"Gifts that MULTIPLY!" One of the coolest things about Heifer's work with families and communities is called "passing on the gift." Families who receive an animal "repay" the loan by giving the animal's first female offspring to another family in need. That family, in turn, passes on the gift to another family. So one gift multiplies throughout the community! Let the "Cow-culator" show you how some of these animals multiply. And remember, we're only showing the number of offspring that can be expected from ONE female. Think of her offspring…that have offspring…that have offspring…WOW!
You might be thinking…hmmm, if the animal gift is a female, how can she possibly have babies without the male? Well, Heifer usually provides animals that have already been bred (they're pregnant). And what about keeping the animals healthy? The cost of any animal that you purchase includes training and medicines to keep the animals well.
