Birthday Fundraiser for Winter Food for Cows.
Donation protected
Hi I am Anthony Walsgott and I founded and have been running the Save A Cow Foundation (SACF) ( which is one of the largest cow sanctuaries in the world) for ten years and for my 54th birthday today I would like to dedicate and use my birthday to help eighty (80) SACF cow residents to get the much needed hay and other food for the autumn and fast approaching winter as the grass has all but gone and we will be hand feeding hay and other food to 80 cows across five of the SACF sanctuaries.
I am driving between SACF cow sanctuaries in South East Queensland, Australia, from Curra/Gympie/ Nambour (30 cow residents) to Wamuran (10 cow residents) to Glasshouse Mountains (13 cow residents) and Maleny (27 cow residents) distributing round bales of Rhodes grass hay and other grassy hay and pasture boost pellets as well as mowing grass from where I can find grass to feed fresh grass.
The weekly money to pay for the cost of 220 kg round bales ($100-$120 per bale) and small square bales of hay ($20 per bale), 20 kg bags of pasture boost pellets ($22 per bag) and bags of mineral supplements ($30 per bag) as well as the diesel to fuel the ute I am driving around in to deliver food between the sanctuaries is very high which is why I need help from the public to provide the necessary funds to help pay for food to feed the cow residents at these SACF cow sanctuaries above.
The picture above is me feeding one of the many bobby calves (named Valr) I have saved from dairies. Most bobby calves I physically picked up from various dairies who were going to kill the babies but agreed for me to pick them up before they were killed, but this photo is one of the calves of one of the pregnant mother cows I saved who were going to be sent to the slaughterhouse pregnant by the dairy, but because we saved the mother from the slaughterhouse the baby was saved and born on a SACF sanctuary. For the first time the mother and baby were able to be together but because the mother had been used up at the dairy for 'milk production' for human consumption instead of the milk naturally just been for her calf (and was made pregnant each year with her baby been taken off her each year) she was physically worn out by this final pregnancy so I had to assist her calf with hand milk feeding.
Cows are very peaceful and complex fellow animals who hurt no-one and have deep personal and social relationships with each other and are extremely emotional fellow animals who communicate their hearts and feelings openly with each other and to humans who are around. The SACF tries to respect the deep natures of cows by trying to let them live as natural lives as possible so been able to interact with each other and so enjoy their deep social connections. I have a deep respect and love for cows and have got to know and make deep personal friendships with many of the cow residents of the SACF.
The first challenge however is always the necessity to care for them physically and food during times of no grass growth as is the current situation is the biggest challenge and is why I am asking the public for help. When you help me you know all of the money goes to helping the cows and that the cows are going to live out their whole natural lives with a deep respect and love from myself.
Please help me help the cows! Thank you in gratitude!
