Henry was our first rescue alongside Cora. He arrived in Fall 2016. He was rescued from auction where he would have been sold to the highest bidder and eventually slaughtered. He was just a young claf when Barn Sanctuary brought him to his new home. Henry was rescued by a woman who wanted to teach her children and their classmates that Henry’s life was worth more than what he could be sold or used for.
As a calf, Henry was shy. He would back away from any affection or human interaction. But if you try to play with Henry, he will spring into action!
Henry is very sensitive and wears his emotions clearly. He can appear impatient and moody, but this seemingly tempermental boy in reality is very emotional: a secret softy with a giant heart. When one of our resident donkeys passed away in 2017, Henry spent hours in the field laying curled up next to her. He took the loss harder than any of the other residents.
