You can adopt on-line. Simply click the donate or subscribe button next to the cow you want to adopt. If you are adopting by mail, write your check addressed to ISCOWP, 885 Oxen Drive, Moundsville, WV, 26041 USA for $501 or $41.75 and the name of the cow or ox you have chosen to adopt.
When you see the word Adopted by a cow it means that someone has adopted that cow. Some of our cows are adopted by more than one person and this helps us greatly in caring for that cow especially with medical needs when they arise. The majority of our herd is approaching old age and there are more medical bills now than before when they were younger. When you see no Adopted word by a cow, it means no one has adopted that cow and she or he very much needs you to adopt them!
We started leaving the cows who have passed away naturally on our farm on the web site along with those special people who adopted them. In addition to the cows listed here who have passed away there are 16 other cows that lived out their natural lives on the ISCOWP farm. There are presently 19 cows listed on this website available for adoption. Just follow the links on the bottom of each page to see them. Thank you

Gourangi
Breed: Holstein
Herd Status: Mid level management
Nature: She is one of the quiet members of the herd but she can also kick up her
Adopt Gourangi @$41.75 a month for one year
Nanda
Click to enlarge Age: 14 year old ox
Breed: Holstein & Simmental
Herd Status: Elder and Retired
Nature: In his appearance he looks more like his Simmental father. He is very big but is very gentle and friendly. Nanda is trained to work but unfortunately he has a pinched nerve/disk problem in his back and this has put him in the retired status in the herd. In the winter we keep a very close eye on him as it is hard for him to navigate when the ground gets slick with snow and ice. Many times he needs to be lead to the barn just to make sure that he is in a safe, dry place for the evening. He is always appreciative of the extra help extended to him.

Radhe Shyam
Age: 18 + years old cow
Breed: Holstein
Herd Status: Matriarch
Nature: She has a very gentle, motherly nature. She was amongst the NV herd that was grazing here when we first bought the property in 1996. When they were moved, she kept escaping and coming back to us. We decided to keep her with us since she obviously liked being with us. At present she is in very good health even though one of the oldest cows in our herd.
