as colostrum in this stage. It is very important for their growth.
VEGAN FOREVER SWEET LITTLE BABIES
Our appreciation and congratulations to you for being vegan and having compassion for these "sweet little babies."
Jay sri ram
May Lord Krishna bless all cows so they may live peacefully away from the slaughterhouse.
Beautiful video. But music horrible had to mute it
Thanks for your input. Glad you liked the video despite not liking the music.
The video itself is beautiful but the music is so horrible and annoying so I could'nt watch,
your comment is annoying.
I ❤ the 🎶
this is unbearable D:
Yes. That is why it is best not to eat meat and diary products. Please help us help more cows by sharing and subscribing at th-cam.com/users/ISCOWP108.
I used to eat beef and eat dairy but after finding out about the veal and exploitation of these lovely creatures I turned vegan 🌱
Congratulations!
ISCOWP108 thank you I’ve also been an influence on my dad to be as vegan as possible!
im a vegetarian . seeing that chickens and fish being killed is not that bad though pure veg is always better but seeing innocent beings like cows ox n others being killed for food is very disheartening . its the greedy meat industry that does not want to stop . as meat in any way is not good but meat of such animals is very bad for health .
Congratulations on your diet choice!
+ISCOWP108 thanks . here in india govn is trying n ready to ban cow slaughter but ppl object esp muslims so we hope things change .
Chicken and fish are just as bad.
+JONĀS chicken may be but fish is better though harmful .but less harmful compared to cattle meat . still what you say is correct . better to not consume any meat because if one does not eat then the mind becomes more peaceful , person feels less angry and increases the happiness factor . :)
+Shash that I noticed too :) just seeing the rest of the world not seeing what I see makes me upset every now and then 🙃😄
I see dinner!!!!!
Xiomi nanda They are talking about animal farming. Look into it. Animals are raised and killed horribly. Of course they dont have grass.

Thanks for the feedback.
I think it's ok to eat meat occasionally but I also believe these animals should live a comfortable life. By that I mean free to run around in a pasture instead of being caged up and then killed humanely and quickly instead of painfully.
Concern that the animals you eat have lived a decent life and have been killed humanely is definitely a step up from just eating them without any concern for them. But sometimes don't you ever question why they have to be killed at all so you can eat them?
Susan Best there’s no such thing as humane slaughter because they want to live , when they are at the slaughter house they know they will die and panic , stop eating meat and then you won’t have to think about it you can live guilt free

Haribol!
