My mom discovered Heifer International a few years ago, and since then she's been giving people birthday and other gifts in the form of donations. As I'm sure you know, they have donation amounts for sponsoring cows, goats, chickens, bees, rabbits, etc. Somewhere in the world is a veritable menagerie with my name associated! Who knows, perhaps even Herman's cow! I'm forwarding her the link to your photos...I know she'll be happy to see them.
