To most students of the Torah, the narrative in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers) about the red heifer, a cow that is the key to purification of individuals and vessels used in the Holy Temple, is purely theoretical.
But it is taken very seriously by members of the Temple Institute, an organization in Jerusalem that is busy making preparations for the day that a third Temple will be rebuilt.
The
ashes of the red heifer are necessary for the final preparation of the
sacred vessels to be used in the Holy Temple, and for the purification
of the kohanim (Temple priests) who will serve in the Holy Temple.
Recently, the theoretical turned to the possible when it was reported that a purely red cow was born in January on a farm in Arkansas. The owners of the red heifer, known as the parah adumah in Hebrew, contacted the Temple Institute to share the news
and receive instructions concerning the proper care of the animal.
The Temple Institute contacted a professional documentary film producer
who provided this exclusive footage of the red heifer.

Another fable. Red cows are very common. In fact, there are several all red breeds including the Red Angus among others. Old Cowboy
