Anyone who’s cared for a pet knows that animals are the epitome of unconditional love. From a pet dog’s loyalty to a wild deer’s trust to eat out of someone’s hand, animals never cease to amaze with their acceptance and love.
Just ask Flower and Peanut! These blind cows arrived at Iowa Farm Sanctuary under completely different circumstances, but fate brought them together in the most perfect way. In a matter of moments, these bovine buddies became more like mother and child!
The cows’ rescuers told their heartwarming story in a May 15 TikTok video, and now people are reaching for the tissues.
This beautiful sight looks like a scene from a movie! From the big blue sky to the tall grass swaying in the breeze, this is an idyllic countryside if I’ve ever seen one. It’s the perfect place for rescued animals like these blind cows to enjoy the rest of their lives!

Whether Flower and her adopted calf Peanut are grazing in the field or resting in the sunshine, they feel at home whenever they’re together. It’s hard to believe that they’ve only been together for about a week! If this is how close they are after just a few days, I can’t wait to see what the future will hold.

So many commenters agree that these blind cows are “perfect together.” They “lean on each other and help each other through the day.” Their rescuers had a gut feeling that they’d get along beautifully, and they were absolutely right!
How Do Blind Cows ‘See?’
When a dog or cat goes blind (or is born without sight), they can rely on their other senses to navigate the world. This isn’t a big deal for these critters, who use scent as their primary way of ‘seeing’ the world, but not all species follow suit.

“So… how do blind cows know where to go?” someone asked. “I know enough about cattle to know they are very visually minded.”

“We’ve always kind of thought it seemed like sonar!” the cows’ rescuers replied. “Peanut has had the greatest level of difficulty, of all our blind cows, learning to navigate, but Flower never bumps into anything, and neither did Ellie. They are really great at using their other senses! The one thing that does throw them off a bit is rain!”
This is so fascinating! These animals are more resilient than we give them credit for, and it’s safe to say that Peanut’s confidence will only grow from here. These farm animal rescuers know exactly what they’re doing!
