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.
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.
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.
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.
Everything was new to her, and it was difficult to erase her experience from all 19 years of her life.
She was scared and confused, but Rian and Scooter were patient with her and worked towards gaining her trust. On the first day, it took her 45 minutes to get inside her shed.
They placed a wind chime outside her shed so she would know where to go when she needed to rest.
They also installed a solar-powered fountain on her water trough so she could hear the sprinkling water and know where to go when thirsty.
They nailed a brush by the frame of her shed so she could brush her hair, and she loved it so much!
Rian and Scooter took her for a walk every day and talked to her gently so she knew she was in a safe space.
They brush, hug, massage, and kiss her to tell her she will be okay.
She showed them that if they give that much love and care to animals that need help, they will receive that same amount of love or even in multiple folds.
Helen may be 19, but being in the sanctuary has given her a new lease on life.
As she enters her golden years, she’s been given a chance to make the most out of her freedom and to finally feel what love is.

Joe Rogan didn’t hold back when discussing California Governor Gavin Newsom’s rumored presidential ambitions, saying the Democratic leader has no business running for the White House after what he called a disastrous record governing his state.
Speaking on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan said, “You can’t ruin a city and then a state and then say, ‘Guys, that was just practice. When I get elected President, I’ll fix it all.’”
His remarks, which drew widespread attention online, echoed frustrations many Californians have voiced over homelessness, rising crime, and the state’s high cost of living.
The comments came during a discussion about the state of American politics and whether Democratic leadership at the state level had produced results worthy of national office.
Rogan’s blunt criticism resonated with many conservatives who view California as an example of failed progressive governance.
Fox News reported that Rogan, who left California for Texas in 2020, has repeatedly cited the state’s high taxes and increasing crime as key reasons for his move. He told listeners, “California used to be the place everyone wanted to go. Now, everyone’s leaving.”
Rogan said that under Newsom’s leadership, major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have suffered record homelessness, declining public safety, and worsening drug problems.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Rogan added. “They’ve got every resource imaginable, but the leadership is clueless.”
The Hill noted that Newsom’s name continues to circulate in Democratic circles as a potential 2028 presidential contender, especially as President Trump seeks reelection.
Newsom has denied he’s planning a run but has kept a national profile through appearances on cable news and foreign visits.
Rogan dismissed those efforts, calling them “image management.” He argued that voters should judge results, not speeches. “You can’t just go around the country telling people you’ll fix what you couldn’t fix at home,” he said.
Critics of Newsom point to the state’s population loss in recent years as a sign of deeper problems.
Census data shows California lost more than half a million residents between 2020 and 2023, with many citing affordability and safety as reasons for leaving.
The Daily Wire reported that business owners have also fled California due to regulatory burdens and rising crime.
Elon Musk, who moved Tesla’s headquarters to Texas, called the state’s policies “hostile to innovation.”
Rogan used that example during his podcast, saying that when a state drives out its most successful people, “you’ve got to stop and ask who’s in charge and why it’s failing.”
Supporters of Newsom argue that California remains the fifth-largest economy in the world and continues to lead in technology and green energy.
Still, even some Democrats acknowledge challenges with housing and crime that have plagued his tenure.
Rogan said he doesn’t hate California but believes the leadership has “completely lost touch” with everyday residents.
“They act like they’re saving the planet, but they can’t even keep the streets safe,” he added.
