Grace & Randy’s Story
Born on a cattle ranch in Nacogdoches, Texas, Grace and Randy are among the very rare fortunate ones. The wife of a cattle rancher reached out because her daughter follows Rowdy Girl Sanctuary on Facebook and knew that the founder, a former cattle rancher turned vegan, has a special place in their heart for cattle ranchers who develop a bond with their cows.
When Mary, the rancher’s wife, spoke about Grace, she was deeply distraught. Grace had been bottle-fed by Mary since she was a baby, after being found on their land with cuts on her underside from barbed wire. The love Mary has for Grace is evident, and the tenderness between them is palpable.
Grace is pictured here with her baby, Randy. Grace would have been sold at auction, but instead, Mary was determined to do whatever it took to ensure the safety of Grace and her baby. She worked out an arrangement with her husband to have Grace’s mastitis treated and Randy sterilized. They then drove five hours to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, where Mary was immensely relieved to find a home for Grace and Randy.
Grace and Randy are calm and mild-mannered, a testament to the love Mary must have had for them. It’s hard to believe they came from a working cattle ranch. Randy enjoys spending time with Buster, another boy rescued from a local cattle rancher.
This is Randy at seven weeks old. On his second day at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, he graced the sanctuary with his presence, spending quality “curiosity” time with the founder. This little boy is incredibly sweet, and his mother, Grace, is just as gentle. The sanctuary now has forever to cherish this gorgeous little boy, Randy, and his sweet, gentle mother, Grace.
Grace and her baby Randy are thriving. They are acclimating well and remain calm. It is difficult to comprehend how anyone could consume the bodies of these peaceful earthlings. They are so passive, yet fiercely protective of their young. Grace possesses a soul that radiates wisdom and depth. She is trusting and gentle beyond words.
