Description
The Cow and Calf Weathervane. An intimate moment between mother and calf captured permanently on this working weathervane. Mother cow is encouraging the calf to face away from the wind while heading right into it herself. Mothers do this sort of thing for their offspring. https://kb.rspca.org.au
For cows to produce milk, they have to give birth to a calf. … Some calves are reared as veal. However, about three quarters of the heifers will become replacements for adult milk-producing cows. Heifer calves are also reared and then exported to dairy farms overseas. Bobby calves may also be killed on farm.
A bobby calf is:
- No more than 30 days old.
- usually weighs less than 80kg live weight.
- Is commonly a dairy breed or cross.
- They are sold for meat or reared for dairy-beef.
Approximately 400,000 bobby calves are processed each year in Australia supporting local jobs and providing a valuable protein resource.
This is the ideal present for someone that you know who wants to add that special something to their home. Perhaps even treat yourself.
Made of stainless steel this black Cow and Calf Weathervane will give years and years of enjoyment and service.
