Faith the Cow

Faith the Cow is the true story of Dan West and how he and a group of farmers worked together to create peace in the world. As the old saying goes, “Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Heifer Project International started out teaching people “how to fish” by donating a young pregnant cow — a heifer — to someone in need. When the cow gave birth, the cow provided milk to the family in need; the family receiving the cow then became a donor to a neighbor, donating the new calf and teaching the neighbor how to feed and care for the calf. In this way the “recipient” also becomes the “donor.”
