Holy Cow
The Lord is the protector of cows and the brahminical (spiritual) culture. A society devoid of cow protection and brahminical culture is not under the direct protection of the Lord, just as the prisoners in the jails are not under the protection of the king but under the protection of a severe agent of the king. Without cow protection and cultivation of the brahminical qualities in human society, at least for a section of the members of society, no human civilization can prosper at any length. - Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.14.34 (Purport)

CARE FOR COWS
Care for Cows in Vrindavan (India) is the branch of Vrindavan Food for Life that maintains abandoned cows, bulls, retired oxen, and orphaned calves. We are international volunteers who offer our talents and resources to tend to the neglected cows living in Krishna’s holy land. We provide stray cows hay, flour, fresh grass, medical attention and a place where they can recuperate from injuries. At present we host a herd of one hundred two. (Off site)
