Sweet and Sassy Honey Turns 13!

November 10, 2020 by Chad -

Share with your friends!

Today, Honey Cow turns 13 years old! Here are a few facts about Honey!

Honey and her bovine family recently celebrated her second year here. Honey is one special bovine. Of the four cattle, she wears the sassiest of pants in the bunch.

If she feels the herd is moving to slow for her liking…

She is not afraid to pass everyone up and take the lead.

When caregivers go to serve the cattle hay, minerals, or any other treat, Honey is the one of the ones to first run up to them, but will also nudge you away for being anywhere near her and her food (it sort of reminds me of when petting a cat).

Though she is not the biggest in her group, her personality is far larger than most.

She arrived here two years ago with her daughter, Meredith.

She also arrived here with her friend, Betsy, whom she was featured with in a reality television show and was saved with from the dairy industry.

You can also sponsor Honey by becoming a Bovine Buddy to her!

Happy Birthday, Honey! We couldn’t imagine not knowing you!

    Happy Birthday Sweet and Sassy Honey!! So thrilled Farm Sanctuary came to your rescue and saved you (and yours) from your life in a dairy farm. Even better, CSNW became your second sanctuary home! Enjoy your lucky 13th year. Ask Chad to toss you an extra alpha cube or two from me. xoxo

    Something tells me that Honey, (with such an adorable face) has been watching & “studying” Jamie from slightly afar…Like just over the fences…Maybe she’s learning how to emulate “The Boss”…HaHa…

    For years I fostered dogs, & invariably, it was usually the “littlest” guys who had the most courage after they settled in, & usually their favorite thing to do seemed to be trying to encourage the BIG boys to chase them & play… : )

    Happy Birthday Miss Honey…Thankfully, you & your herd friends are living in such a perfect & safe (“forever”) home …I can just picture you & Betsy, Nutmeg & Meredith enjoying such a beautiful & peaceful life now among the breathtaking Cle Elum Mountains, the gorgeous pine forests & healthy, fresh air…

    BTW, have you started studying & emulating the “Boss Lady” you see just across the fences…HaHa

    Honey is so cute, I love her ears that that darker thatch of hair on the top of her head.
