Camilla Dead


Shocking news from my sister's farm today. Camilla the cow, who proudly gave birth to Parker in February, dropped dead yesterday in the field. My brother in law doesn't normally name the cows but she'd come from a different farm and was already named Camilla, was pregnant and the only female amongst all the boy cows. So when she gave birth to a bouncy calf they aptly named him Parker. But sadly on the eve of the
royal wedding she just collapsed leaving Parker an orphan. My sister has put him in a pen next to the horses, but he looked really sad when we went to visit today. The top picture is little Parker and the bottom are the rest of the herd (well some of them) sadly remembering that there once was a woman amongst them.
