Cinnamon is an American Bison that was bred into the 4H program, where she was raised to be shown and then slaughtered. Thankfully, she was saved from that fate by William “Willy” Olund. Willy and Cinnamon bonded tightly. He was a Vietnam veteran, and Cinnamon helped him cope with PTSD.
Willy tragically passed away, and his daughter, Stacey, was determined to find the perfect place for his beloved bison. It took some time, but eventually, Hailey from Two Girls One Truck Animal Transport contacted us, and we were happy to welcome Cinnamon to CCFS.
Cinnamon was so important to Willy—and, by extension, Stacey—that she and her friend Kelly came all the way from California and Michigan (respectively) to see Cinnamon in her new home. We know we can’t replace Cinnamon’s beloved human, but we hope we can make her feel happy and safe.
