Hippo is our resident old lady. We're so glad to have her for her retirement years and stop the overbreeding and stress she must have encountered in her past. She truly is a grass hippo. We believe she's part "dairy cow" judging by her stature and her bag, but whatever she may be, she's perfect to us. She constantly belches, she's not very lady like, and she's super bossy to the other ladies, but she's perfect in every other way. She is surely as sweet as she is sassy.

Being an older girl, Hippo unfortunately lost her calf shortly after birth. This entire experience ripped our hearts l out. Hippo tried her best, and we did too, but due to her being so old and overbred her baby wouldn't latch and gave up very quickly. After hours of bottle feeding, colostrum supplements, electrolytes, and a Madigan squeeze, her baby passed. Hippo was so distraught over her loss, we can only imagine how she must have felt after all of her years living within the industry. We love her, and we are so happy to be her retirement home. Please consider sponsoring Hippo.
