Krystal's purpose in life changed after rescuing two bobby calves, Frankie and Fletcher. She founded Companion Cows, a registered charity on a mission to create a kinder world for dairy cows and their babies.
Krystal, her husband and two children moved to Tasmania four years ago. They very quickly saw the realities of the dairy industry when they came across a bobby calf on a dairy farm. It didn't take long for Krystal to step into action, she became a foster carer for a charity rescuing and rehoming calves.
In July 2022, Krystal started her own charity, Companion Cows and now operates the charity with her friend Phoebe. Companion Cows has grown, with foster stations in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, rehoming all the calves rescued into safe and loving homes.
Through her rescue journey, Krystal gained a much deeper understanding of the broken system alot of farmer's find themselves in and wanted to help on a much bigger scale. Krystal launched Farm Transitions Australia, a charity helping farmers transition out of animal agriculture into plant based agriculture or a new career. The charity provides services to farmers free of charge and involves a collaborative approach with an advisory panel and third partner providers.
In this episode, Krystal shares her first hand experiences saving dairy cows, being a guardian of bovines and her long term solution to the bandaid fix of rescue.
