Rescued Cows at Hillside...

Straw

Enables Us To Provide Warmth And Comfort To Our Rescued Cows

There are 300 rescued cows living at Hillside and each has a story to tell. Many came here as a result of Trading Standards’ cases where their previous owners neglected them and were prosecuted. Some were pets that their loving owners could no longer look after and others were saved by a quirk of fate, such as swimming in a river, or being infertile. Whatever their past, they are now safe to enjoy the rest of their days free from the threat of cruelty, neglect or slaughter. During the summer they get the chance to graze the summer meadows and, when the colder weather arrives, they benefit from the comforts of straw to keep them warm. They have free access to a large barn but many prefer to spend most of the winter days getting comfortable on their straw pads.
