Our cow sanctuary is one of the most cherished and important functions of the New Talavana community. We are currently protecting about fifty cows, including bulls, oxen, milking cows, and calves.

When cows come under our protection, we vow to never do them harm or to sell them to someone who will. They are given ample pastureland for grazing and are provided all facilities for living a healthy and happy natural life.

We derive lots of fresh milk from our cows every day, and we only milk by hand. The cows are also not artificially inseminated. Due to all the love they receive, our cows give love-laden milk, a product much different than commercial dairy!

Additionally, full-grown cows provide nearly 80 pounds of manure a day each, which serves as fertilizer.

Adopt a Cow

New Talavana’s Adopt a Cow program has been running for over 10 years, and we have had hundreds of people “adopt” one of our cows by sponsoring their care and maintenance. Adopting a cow for $1008 is a great gift, and when you sponsor them, you can give them their official name.

Besides cow adoptions, you may donate funds to help with some of our cows’ basic needs, such as hay, grain, veterinary service, and equipment. We provide full transparency of where your donation is going. We’ll even provide you with updates on your cows, including pictures!
