2022 saw the arrival of a new calf, saving of two beautiful cows from possible slaughter, and the building of a new barn for the cows. We lost Gauri cow this year. She was tolerant and humble. She was at the bottom of the herd’s food chain which means that Gauri had to wait for permission from the others before she was allowed to join them at the feed trough. She seemed to understand and accept her position.
Year Highlights: Surabhi’s New Calf Mohini
Early morning August 18, 2022 Surabhi cow went to a remote part of the forest to deliver her baby girl. Calf and mother are healthy and happy.
New Gir at Goshala
2 gir cows arrived to Ahimsa Goshala from a small farm in BC. They needed a home, or they might end up being sold for slaughter. Welcome to Varuni and Revati. They were restless and confused at first, but they quickly realized they had arrived in a wonderful new home. Our original Gir cow, Surabhi, is in ecstasy that she will be graced with the association of two new friends who belong to practically the same family lineage.
New Barn
The devotees built an additional bar using cob and straw insulation. The new barn houses all 9 cows and ox.
