Holy and Madonna

Ellen and Portia DeGeneres' Adopted Cows

Madonna and Holy were rescued from the dairy industry where they were taken away form their moms at birth. Holy was stomped so she could not walk and Madonna was chained so she could not walk. Both were sent to slaughter when they were 8 weeks old but by the time they got to auction they were both too sick to stand. We took them home to The Gentle Barn and worked tirelessly, round the clock for months to save them. We gave them algae super food to boost their immune systems, excellent vet care for their pneumonia, skin fungus and eye infections, and lots of TLC to give them something to live for. We also gave Holy chiropractic to straighten her crooked, broken spine. It took several months, but they are now big, healthy and happy and their favorite thing to do is lie in our laps. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi named them and talk about them often on The Ellen Show as their adopted cow babies.
