Texas Cattle Ranch gone vegan in the heart of cattle country - leading in the space of farm transitions - @rancheradvocacyprogram

When folks come to visit at Rowdy Girl, they ALWAY

When folks come to visit at Rowdy Girl, they ALWAYS leave with a heart full of love and appreciation for the animals, the farm, and the work we all do here to keep the home fires burning, so that all YALL can virtually be here too. Last week, Jennifer Graus, a beloved follower and NEW MEMBER of RGS came to volunteer. She booked her a room at a really cool air bnb up the road and hung out with us all day. The sparkle in her eyes and her enthusiasm to help out in any way was so refreshing--it always is!

Volunteers that come to Rowdy Girl always contribute so much to the cause, but what they take away is priceless. In this instance, Jennifer helped in the garden, she went out in the pasture and met lots of the cows--she took a special interest in our Queen Cinnamon, AND she left Rowdy Girl with lots of cool swag from our quaint little shop inside the farm house. While visiting with me in our little boutique I got to know Jennifer and discovered so many wonderful things about her. She has a non profit @bethesda.hom and a vegan business @healthybytewithjen - IN FACT, she fell in love with our #MeatlessEveryDay initiative and became a sponsor too! #fellthelove

So, you never know what kind of magic will happen when you visit a farm sanctuary that is determined to co-create a vegan world! We look forward to meeting you and we welcome you all into our global mission to #endanimalagriculture.

If you haven't ever volunteered or visited a farm animal sanctuary it is an experience that you do not want to miss. Whatcha waiting for?!

Good morning! ☀️

Globally, more than 500 million sheep are killed for food every year. That means a DAILY total of 1.5 million sheep killed for food. Many of these animals die while they are still babies. THATS INSANE

Y,all, I truly believe becoming vegan and starting

Y,all, I truly believe becoming vegan and starting the sanctuary has been divinely orchestrated and that my destiny has caught up with me. The teaching of ahimsa (respect for all living things and avoidance of violence toward others) has always been with me but I hadn't connected it to the animals I ate. After becoming vegan, I feel I received a spiritual download of information that guided me toward turning the ranch into an animal sanctuary.

Through the loving kindness of the sanctuary animals, we can extend that love to all human and non-human animals. Won't you help us share this message of peace and non-violence? Become a member of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary today!

Amazing Grace, Randy and Buster. Amazing Grace tak

Amazing Grace, Randy and Buster. Amazing Grace takes on a whole new meaning now as I take in the enormity of who this sentient being really is….amazing doesn’t even start to describe her. Being in her presence is another “gift” from God.

You always hear me talk about how spiritual cows are, well Grace, like Cinnamon, JD and Rowdy Girl herself all bring auspicious god or goddess-like qualities to the sanctuary. Cinnamon is grounded in a deep inner knowing that she holds mysteries for humans to unpack as soon as they enter her presence. JD is like an ancient god of old that demands tremendous awe and respect all at the same time, and Rowdy Girl...well she channeled the mysteries of all that is bovine to me when I started feeding her as a baby in 2010, and continues to stay one step ahead of me.

Fast forward to now--to Grace.

Being in Grace’s presence is like being in the arms of Mother Nature--her gentle acceptance of humans and the way she welcomes us into her space makes time stand still. Top that off with her approving glance as I wander over to entertain Randy’s curiosity, is pure trust indeed. Being with this family is like a spiritual communion of the soul.

About 6 weeks ago we integrated Grace and Randy with Buster (another calf that was surrendered by a TX cattle rancher), and the friendship that has ensued will be forever. Buster was named after the fact that he loves to playfully head butt his human friends.

What humanity could learn if we could slow down and listen to the animals and comprehend their verbal and physical language!

Sanctuaries are places where we learn about animals and ourselves, but also places that transcend words and meaning. The peaceful countryside without the context of raising feed crops to fatten animals for slaughter has a different feeling and is cherished by visitors. Until sanctuaries came along I don’t think humanity had an inkling about how “amazing” cows are!

Protect your local sanctuary. We are so thankful for people around the world who help us maintain this piece of paradise — social media makes us all “local!”

When I began to experience the cows as beings inst

When I began to experience the cows as beings instead of units of production I began my journey through the maze which eventually led me to go vegan--which eventually led me to starting the first ever beef cattle ranch vegan conversion in history.

