Cow Winter News

Indraneela like all the other cows in the ISCOWP herd spends a lot of time eating hay in the winter. Even though he lives in central Florida, there is not enough grass to eat in winter, and his diet has to be supplemented with hay. He also eats leaves off of bushes in the woods. This winter some of his adopters came to visit him, and he had a change of pace from his usual routine. Watch the suggested video at the end of this video and see how Indra was when he was first rescued from the auction barn.
