After escaping a New York dairy farm, she spent months in the woods, and kind locals asked us to come to the rescue. The search for Olive grew urgent when we were told she had likely given birth. Sadly, veterinarians had to make the humane decision to euthanize her calf, who suffered from painful, untreatable conditions. But Olive would face no more heartbreak. After six weeks of trying to secure the fearful cow, we brought Olive to Farm Sanctuary.

Here, Olive has blossomed into a joyful, confident cow who trusts and nuzzles up to her closest caregivers. She was calm and brave for her first hoof trimming, knowing she was in loving hands. The fastest way to Olive’s heart? Her favorite snack: apples! Since meeting her forever herd, Olive has many cattle friends, too. She’s closest to Nik and Savic, gentle giants who adore her. Olive happily grazes with friends, soaking up every moment of the freedom she once searched for.
