Cow Sponsorship

Cow sponsorship starts from as little as £3 a month. Our cow sponsorship pack comprises of certificate of sponsorship, photo of you cow, fridge magnet and stickers, and we start sending you our regular e-newsletter. Donations of any size are of course most welcome, but please note for reasons of cost, packs are sent only to those sponsoring a cow for £3/month or more, or to those making a donation of £36 or more (£36 being equivalent to 1 year sponsorship @ £3/month).

Sponsorship as a gift: If you wish to sponsor a cow as a gift for someone else please first select your cow and follow the sponsor me link on the next page to set up your direct debit/make a card payment in your own name.  Then, in the thank you / confirmation email you’ll receive from us, follow the sponsorship-as-gift link to a form where you can tell us the name of that person, details of where to send, when you need it sent by, etc.

Bluebell

This is not a cow with a simple personality. She can be distant from people and often rude to other cows. When you look at her, you get the impression that she feels best only in her own company.

Buttercup

Buttercup is a cow with a complex and strong personality. She has no problems with setting boundaries and clearly communicating what she likes and what she doesn’t like. She definitely loves being brushed, but she chooses who can do it. She doesn’t like hugs that are too familiar and when someone touches her face. When it relaxes, it often makes loud sounds of contentment. She was born in 2012. Her mother is Violet. {{ vc_btn:…

Cocoa

Cocoa, oh this cow, she has character. She was such a sweet calf and now she is a terror in the herd. He has great ambitions to be a leader. There is also no desire for close contact with people. It is she who decides how much she is ready to invest in relationships with people, and it is not too much. Her brave stance and sharp horns effectively keep us at a distance. But…

Cowslip

I am Cowslip, daughter of Darlia and mother to Bimba and Harry.

Florence

Florence is a walking beauty. She is a balanced, calm cow. She is loving snack she gets at milking time . Whenever we let her in for milking she practically runs inside.

Gautam

DOB: 10/3/2011 My name is Gautam, which means remover of darkness. It was also the name of the Buddha.

I am being trained as a working ox and together with my yoke-mate have been getting used to our driver giving us friendly…

La Rouge

Before she joined our family, La Rouge was part of a herd of cows destined for slaughter. She had no close and positive experience with people. That’s why it took her a long time to trust us and allow us to have any close contact with her. We are gradually winning her heart and we are completely captivated by her sweet nature {{ vc_btn: title=Sponsor+Me&css=&link=url%3Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fcafdonate.cafonline.org%252F25960 }}

Manisita

Rainbow

Rainbow has always been delicate and sensitive. Unfortunately, because of this, she was pushed to the bottom of the herarchy and often bullied by other cows. These bad experiences have also made her distrustful of people, but gradually, step by step, our relationships are getting better. In 2023, she became a mother for the first time. She has a son, Bhime, who is beautiful and delicate like her. She completely fell in love with him…

Their respective daughters are Rockstar and Hot Raisins. {{ vc_btn: title=Sponsor+Me&css=&link=url%3Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fcafdonate.cafonline.org%252F6939 }}