Cows in my books are grounded in the essence of all that is spiritual. They are calm, sweet and docile. So when it comes to the historical domestication of these sentient beings, it is not the story of symbiosis that we’d like to believe--there are no happy cows being peacefully slaughtered--they are in agony and are endlessly exploited for their bodies, reproductive excretions, raped, and so on. We didn’t domesticate tigers to be milked or bears to be slaughtered for meat. We saw in cows the spirit of ahimsa, of nonviolence, and we have exploited them ever since.

Rowdy Girl awakened so much in me— especially in a place like Texas, where everything is bigger (including the kick in the ass you need to buck tradition and seek not what’s popular but what’s RIGHT). Through the years I’ve studied various spiritual teachers because I’ve always leaned into higher laws, principles and ways of being. My yoga teacher Swami Satchidananda had a very profound teaching that still resonates with me to this day…”truth is one, paths are many”. There is only one TRUTH here - VIOLENCE IS VIOLENCE no matter how you frame it. There is no right way to do the wrong thing, and when

I realized that I went vegan and knew that I had to save the herd from going to slaughter. I went into the direction of being their steward, not their executioner. There is a sanskrit word, satyagraha--when one insists on holding firmly to the truth, it is its own force--that is the power I tapped into when I went vegan on a Texas Cattle Ranch! I would do whatever I had to do to save them. The essence of satyagraha is what fueled my passage to veganism. Gandhi is an example of someone that exerted satyagraha which led him to defy the greatest empire on the planet.

We don’t do cattle drives, but we’re excited t

We don’t do cattle drives, but we’re excited to have a Rowdy Girl Membership Drive! Come along, little doggies!

Farm animals deserve so much more! Humanity has failed them. Sanctuaries, like Rowdy Girl, are dedicated to giving animals that would have been mercilessly slaughtered, not only a forever home, but a voice! Farm animals are birthed into a life of servitude--they’ve committed no crimes! They awaken to violence and are used, abused and commodified in the horrific food system of our society.

Setting aside all the animals we breed into existence there are 7.5 billion people who think it's fine that 1.5 billion cows exist only to have their flesh cut from their bodies and milk squeezed from their udders. What do they deserve? I’m sure that it’s to live as a cow according to cows rather than as cows according to humans. That’s liberation, that’s freedom. It irks me when my friends and family use the word “freedom” as their right to eat my friends.

What do they deserve? For all the frustration we feel for the animals trapped in the system, we must do right by the ones who have escaped. The 3 words that describe what they deserve may seem a bit naive, and even childish, but when I hear them I know they fit: HAPPILY EVER AFTER. The storybook ending! Is that too much to ask--not when we’ve got like-minded folks, starting with the ones who rescue animals, fight for their freedom, and others that come to volunteer and visit them. But most of the time, their care is felt through folks from afar that wish they could come in person, but do the next indicated thing--BECOME A MEMBER!

Anyone can contribute to the HAPPILY EVER AFTER by becoming a member. We calculate the costs of operation and the number of members we need to make sure we don’t fail these animals in any way, now or in the future.

Here’s how it adds up: sponsoring for $5/month is the equivalent of buying organic grapes for Sealy the turkey; $10 buys a 50 lb. bag of sweet feed for the cows, and $15 buys a couple square bales of alfalfa that will keep the goats happily munching.   TO MAKE A DONATION OF $5, $10, $15 OR MORE PER MONTH, FOLLOW THE LINK IN OUR BIO. THANKS! AND WELCOME TO THE ROWDY FAMILY!

Which of our animals were never adopted, rescued o

Which of our animals were never adopted, rescued or surrendered to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary?

The photos are a pretty big hint! Trixie and Dixie, our beloved donkeys didn’t come to us…the sanctuary came to THEM. You see, they have been living on this property in Waelder, Texas, for a long time before we got here, and the folks we bought the land from didn’t know where they came from--who knows how and when they appeared?! When we opened the trailers for the cows to assume the pastures, the donkeys seemed to accept them as guests in their domain as if to say, “Lots of grass for all y’all!” They are happy to see the people arrive too (especially the ones bringing apples). Yes, the donkeys love humans and all the humans that come visit all become fast friends with Trixie and Dixie!

