Adoption information
About Ainsley and Ridley
Ainsley and Ridley were rescued from the heartbreaking fate that most male calves born on dairy farms face: the “bobby” truck.
Meet Ainsley and Ridley, a charming pair of calves, each with their own special personality.
Ainsley, the more outgoing of the two, is full of confidence and spirit. Since arriving, he’s eagerly embraced his new surroundings, following the other calves to explore and play. His gentle yet confident manner makes him a lovely mate, especially to Ridley, who’s a bit more reserved and still trying to get to grips with the big, wild world.
Ainsley's favourite time of day is when he gets his milk, a comfort that gives him energy. He also loves receiving fuss and affection, which he returns with plenty of calf cuddles. As a big brother figure, Ainsley guides Ridley with his confidence, sharing his favourite pellets and hay, and encouraging Ridley's curiosity for new tastes and experiences.
Ridley, on the other hand, is a shy but curious little calf. While he's still getting used to the milk routine, his keen interest in pellets and hay shows he's eager to explore and learn. With Ainsley by his side, Ridley will gradually grow in confidence, and with time, he’s bound to flourish in a caring, supportive environment filled with love.
Together, Ainsley and Ridley make a delightful duo, full of potential and heart. They thrive on companionship, both from bovines and humans, and would suit a forever farm willing to nurture their development and celebrate their milestones. If you’re after a pair to add charm and joy to your paddock, think about opening your heart and home to Ainsley and Ridley.
