Calf bull

 


Calf bull

Mr. Feili, who specializes in selling animals, made a deal with Fu Niang. The cows that were "culled" due to physical exhaustion and the young bulls became their trading items. Mr. Feeley made a lot of money by selling these low-priced cows to the beef market.

Mr. Feili purchased another batch of young bulls from Fu Niang Dairy Farm, and one of the young bulls was particularly cute.

Mr. Feely did not sell the young male cow to the beef market because Mr. Feely fell in love with Mr. Bridge's wife, Ellen, who was Mr. Feely's lover and an animal photographer and whom she adopted. Allen also named this little male cow "Call".

Alan took many excellent photos of the young male cow "Call". Kaul became her photographic model and appeared on the cover of Animals Illustrated.

During Allen's close contact with the young male cow "Call", he discovered that cows have strong and highly developed perceptions. Because cows' eyes are located on both sides of their heads, cows can see things around and behind them, with a field of view of more than 300 degrees compared to humans' field of vision of about 180 degrees. When they lower their heads to graze, their viewing angle can even be close to 360 degrees, giving them an almost panoramic view. They can see everything around them without turning their heads.

In addition, Allen found that cows' hearing is also very developed, close to that of dogs, so loud noises can make them feel depressed. In terms of smell, cows can smell smells up to 8 kilometers away. These senses make cows very susceptible to sensing danger or attack. But cows are red-green color blind, and these colors appear to them as shades of black and gray.

Cows are natural herbivores and can eat grass or other plants that suit their taste while walking. Their stomach structure is very complex and can be divided into 4 stomach chambers. This structure helps cows digest food efficiently.

Allen told Mr Feeley: Cows' lifestyle and food sources depend on humans. But no matter where they live, they need to eat and drink a lot. A cow needs about 25kg to 50kg of food and about 172 liters of water every day, which is about the water capacity of a bathtub. If there is not enough fresh grass in winter, cows can be given silage or dry feed, which contains more vitamins and minerals.

  Allen added: Cows, like all social animals, feel safe and comfortable when they are with their own kind. Cows can usually be closely related to 2 to 4 other cows within the same group. When given enough space, they will run, chase each other, and play with balls. Play is also a way for cows to get to know each other and become part of the group.

But the little male cow "Call" did not have the opportunity to have close contact with her fellow cows. The little male cow "Call" can only feel safe when he is with Allen.

Allen's husband, Mr. Bridge, bought a ferocious bull from Mr. Feeley and let the bull participate in the bullfight. As a result, his left eye was blinded by the bullfight, so he hated all cattle very much. .

As long as Allen is not around, Mr. Bridge will hit the young male cow "Call" with an animal training electric baton, and sometimes beat him with a stick or tree branch.

Mr. Bridge did not know that cows are also vengeful animals. The little male cow "Call" has buried his hatred for Bridge in his heart.

Mr. Feeley talked about these things with Allen, and he sang a ballad "Eye of the Sky" with emotion:

 

Animals naturally have their own nature,

People can coexist if they have feelings.

Animals and humans are enmity,

The beast will definitely take revenge.

 

God is watching when people are doing things.

Heaven has eyes to know good and evil.

You and I are destined to join hands,

Don’t let God’s will disappoint you and your heart will always be happy.

 

If a person looks at the world with blind eyes,

Chaos makes it difficult to see clearly.

If people look at each other with love,

There are thousands of emotions in my heart.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
