Scrub cattle grazing away on Kodiak Island in Alaska. The island has a
long history
of cattle raising, which, unfortunately, has not always been so successful
since the
cows have to defend themselves against bears. Photograph taken not too far
from the town of Kodiak.
Some big horned Mbororo cattle, which I photograhed in the
Central African Republic near the town of Mobaye.
The herder said he raps unruly cows with his walking stick to keep them in
line. Though
when I saw them the cows were as calm and gentle as could be. These are
similar to
the Watusi, which is in my guide.
With only 28 blue cows in existence, this is one of the rarest cows in
the world. According to local story, a mermaid first brought these cows
with her from the ocean when she fell in love and married a farmer.
Photograph taken near Liepaja.
The Latvian Brown gives incredibly delicious rich milk and no wonder look at all that lush pasture. And my grandparents, Reinholds Gustavs and Anna Pukite, with their Latvian Brown Bull, which also served as the stud bull for the neighboring farms. Both photos taken near Daksti.
A photo of a most contented cow, a red and white holstein, chewing her cud in paradise. Photograph on Oahu Island at Kualoa Ranch - the same place where they filmed 'Jurassic Park'.
