“As I peered into the horse float transporting them to the safety of Edgar’s Mission, it came to me; there before me curled up in the straw were Hansel and Gretel, two little lost children making their way home.” These were the words I penned on the 11th of January 2010 after making the trip to save yet another two young calves whose time on this earth was to be no more. And although each life is as precious as the next, the helpless black waif of a calf that I rescued that day had a story like no other. Born with only three legs, dear Gretel touched the heart of the farmer as she struggled to keep up with the herd. However, it was this very disability that was to save her life, and so the call was made to Edgar’s Mission to see if there was a possibility that the imitable young three legged calf could have a chance at a life worth living. Now three and a half years on, oh what a life she leads! With her pal Hansel still by her side, Gretel has not a care in the world, with regular veterinary treatment and specialist hoof care keeping her as comfortable and as nimble as ever, as I hope you will enjoy seeing for yourself in this short clip! And I am sure you will agree that the once wayward young souls are most certainly lost no more. edgarsmission.org.au
