Dahlia comes all the way from Iowa! Born a twin to a male calf, she was exposed to male hormones that left her unable to get pregnant. Dairies consider calves like Dahlia “expendable” and “surplus” because they are not valuable. A kind farm worker rescued Dahlia so that she could be a friend for our other rescued calf, Zinnia. We drove out and brought Dahlia home. She is best friends with Zinnia.
