🐄🎉 National Dairy Month Giveaway for the Animals 🎉🐄
June is recognized as National Dairy Month, a promotion that began in the 1930s as "National Milk Month" to encourage milk consumption and support the dairy industry.
At Shy 38, we are using this month a little differently. While the dairy industry celebrates milk, we celebrate cows.
Cows like Helen, one of our rescued dairy cows, remind us that these animals are intelligent, social individuals with friendships, preferences, and emotional lives of their own. They are so much more than what they can produce for us.
This year's Sanctuary Transformation Fundraiser is largely about them.
Many of you know we had hoped to expand by purchasing neighboring land. Unfortunately, we lost that opportunity, and relocating the sanctuary isn't possible right now. So instead, we're reimagining and rebuilding the space we already have.
Our primary goal is to create more usable pasture and grazing space for our cow herd through fencing improvements, rotational grazing areas, pasture restoration, and moving other resident groups into spaces that better fit their needs. By reorganizing the sanctuary, we can give the cows more room, improve pasture health, reduce hay dependence, and create a more sustainable future for everyone who calls Shy 38 home.
So far, thanks to all of you, we've raised over $17,000 toward our $30,000 goal, leaving less than $13,000 to go. The work has already begun, and we're determined to complete this transformation this year.Will you help us reach our goal?
Enter our National Dairy Month Giveaway!
Raffle tickets are $5 each, and you can purchase as many as you'd like.
One lucky winner will receive a cow-themed gift basket full of goodies including a cow mug, dairy free chocolate bars and a framed photo of your bestie, Helen🐄 plus lots more!
Special thanks to our friend Melinda for donating the adorable Halloween costume for your pup! .
Every ticket purchased helps us move closer to our goal and helps create a better future for Helen and the rest of our cow herd.
Because if National Dairy Month is about cows, we think it's only fair to remember the cows themselves. While the dairy industry celebrates what cows produce, we're celebrating who cows are.
