The Jersey cow was intended for meat, but the butcher spared his life since he was on the smaller side, most likely because he was picked on by the other cows in the herd.

The family who has now adopted him as their pet took this as a sign that it was meant to be. But while the family knows Delbur was meant to be their pet, Delbur thinks he was meant to be a puppy.

He is now living the life on Garrett and Shiane Holzwarth’s Michigan farm and acts just like a puppy would. He loves to play with balls and swim in the pond with his human siblings, JoHanna, Gaven, Colsen and Brynnah.

He also enjoys sitting by the campfire while eating graham crackers, take naps in the pasture with his family, and run around and play.

Throw back to when Del was a baby! He loves cuddles in the summer sun ☀️
