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 least injured of the group. We noticed he was having some trouble eating, and upon watching him graze, we noticed 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! Tucker was named by IFS friend Joy Wilde in honor of her family.
