There are 12 cows in the Full Circle herd. Sylvia is the matriarch and the first cow to have called FCFS home. She arrived in 2016, after liberation from auction. It is likely that before coming to FCFS, Sylvia had several children she was not allowed to keep. This is common for most cows in a farm setting.
When Sylvia arrived at the sanctuary, she was pregnant. Fearful of another baby being taken, she hid deep in the woods and gave birth to daughter Scarlett. Unfortunately, at one year old, Scarlett fell ill. Despite all attempts to save her, she passed away. It was a heartbreaking loss.
Sylvia has endured and become a mother figure to all the cows who have come after her. Nothing happens in the pasture without Sylvia's knowledge. She is bonded to her herd and dedicated protector. She keeps a watchful eye on the pasture, ensuring the safety of her family.
However their story began, all the cows in the FCFS herd were in need of safety and refuge. It is an honor to provide these individuals with a loving forever home and the daily care they need and deserve.
