COWS ARE COOL: LOVE ‘EM!
44.
Inseparable Friends
A Calf And A Goat
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) is a charity in England that promotes animal welfare, especially of cats and dogs. It runs an animal shelter at Fairfield.
Recently RSPCA staff faced an unusual problem after a love affair developed between a curious calf and a lonely goat in the Fairfield animal shelter.
Barnaby, the cow and Sprout, the goat were brought in to the RSPCA's shelter separately and have been inseparable ever since.
Where the calf goes, Sprout, the goat follows. They sleep together, eat together and Sprout quickly retreats behind Barnaby's broad hide if he's threatened by any other animals.
Even though there are other goats in the yard, this goat turns his back on his own kind, preferring his bovine mate.
Both the calf and the goat were brought to the animal shelter as stray homeless animals. The goat was emaciated and suffering from tick paralysis. But within a day or two of meeting at the shelter, the duo struck a friendship. Now both are purely into each other.
RSPCA officer Justin Palazzo says the pair is inseparable, “It's a strange thing but we see them following each other around all the time. Sprout prefers to hang out with Barnaby. It's strange. There's other goats there but he just turns his nose up at them. We are trying and keep them together.”

Oh Sacred Cow
If you ask me
India is the place to be
There cows are sacred
none are objects of hatred
There cows roam free
