Tucker

Sponsored by
Lisa Volk, and
Jean Smith


Tucker is part of The Liber8ed, a group of cows who survived a horrific semi truck accident outside of Washington, Iowa. He was one of the lucky, least injured of the group. However, we noticed he was having some trouble eating, and upon watching him graze, it became apparent that some of his teeth were knocked loose. The Iowa State University Large Animal Hospital team discovered that he had sustained quite a bit of damage to the inside of his mouth but assured us that it would heal up on its own.

Tucker tends to hang back and let his brothers make sure things are safe before he follows. If you've been wondering how we tell these boys apart, Tucker is definitely the easiest to spot! He has the longest, most beautiful, and curly hair. Pictures don't even do this fluffy guy justice!

For more information on The Liber8ed, check out this short documentary, “Alive by Accident,” created by Bite Size Vegan.

Tucker was one of the last of The Liber8ed to head to the Iowa State University Large Animal Hospital. We noticed he was having some trouble eating and upon watching him graze, we noticed some of his teeth were knocked loose. ISU revealed he had quite a bit of damage to the inside of his mouth, but assured us that it would heal up on its own-- although he may lose some teeth. Tucker tends to hang back and let his brothers make sure things are safe before he follows. As cautious as he is, he will still occasionally take treats from our hands. He much prefers his soft grain to the alfalfa we give them. If you've been wondering how we tell these boys apart, Tucker is definitely the easiest to spot! He has the longest, most beautiful, curly, fluffy hair! Pictures don't even do this fluffy guy justice! Tucker was named by Joy Wilde, in honor of her family.

NOTE: For sponsorships, please allow up to 3 business days for your sponsorship package to be created with care and delivered to the recipient's email address.
