Moe, Hartley, and Harry

Fighting fit, full of personality, this trio of the sweetest little calves is sure to melt your heart.

Moe, Hartley, and Harry were born into this world as the byproduct of their mother’s milk production – their life worth nothing more. Male calves are often “disposed of” on dairy farms or sent on a truck to a slaughterhouse within the first few weeks of their life, as they offer little financial gain to a farmer since they cannot be used for future breeding or milk production. This is the heartbreaking reality thousands of calves face each day on dairy farms across Australia.

Moe, Hartley, and Harry were rescued with two other calves. Heartbreakingly, this group was in poor condition. Our Foster Carer reported, “𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 – 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺. 𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥.”

In the dairy industry, calves are often taken from their mothers within mere days of their birth so that their mother can get back to milk production. The milk that is meant for them is taken and sold to humans as a commodity. This separation is not only traumatic to their mental wellbeing but also their physical wellbeing as they are unable to receive the vital nutrients from their mothers’ milk.

Moe, the smallest of the group, suddenly began to deteriorate. After vet intervention, he improved for a few days, only to begin to deteriorate again. It was concluded he had a very severe case of Ileus, Cryptoridium, and his left lung had pneumonia. This little boy was fighting multiple life-threatening illnesses. As the weeks passed by, Moe’s condition began to improve and he soon returned home for quarantine before he was reunited with his foster brothers. A moment so precious it brought tears to our team’s eyes.

Now all healthy and feeling cared for, Moe, Hartley, and Harry are ready to find their forever home where they will be loved as companions, not commodities.
