The newest Lani Moo, seen at the Honolulu Zoo

HONOLULU –

After the passing of the former Lani Moo in April 2022, Meadow Gold Dairies searched for her replacement. A pure breed Jersey heifer, just over one year old, was hand selected by CEO, Bahman Sadeghi, and shipped and transported from Kohala on the Big Island to the Honolulu Zoo. The new Lani Moo’s lineage goes back to an English breed of small dairy cattle from the Isle of Jersey known for producing milk with higher protein and fat.

“We are pleased that we were able to find a new Lani Moo who can continue to serve the community by bringing joy to residents and visitors alike,” said Meadow Gold CEO Bahman Sadeghi. “Lani Moo’s mission is to educate children about milk and the importance of good health and nutrition. We are grateful for our partnership with the Honolulu Zoo that allows us to do this through the Lani Moo’s interactive and educational exhibits.”
Lani Moo has been Meadow Gold’s ambassador of health and nutrition for over 70 years, and the Honolulu Zoo has been the home of Lani Moo since 1996. While the new Lani Moo will be serving as a representative promoting good health at the zoo, her siblings will be on the farm in Kohala producing quality milk for Hawai‘i’s families. 

“We extend our huge mahalo and heartfelt appreciation to CEO Sadeghi and Meadow Gold Dairies for selecting the new Lani Moo to be included in the Honolulu Zoo family,” said Honolulu Zoo director Linda Santos. “We are very happy to have Meadow Gold’s beloved mascot, Lani Moo, housed at our Keiki Zoo once again, for children to meet and families to visit and enjoy.”
Zoo guests can visit Lani Moo in the Keiki Zoo yard next to the big red barn from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
