STILLWATER — It was not easy, but a Stillwater teen succeeded in her quest to 
find a new home for the New Jersey Cardinals’ Rally Cow. 
Kristin Star Picun is relieved that the 10-month-old bull can graze on a 
400-acre farm, owned by Donald Sharp, also of Stillwater. 
“I’m very happy we found such a good place,” said Picun. “It felt like a 
burden was lifted because the whole situation of finding a home for him was so 
stressful.” 
A vegetarian, Picun purchased the cow on Jan. 4 for $400 from the owner. “I 
love animals and I really got close to Rally Cow,” she said. “I didn’t want to 
see anything happen to him so I brought the situation into my own hands so I 
could ensure nothing would happen to him.” 
Donald Sharp offered his farm after he learned that Picun wanted to adopt the 
bull. 
Sharp, who is also a vegetarian, keeps 37 cows as pets. Sometimes he lends 
them out for breeding purposes. “I don’t sell no heifers to market,” he said. “
I love the animals so much, I can’t part with them.” 
Now, Picun’s bull can bask in the sunlight, which is what he was doing on a 
recent mild winter afternoon.
