Meet the TPF Cows
Buttercup and Minnie Pearl- the girls that started it all. These girls came to live with us in 2022 as bottle babies from a local farm. They are so incredibly sweet and love attention. They are safe with us for the rest of their lives! Buttercup is a Jersey x Milking shorthorn and MP is a Jersey.
Buttercup came to us in 2022 from a neglect case. This guy posted on a farm page in desperate need of help. His farm was full of animals and he said he had no water or money to help them. A friend and I hooked up the trailer and headed to Roxboro to get as many as we could. We left with Buttercup, an emaciated Jersey cow, her son Frank, a few goats (friend took) and Gary the goose. Buttercup is a wonderful girl that enjoys being the herd leader. She is an older girl. She takes care of all of the other ones and is a wonderful gal. She will live on our farm for the remainder of her life.
Frank is Buttercup's son and came to us when he was about 6-8 months old. He was WILD when he came and is now a sweet sweet boy. He loves to have his chin scratched and is the big brother to all the other cows. He is a gentle giant and even allows Jeremi to lay with him while relaxing in the pasture. Frank is a Jersey steer. He will live on our farm for the remainder of his life.
Susan (left) and Beauregard (right) came to us summer 2024. Both of their moms died after birth and they needed a soft place to land. They are both pretty wild but Beau is letting me scratch his head now. Susan is an Angus x Jersey cross. Beau is a Jersey x Gyr cross. Beau has been steered. They will live on our farm for the remainder of their life.
Rory isn't technically a rescue other than he was removed from the auction/cow sales pipeline and will never been eaten. Rory is a highland steer. He came to us so wild he climbed the walls to escape. He will now accept head scratches from a few select people and will eat from our hand. He is about 3-4 years old now. He will live on our farm for the remainder of his life. Rory has to be shaved every summer because he can't handle our heat.
