Instead of pics of pancakes, we thought we'd share this lovely story instead. Happy
It's Shrove Tuesday and that means it's Pancakes birthday! 🎈🎂
Pancake is 5 years old today 😊
His rescue is a miraculous story in that his mum was deemed dangerous at the farm she was at and had been maked for slaughter
Fiona's contact at the livestock market made a call to see if Fiona could help as her behaviour was getting out of hand, and so it was that she was fetched to the sanctuary and put into what is now the Highlands barn.
Now named Gerda, she was clearly in a state and unapproachable, unless you were keen on being charged.
However after a few days, she calmed down after realising she was in a place of sanctuary with no stress.
Some months later, on Shrove Tuesday 2019, we found a pile of fluff partially hidden behind a big bale is straw
The reason for her angry behaviour finally revealed as she was in calf.
She had had all her previous babies taken away from her and you could see how protective she was being towards baby Pancake
After a while, she realised that he wasn't going to be taken away from her and she became very calm
The pair have now lived here since that time and are never far from each other
Pancake is desperate to finish his marathon des cows as he has been at 33% of his target for a long time
Let's see if we can get him across the line today 😊 by finding people willing to spare a pound or more towards helping with his feed costs
