@thegentlebarn: Nine years ago, 6 cows escaped a slaughterhouse together. They broke through fences, ran through the streets, and protected each other. They ran because they knew their lives depended on it.  Thankfully, we were able to rescue them in time and bring them to safety in sanctuary, where they finally got the chance to live the lives they deserved. They stayed together, learned to trust people again, and saw their family of 6 cows grow into a larger herd surrounded by horses, pigs, goats, and so many other loving rescued animals.  Nearly a decade later, our brave group of escapees is becoming a group of sweet seniors. And more recently, our beloved Roo has started slowing down. We’ve taken every precaution to make sure this wasn’t anything more serious. Our veterinarian examined him, we took him to the hospital, and we ran lots of tests. Thankfully, everything came back normal. Roo is simply entering his golden years. Now we’re focused on keeping him as comfortable and happy as possible with specialized care, supportive treatments, and all the love he deserves.  These days, Roo enjoys gentle walks through the pasture, relaxing in the sunshine, and taking in every peaceful moment. After everything he’s been through, we’re so grateful he gets to grow old surrounded by love ❤️ #cowtok #HealingJourney #seniors #gentlecare #sanctuarylife
