Life Storm Abstract
(Benoit Hermant)
Anxiety filling his eyes, Mario got closer from the vet who was examining Belladonna, the cow he was so proud of. So proud that he had been eager to safeguard her caracteristics and had her to calve as soon as it had been possible, which happened only two month before. He had also chosen the father, a strong bull with perfect genetics which will bless him with a vigourous progeny. But fate seemed to have decided against him. It was much too early and, however, Belladonna had begun to deliver her newborn. The surgeon had been categoric about it and, besides, Mario had been perfectly able to realise what was going on. For the young calf, no chance of survival. On the other hand, the mother could perfectly recover from this premature delivery and the vet was here to make sure that the blue-ribbon in Mario's herd would be able to give birth anew after this first failure. The breeder looked at the beast with a gaze full of love and doing this, he could read the pain in her dark brown eyes. Belladonna was perfectly aware of what was happening to her and she shared her sorrow with this man who had cherished her since she was born among the argentinian pampas. With a last contraction, Belladonna expulsed the lifeless foetus that could have been her son under other circumstances. But she knew something her owner ignored. She knew it instinctively, the way she knew everything else. In spite of all the efforts the vet would make, the splendid beast would never be able to give life again, to make this priceless present too many men are underestimating, be it the one of an animal, of an entire species or even of their likes. Mario's elder son Emilio bolted into the stables. Rosetta the second carrying cow in the herd was also showing disquieting signs of early delivery. Mario wondered what he could have done wrong and he prayed ardently the sky to protect his farm from further suffering. He couldn't imagine at this very moment that he shared his prayers with all the breeders in the region and beyond. Exhausted Belladonna fell asleep on the straw watching her master imploring his own one, kneeled on the floor. She dreamt she was a mother.
