meet nigel
Meet Nigel - he is a very special sort of cow. Here on the farm their are 7 Hereford cows, 6 came from one herd and the lonely seventh he came from another - this is dear Nigel. He is always a few meters away, hiding in the background. He gets shoved around by his counterparts, they steal his hay, they make him walk behind them, they push him around. They really are big bullies these cows.
If Nigel was in the playground he would be the sort of kid left sitting on the benches. Gently eating his lunch, trying hard not to make a noise, quietly watching, subdued to the thought that this was his destiny. He would be a patient, gentle kind of kid - The sort most people don't take time to notice.
But here on the farm we have noticed. We have made Nigel our friend. We give him hay and push the other stealing cows away, we protect him, we make sure that he is not forgotten, sweet dear Nigel.
Oh Nigel, is rather cute. Adorable in fact! Reminds me of all the times I've made sure that the one-legged seagull gets food before the others. His face is just beautiful.
Oh he's beautiful but i'm thinking 'Nigel no friends' & it breaks my heart he's not one of the gang. Spoil him, why not!! Oh he's just gorgeous, love Posie
How lovely ... what a sweet looking cow. Every lonely cow should have a protector.
He is beautiful! He seems calm and shy, and his eyes are charming. I love the pictures!
oh isn't Nigel just a sweetheart! i bet he just loves all his human love!
such beautiful colors! i'm glad someone's looking out for him.
While reading about Nigel's struggles makes me sad, I'm so happy he has a nice and caring home. He is so much better off than so many other cows in the world. Lovely photos! Thank you for sharing.
Poor Nigel!!! Will they stop being mean to him with time? Or will this always be the case for sweet Nigel?
