I recently bought this certified Black Angus bull for $6,500.
He would not even look at a cow when I let him out with the herd; instead, he would just eat grass.
That bull was starting to look like more than I had paid for him. In any case, I asked the veterinarian to examine him.
The bull, he observed, was maybe a touch young, but otherwise in excellent health.
I was given certain medications by him to give him once a day.
In just two days, the bull began tending to all of my cows! He even managed to go beyond the fence and mated with every cow owned by my neighbor!
He resembles a machine. I’m not sure what was in the tablets that the veterinarian gave him. Nonetheless, they have a peppermint-like flavor.
50 Iconic and Rare Historical Photographs
We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.
These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!
