I never hope to see one
But I can tell you here and now
I’d rather see than be one
—–Gillett Burgess
For those who do want to see one, here is a video of a purple calf born in Serbia. From the looks of things, I’d rather not be any form of life in Serbia.
I had to strain to see purple but I’ll take their word for it. Milka, A Swiss chocolate company using a purple cow logo believes it. After hearing about the purple calf, the company sent dozens of boxes of chocolate to the farmers. Milking It
Looks like the Milka brand is only available overseas. From their UK website:

Our cows are so friendly and would love to make Mooo Mates with you. They’ll share their Alpine tales, and make sure you’re the first to get free samples and priority access to competitions and games.
Whether you’d rather be stargazing with Gertrude or playing hopscotch with Heidi, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect Mooo Mate. Welcome to the herd!
How friendly.
Well, the calf is very cute, but it looks more lavender than purple to me. But then, I guess a lavender cow is unusual, too! 🙂
