People's Jewel:Miniature Hereford cow BHFJewel of the Valley warms hearts everywhere she goes

摘要

BHF Jewel of the Valley is not your average cow. She's really not even your average miniature Hereford cow. Her job isn't to raise calves or make beef; she is a therapy and educational animal. Her owner, Gina Moore, uses her for pet therapy at nursinghomes and hospitals and to educate children through a non-profit petting zoo.Her story started March 31, 2006, at Bryan Hill Farm, Broadway, Va. Debbie Bryan says, "She became our first bottle calf; little did we know this cow would become such a big part of our family. Our then 3-year-old daughter, Rachel, named her and we let Rachel help a lot withthe bottle-feeding. This sparked her interest in cattle."
