Dale

Dale had been haltered and tied to a floorboard in a small pen, located just outside of a chicken plant in Southern California. Dale's overgrown hooves made it difficult for him to move around in what little space he had. He was starving, sick, and covered in flies — and even though cows are herd animals, he was left alone. Dale is a Jersey — a breed typically used in dairy production — and since as a male, he would never produce milk, his owner felt that she had no use for him. Thankfully, a relative urged her to send Dale to a sanctuary, and she agreed to relinquish the 10-month-old bull if he was quickly taken off her hands. That's where Farm Sanctuary stepped in and rescued him before transferring him to Sage Mountain, where he would live out the rest of his life!

Dale enjoys exploring every chance he gets, drinking straight from the water hose and saying hi to his human friends when they're around.
