The Blue Cows of Latvia
A rare breed of cow is now a symbol of Latvian pride- and it's blue! A hundred years ago, the blue cows were once numerous along the Baltic Sea. This hardy breed can stay outside through the winter if necessary, will thrive on coastal grasses that are inadequate for other cows, and they are so maternal that they will raise any orphan or abandoned calf. With the rise of the Soviet Union, it seemed as though the blue cow's days were over. The Soviets valued production over variety, and the blue cow does not produce milk in the quantities that other breeds do, so they were almost driven to extinction. In 2000, there were only 18 blue cows left.
A Steer on a Jet Ski
You'll probably never see a purple cow, but you will see one on a jet ski right here! Ollie the calf loves his human- so much that he learned to swim! That way he can spend more time playing with Teddy and the dogs Huck and Chewy. Ollie must think he's a dog, since he does whatever the dogs do, including boarding a boat. And a jet ski!
