Helen was born blind and has lived on the dairy farm most of her life.
The farm where she originally was from had used her for her milk and to have more calves.

She gave birth to 14 calves and stayed on the farm for 15 years.
After that, she stopped producing milk and was deemed “useless” or not profitable.
The dairy farmer didn’t want to let go of Helen.
He spent so much time with her compared to the other cows and didn’t have the heart to leave her behind or give her away.
So, he did the most selfless thing – he sold his operations and told the new owner to keep Helen so he could keep an eye on her and still take care of her.
Unfortunately, the new farm owner wasn’t keen on Helen’s welfare.
Four years after he sold his operations, Helen was still living on the farm, but the new owners couldn’t give her as much attention and care as she needed as a senior and blind cow.
He started reaching out to sanctuaries that could take better care of her.
That’s when Uncle Neil’s Home came into the picture.
It’s an animal sanctuary that helps rescue animals, including farm animals.
When they heard about Helen, they knew they had to step right in. Founders Rian Feldman and Scooter Belasco worked on giving Helen a haven.
The first few days weren’t easy for Rian, Scooter, and Helen.
Everything was new to her, and it was difficult to erase her experience from all 19 years of her life.
