Renee King-Sonnen is right there to great Grace and her baby Randy. Here's how Renee describes the situation that led these two innocent beings to end up at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. "Born on a cattle ranch in Nacogdoches, TX, these two bovine are a couple of the very rare lucky ones. A couple of months ago, a cattle rancher’s wife reached out to me because her daughter follows us on Facebook and knew that we used to be cattle ranchers that are now vegan with a real soft spot for cattle ranchers that fall in love with their cows.
"Mary was so distraught when I spoke to her because Grace was bottle raised since she was a baby by Mary, after Grace showed up on their land all cut up on her underside by barbed wire. Mary loves Grace and the tenderness between them is palpable.
"Grace is pictured here with her baby Randy. Grace would’ve been sold to auction, but instead, Mary was willing to do whatever it took to get Grace and her baby to safety. She worked it out with her husband to get Grace’s mastitis treated and got Randy sterilized. They rode 5 hours to Rowdy Girl and Mary was so relieved to find Grace and Randy a home on a sanctuary."
