A Short History of Irish Moiled Cattle: Thanks for this, Vicki!
We nearly lost them. Thanks to those who've brought them back. Wouldn't I love to have a few of these beauties grazing in the back.
From Bethu Brigte, the Irish Life of Saint Brigit:
5
When
it was time to wean her the druid was anxious about her; anything he gave her
[to eat] she vomited at once, but her appearance was none the worse. ‘I know’,
said the druid, ‘what ails the girl, [it is] because I am impure.’ Then a white
red-eared cow was assigned to sustain her and she became well as a result.
Perhaps I'll change my name to Moil (Maol) Brigde...
