Adoption information
About Zillie and Yandi
Meet Yandi and Zillie, two gentle young calves looking for a loving home together. Rescued from a dairy farm, these best friends have been side by side since birth and are now weaned from milk.
Yandi is the more confident of the pair, happily going with the flow of daily life. Curious and gentle, he will often wander over to lick your hand — he is becoming more comfortable with pats each day. He enjoys meeting people but prefers a calm, patient approach that allows him to come to you in his own time.
Zillie is the quieter half of the duo. He likes to watch from a distance before deciding it's safe to join in, often waiting for Yandi to take the first step. Once he feels comfortable, he happily accepts gentle pats and enjoys being part of the group. With a kind and patient person to help build his confidence, Zillie will continue to blossom.
Together, Yandi and Zillie love spending their days grazing before breaking into playful afternoon zoomies. They share a beautiful bond and would love to continue their journey side by side. They have previously lived with other calves without any issues and have also been around goats and chickens.
If you're looking for two sweet-natured boys who will reward your patience with trust, affection, and plenty of playful moments, Yandi and Zillie could be the perfect addition to your family.
If you have the space, pasture and love to give Yandi and Zillie a loving home, please send an inquiry to contact us and start your adoption journey today.
By opening your home to Yandi and Zillie, not only do you gain the joy of adding companions to your life, but your decision to adopt also has a life-changing impact on the lives of other calves. For every calf adopted, another can be rescued.
