A local cow rescue needs your help, and all it takes is the click of a button.

Samma Farm, located in the Midway area of McMinnville, is entered in a contest called America's Favorite Pet: Animal Kingdom with $10K on the line. Denise Montrose, founder and operator of Samma Farm, asks the public to vote on the rescue's behalf.

Sanjay, featured by the rescue, is a miniature cow who came to Montrose unable to stand or walk without assistance. With her loving care and the expertise of talented professionals, he has regained some mobility.

"Sanjay means a lot to me because he was our first bottle calf," Montrose said of her connection with the calf. "Sanjay also lived in the RV with us for two and a half months and that was so much fun. Once I moved into the nonprofit office above the garage, he lived on the porch for another month until we built him his own pasture. Funny story, Sanjay has his own house so he got a house before my own house was ready."

The contest is slated to end tomorrow, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. PDT with the winner taking home $10K and two-page spread in the InTouch Magazine. Sanjay is currently a quarter-finalist in the competition, and needs to secure the top spot in his category in order to proceed.

"The $10k we would win from the contest will help pay for Sanjay’s prosthetic. He can no longer support his growing weight on his three legs," explained Montrose. "We are currently investigating whether he can keep the leg or whether it will need to be removed."

Voting for Sanjay in the contest is easy, all it requires is a Facebook account or credit card to verify. There is no charge, but the system is in place to avoid bots and automated voting from cheating.
