Libby Lou’s Safe Haven

Libby Lou’s Safe Haven is a microsanctuary and was established to provide permanent refuge and kindness for cows and friends.

Libby Lou Saved Me!

Until 2017, the closest I had come to a cow was when I was sitting in the backseat of the car as a kid in Texas, looking out the window at them as my parents drove. I remember thinking the cows looked so sweet and gentle with their big brown eyes. I had no clue how I’d ever take care of them but I knew that someday, I wanted at least one.

Years and years of living in the city brought me no closer to this goal. I didn’t really start this journey until I lost both of my parents. Their deaths made me feel lost emotionally. I left California city life behind to try and find peace living in the Colorado countryside.

It was then that I met Libby Lou, a miniature Hereford heifer. She came from a show-cattle ranch but was not a top finisher, so most likely was destined to become a breeder cow. I became her mom and she helped me heal emotionally. She introduced me to how loving, sweet and funny cows can be. Libby Lou saved me!

Libby Lou inspired me to try and make a difference in cows and friends lives, just as she has made a difference in mine. Two years after I met her, Libby Lou’s Safe Haven was born.
