Bo
Bo, Bowie, Bo Bo. How ever you would like to nickmame him, he was an adorable, full of energy piggie. Bo was bred to be little and cute for kids and adults alike to fawn over at a petting zoo. However, once new babies arrived he was considered waste.
Bo found a loving home here for two years, where he was far from being exploited like a toy again.
Bo was euthanised in October 2022 due to an unrepairable injury to his right shoulder, after many treatments, rehabilitation and vet consults.
We are grateful he is no longer in pain. He will be missed by all who knew him
Barney
Our delicate little boy. Although we only got to be his friend and show him what kindness and love is for 39 days, we will continue to save animals like him, for him. Not only was Barney born a male calf (considered ‘a waste product’ in the meat & dairy industry), he was also premature which made him less than profitable in the industry. Thus, he was left in a muddy paddock to die with flies swarming his eyes and tick-ridden. After countless vet visits and the nights we spent in the barn by his side, he was still in so much pain. With our hearts full of sadness and love for this beautiful boy, we had to let him go. Though, he has fuelled us with more passion to save farmed animals, because even though his time with us was fleeting, he got to know unconditional love from us and his friends Tassie and Daisy.
Moo Moo
An exploited Dairy Cow for eight years, Moo Moo had a life of misery and was considered waste once she wasn’t producing enough milk after being artificially impregnated eight times. A loving couple saved her and created a safe oasis for her for ten years. Now, Moo Moo is at her forever home here at Moo to Ewe. She has become friends with the young ones, being a bit softer with their playing compared to Hope, Ray and Howie. As Moo Moo is struggling with arthritis, Tassie gives her a helping push every once in a while!
Andy
On 22nd May 2019, we visited a nearby farm. The person that ran the farm purchased discarded calves from sales yards in the local region, brought them home to her farm in efforts to make them ‘healthier’ & on sell them. Andy and Diago were brothers, in poor condition & obviously were not receiving the milk their tiny bodies required at such a young age. We decided to rescue them so we could make sure they got the nutrition and attention they needed. Sadly, Andy was only with us for a short time upon arrival. Though, we are relieved he knew love in the last hours of his short life.
Diago
Diago was rushed to the local vet as soon as he arrived, immediately being placed on a drip. Unfortunately, his body was not strong enough either. Even though Diago and Andy’s lives at Moo to Ewe were brief, we will always remember them with so much love, and continue to provide as much love and care to victims in similar situations. Sadly, Diago and Andy’s circumstances aren’t unique, with many calves not receiving the attention and nutrients they need, cast aside by farmers claiming they are ‘waste’ within the industry and very rarely do those innocent beings feel any kind of love.
Violet
Violet was found on a horse stud, malnourished and frightened. When he was rescued by Velma Violet, and taken to M2E, he wouldn’t consume food and had cuts all over himself. He was a fighter for so long that when finally having a safe place to rest at M2E, he passed away a few days after arriving.
Doreen, Freda, Millie, Myrtle, Clove, Cinnamon, Ginger & Nutmeg
These ladies were rescued by Catherine of NSW Hen Rescue from the unforgivable conditions that billions of egg-laying hens are forced to endure every single day. They were lucky enough to live out a peaceful and joyful 2 years at Moo to Ewe where they could be themselves and do what hens love to do! Their daily fun included sunbathing, dust bathing, digging and scratching around for worms in the soil and lots more.
We will never forget these beautiful soulful ladies and all of the joy they bought to the visitors and volunteers of Moo to Ewe Sanctuary.
Missy
MISSY ARRIVED AT M2E MARCH 2019
Missy arrived at M2E with her son Rustus. They lived peaceful, joyful lives on the sanctuary for 5 years. Originally living with their life-long friend, Sunday, Missy and Rustus briefly joined the sheep, until Lizzie joined them in their own Goat Wonderland! Rustus unfortunately passed away in August 2023.
The Boer goat is the leading breed used for specialty meat in Australia. In the agriculture industry, the attractive traits of breeding Boer goats is their high fertility and growth speed to be slaughtered younger.
Instead, the attractive traits of our beautiful friend Missy was her kindness towards her best friend Lizzie, her joy of playing on the goat playground, and her love of butt scratches.
Missy passed from old age in May 2024. She is dearly missed.
Rustus
RUSTUS ARRIVED AT M2E MARCH 2019
Rustus was rescued when he was a kid with his Mumma Missy. His cheeky, joyful nature was infectious!!
Even though only the brave could go into the paddock with Rustus and had to be ready for a tussle with him, you could feel his loveable nature, and cuddly spirit over the fence. We would deny having favourites… but the volunteer family at Moo to Ewe definitely had a soft spot for Rusty in all our hearts.
Unfortunately this strong boy got knocked down by a severe blockage in his urethra, and it could not be fixed. Rusty passed away 6.08.2023.
