Winston
Winston was being transported for slaughter when he was five days old. He had been born at dairy farm but shortly after was being disposed of as dairy farms have no use for male calves. Farm Animal Rescue negotiated his surrender with the sale yard and Winston is now in his forever home at Farm …

Annie was accompanied by Joni, her closest friend in the world. They had …
