“And yet this lack of cows, however rational it may be, gives one the feeling that the fields and meadows, deprived of their phlegmatic, bemusedly ruminating presence, are pitifully empty.”.
Stanislaw Lem „THE FUTUROLOGICAL CONGRESS” sci-fi story from 1971

„Broken Bridge” Roan (03.2011 - 02.2017)
She was born in our stable. At first, every attempt to get her out turned into a panic and forced march. She was afraid of leaves, wind, birds. Her first delivery was very hard. The vet said that she would not be able to have more calves. This meant that „Roan” will have less and less milk. After 2 years she got udder infection and completely lost milk. But there is no waste on a farm. „Roan” was killed for the meat. Grandparents decided that it was their last cow.
