Beautiful Bella was raised as a 4-H cow, but as she aged she became too big for her owner to care for. Her owner did not want Bella to be sold for slaughter, as many 4-H cows are, so they tried several different times to find her a new home. Her owners brought her to several milking farms, but she was only able to birth one calf and did not produce enough milk. None of these farms wanted to keep her if she was unable to produce enough milk to be profitable. 

Bella’s owners contacted Popcorn Park to see if we could take her. In September 2016, Bella arrived at the Refuge and we welcomed her with open arms.  Finally, Bella was able to live a quiet, carefree life without worrying about her fate.

Today, Bella enjoys life in our barnyard and though she is happy to hold company with our Alpaca’s, she loves human companionship the best. She is extremely friendly with the staff and very curious, always wanting to know what everyone is up to. She even gives hugs, wrapping her head around you as she happily accepts head scratches and affection. 

Her sweet demeanor never fails to make us smile and we could not be happier to have Bella in our care!

Bella is curious about you, too! Are you looking for a new four-legged friend? We hope you will consider sponsoring her today!
