#HappyMothersDay! ❤️ Today, we’d like to sho #HappyMothersDay! ❤️ Today, we’d like to show some extra love to the queen of all queens—Rowdy Girl! 👑 Before the sanctuary was founded, Renee purchased Rowdy Girl, an orphaned calf, for $300 from a rancher up the road at Tommy's urging with hopes of coercing her to get more involved in the cattle ranch. Renee bottle-fed Rowdy Girl and she became the conduit that allowed Renee to see all the other cows as sentient beings. 🐮Rowdy Girl was Renee's vegan advocate and the catalyst for Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. Rowdy Girl went on to have four babies of her own—Lucky, Houdini, Stella, and Magic. One of Rowdy’s calves, Houdini, escaped so many times that Renee’s husband told her they would have to sell her. Renee refused. She had already gone vegan by that time, and she thought about finding a new home for Rowdy and Houdini at a farm sanctuary, but her heart kept telling her that what she really wanted was to convert the ranch into her own farm sanctuary and save all the cattle in her husband’s herd, as well as other farm animals in need. She would call it Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. And on February 20th, 2015, Renee founded her own non-profit. She considers Rowdy Girl her own daughter and Rowdy Girl’s babies, her grandchildren. “Rowdy Girl is the reason I’m here today doing the work I do. It’s so crazy—a cow changed the course of my life. She is the source of my destiny.” - Renee You can help us say #HappyMothersDay to Rowdy Girl by sponsoring her in our Adopt an Animal program TODAY! Click the 🔗 in our bio to check it out.

The little diddy I wrote for Herman (our first res The little diddy I wrote for Herman (our first rescue after becoming a sanctuary) . Herman was scheduled to be executed when we got him (see photos and story next post over) This recording is dedicated to Herman and all animals that are in kill shelters, lines and slaughter houses- they all have souls - they all have a story that ends in tragic and premature death! We see you! I will never stop being their voice! And even though temporarily I will be silenced because of my jaw surgery- I will count on all of you to be my voice! #rallyforrowdy Contact @smasherbrown and @weareimpactors if you want to coordinate a Rowdy Rally!! Light a candle in memory of Herman today! I would love you to tag me in your stories singing this diddy with your candle for Herman shining bright! He was such a gift to my heart- #rowdygirlsanctuary #weareimpactors
Herman taught me so much. He was our first rescue Herman taught me so much. He was our first rescue after we became a sanctuary. Herman was very angry and vicious when we first got him from the animal control center. He had been abandoned for 6 months after his owner died. The kids of the man that passed just left him to fend for himself. Herman was about 10 years old when we got him. He wasn’t at all trusting and snapped at everyone that got near him. As I head out to Dallas this morning I was reminded in my feed about this beautiful old man that taught me so much. Look at those eyes!! The stories he told me were rich! He was an old soul. He lived with us about a year and a half before he passed from heart failure- he was so loved and loving when he died. I wrote a little song about Herman that I used to sing to him to get him to soften- here are the lyrics- “Oh Herman, oh Herman, we love you so much. We see your soul behind your eyes, we know you had it rough. Oh Herman, oh Herman, we love you so much. We see your soul behind your eyes we know you had it rough.” Love y’all and please light a candle for Herman today - He was Rowdy Girls first official rescue- we got him on May 2, 2015. RIP my soulful angel. #rowdygirlsanctuary #txisgoingvegan #pigsofinstagram #pigsarefriendsnotfood #soulfuleyes #oldsoul ##herman #friendsforever #restinpeace #memories #illalwaysloveyou #myfirstrescue #weareimpactors @weareimpactors