I often wonder if Trixie and Dixie knew we were coming? They have a look in their eyes that tells me they did--there’s a certain twinkle and feeling I get that lets me know that they are eternally grateful that a sanctuary showed up instead of a cattle rancher! They spent years out here all by themselves and then overnight they were gifted with a rowdy surprise!
We see them as ambassadors of the animal kingdom who have pre-anointed this land for those who will remain uneaten.

Pretty good for a couple of donkeys, a species that has a rep as a loud, foolish, and graceless cousin to the horse — so close to kissin’ cousins that in captivity they can reproduce a half-breed called mules, which are said to have the best features of both, gaining a strong constitution and longevity from their donkey parent — not to mention an intelligence to rival dogs and dolphins, and with that, wisdom to have higher instincts of self-preservation. So scratch “foolish” from the donkey rap sheet! The short legs, ears of rabbit proportions, and a voice like an overblown saxophone might come off as comical compared to the graceful presence of a horse, but Trixie and Dixie know that life isn’t a beauty pageant, and being fuzzy, friendly, and unimposing can earn you a lot more apples.

Turn Trixie and Dixie’s “HEE HAW” into a “YEE-HAW” by becoming a member of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary today! FOLLOW THE LINK IN THE BIO!

A common sequence of dietary transitions is to giv

A common sequence of dietary transitions is to give up red meat, then pescetarian, and then to ovo-lacto-vegetarian (plant-based but eats eggs and dairy). Many vegans admit that they languished in the vegetarian stage, feeling that they are doing more than most, which is true, and the animals weren’t killed and possibly lived a happy life, which is false. In the Internet age it’s pretty hard to maintain the naïveté that eggs and dairy aren’t slaughter industries with a nasty end for every animal.

This is why our Meatless Every Day campaign isn’t about just avoiding meat—the flesh of slaughtered animals. The secretions of slaughtered animals offer no particular nutritional advantage over a plant-based diet, and enlightened ethics suggest that it is not just the death of an animal but the suffering of its existence that matters. The egg and dairy industries are more violent than the meat industry because their agony and suffering is prolonged.

About the “incredible edible egg.” All they’ve got going for them is several decades of deceiving everyone that eggs are healthy. Dr. Michael Greger retrieved emails between egg producers who wanted to access the USDA’s $10 million advertising budget but thereby had to adhere to truth in advertising. After various exchanges it became evident that eggs were too high in saturated fat to be called “low fat” or “good for weight loss” or even “healthy,” especially since they are high in cholesterol and poison thousands of Americans each year with Salmonella. They weren’t even allowed to call eggs “safe.” What did they have to settle for? Eggs have calories and can satiate your appetite. Well, big deal—the worst junk food and candy can do that! Turns out the only thing credible about the egg is that some people do indeed find them edible.

If your taste buds crave eggs check out the myriad of substitutes—they are all cholesterol and cruelty-free! If you already are a fan of plant-based egg substitutes, let those brands know how important they are to our campaign!

This little fella, Randy and his momma, Grace is so adorable- Randy is as gentle and mild mannered as his mom and I’m totally in love with them both. (Swipe right to watch a progression of photos come to life as Randy sneaks up on me from behind.) If you’ve followed their story, then you know that they were surrendered by a cattle ranchers wife that couldn’t bear the thought of sending Grace to slaughter. Grace gad a terrible case of mastitis and would’ve ended up culled from the ranchers herd if she hadn’t found our sanctuary and appealed to us for help. I’m so grateful that I got to witness this amazing love between a cattle ranchers wife and a cow named Grace. And the baby, Randy is such a love bug. I just can’t believe our society has reduced these lovely earthlings to chopped up bodies called bones, filet mignons and hamburger meat! With all the great plant based meat options nowadays there’s no excuse to eat the tortured bodies of the innocent. Support our life saving work and advocacy by becoming a member!

The experience of watching them leave, the mamas w

The experience of watching them leave, the mamas wailing for a week, and the absence of their souls in the pasture haunted me. I cried so many times over it.

You see, Big Ag keeps us separated from the farmed animals. We don't see the bodily mutilations done without anesthesia. The calves getting separated from their mamas at birth, and the males slaughtered at a few months old on dairy farms. Youngsters carted off to feed lots to be fattened up for slaughter at 1/10th of their lifespan. And on and on...

Your membership to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary helps us rescue and provide the very best care for these gentle souls. Please sign up today! 🔗 Link in Bio
