Most are sold for beef or veal, but Pietro had a severely broken leg, so the farmer couldn’t profit from him. This sweet little calf would have been killed before he’d even had a chance to live, but thankfully, a compassionate rescuer turned to us for his forever home.

At Farm Sanctuary, Pietro has grown into a happy guy whose joy brightens everyone’s day. A big grass puppy, Pietro loves noshing on his favorite snacks (apples and grains) and getting scratches, whether they’re from his human friends or from the big, spinning grooming brush that the cows like to use themselves. He chooses to spend much of his time with his herdmate and bestie, Greg, because Pietro is finally free to live and love.
