Matilda

Lidia and Matilda, mother and daughter, are two Friesian cows who lived in a calf feedlot. Until today, since she was born, Lidia had no luck; being cow and female in this society is a heavy scourge; her body was already condemned and really her entire life just by being born on a farm.

Lidia has been exploited for more than twenty years; he has been inseminated in each of his heats, he has fathered a son after each of the inseminations and this one was stolen within minutes of touching the cold concrete floor of any corner of the farm, after months of connection with him , awaiting his arrival, preparing his body to feed it.

We were told that Lidia had given birth to a little calf that had become ill, fate caused this inconvenience to touch the hearts of her executioners who, after twenty years of sentence, decided to release her. Thus began the new life of the two survivors.
