You’re gonna wanna watch this one til the end! 😂 We can’t believe it’s been a whole month since these two were rescued from local farm that was downsizing due to owner injury. Mama Odesa and baby Zephyr have made such incredible progress since then - they have gained weight and serious issues that we were so concerned about have actually resolved because they’re getting proper nutrition now. They have truly exceeded our expectations in their recovery. Zephyr has probably tripled in size! 🥳 We have posted more details over on Patreon, where you can join to support the 100+ rescued animals of @happycompromisefarm for as little as $3/month (or $6 to be added to Close Friends where we post the fun stories!). We’ll also be posting about their introduction to the rest of the herd over there soon, so we really hope you’ll join us (link in bio!). 💓 We love Odesa and Zephyr so much already and are so glad they’re with us at the sanctuary. They are about to have the BEST time with so many friends - we can’t wait!! *** *** *** #happycompromisefarm #animalsanctuary #animalrescue #alpacasofinstagram #secondchances #rescuedandloved #animalfamily #mamaandbaby (fb)

The former owners of this property sadly cleared away so many of the trees in the pasture, but they hadn’t gotten to this patch of forest by the time @happycompromisefarm moved in. This special place isn’t visited much by the humans here - it’s deep in the large paddock - but the cows, pups, and alpacas know it so well. They come here for shade on hot days and cover from rain on inclement days. They have carved paths in the pine needle-covered forest floor and know which branches are best for that hard-to-reach itch. They know this land so well because it’s wholly theirs where they are completely safe and secure. It feels like an honor to be welcomed into their herd - they get so excited to see us! And it’s pretty magical to stumble upon a rescued herd of cows in a forest. ✨ *** *** *** #happycompromisefarm #animalsanctuary #animalrescue #cowsofinstagram #friendsnotfood #rescuedandloved #secondchances #forestbathing (fb)
