Please pray for rain!
Iskcon Farm New Govardhan, Australia.
Karunamayi dasi: Due to the lack of rain and increasing heat the drought has been getting worse all around the country! The farm has not been this badly affected by drought in anyone’s memory.
The cows seemed to be getting by, but then we noticed they had started to lose weight, so we sprang into action. Some of the cows have access only to extremely poor grass so huge bales of hay are being delivered to the farm on a weekly basis so every cow gets adequate feed every day.
A ute is driven around each morning by the cowherd team with help from the volunteers to reach every cow on every inch of the farm. The cows are so happy to be getting the feed and so hungry that they come running to the ute as soon as they hear the engine.
The cows don’t appear to be losing weight any more, which is definitely a great sign! They had started to cry because they wanted food so much, now we love to watch them while they silently feast on their delicious hay.
