Willow, Xyris, and Zephyr

From a challenging start to a bright future ✨

In the dairy industry, male calves are often seen as surplus and tragically considered ‘waste products.’ Unable to produce milk, they are viewed as economically nonviable and face a horrific fate. Many farmers, overwhelmed with the number of animals they rear, including female calves, find themselves unable to provide the extra care needed, leading to the culling of these innocent lives.

At ‘Til The Cows Come Home, we offer a compassionate alternative, providing these calves the chance to live a full and happy life. This trio of calves, Willow, Xyris, and Zephyr, are among the lucky ones who have found refuge with us. Their unique personalities and charms have led them to form a close-knit bond, making them a delightful group.

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰, the tiniest of the trio, is full of spirit and mischief. Despite her small size, she has a big personality, always eager to run around and encourage her bigger brothers to join in her playful antics. Willow adores a good head scratch, especially during milk feeds, and her affectionate nature shines through these moments.

𝐗𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐬, a little Jersey calf, is initially reserved but blossoms in the company of his friends. He looks up to Zephyr, following his lead and gaining confidence from his example. Xyris may be shy, but his gentle nature makes him incredibly endearing. With the right home, he is sure to flourish even more.

With his impressive big ears and charismatic demeanour, 𝐙𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐫 is the group leader. He is exceptionally social and enjoys interacting with everyone he meets. Zephyr’s intelligence is evident in how quickly he has learned the feeding routine, showing promise for further training that will make handling him a breeze. His vibrant personality ensures he is always the centre of attention.
