If he’s the one popping out calves then she made the right choice.
Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️
Maybe its just cause I’m high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I’m thinking about finding a rancher friend.
Only after they’ve been washed off. Or dry cleaned. Or whatever, IDK, I’m from Chicago.
The moms lick them clean after birth, and if you’re expecting any animal to be clean I got bad news for ya.
Bonus fun fact the cows tend to eat the afterbirth as well. Source grew up on a farm/ranch, if you want gross learn about prolapse. Guess who had skinny arms as a teenager and got to help keep cows alive till the vet came and had two thumbs? This guy… not sure I should be proud of what I had to do but yeah cows is expensive.
There’s a dairy farm somewhat close to me that let’s you pet the cows and watch them get milked. It’s pretty cool.
I should have heeded your warning. I swear man, the people on this website can be some of the least fun people on the internet on a pretty regular basis.
yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️
there’s gotta be something nice to look at instead!
You’re upset some people don’t find it cute to separate baby cows from their mothers immediately following birth?
Have you heard a mother cow screaming for their newborn before?
This is just like saying theres no problem with exotic animal zoos.
When animals are treated as property and a means to make money, inhumane things happen. Then those people pretend they didnt happen, and put the animal bits in nice packages that have pictures of happy animals in fields on them.
Damn.
That farmer must have legs for days to have so many calves.
Maybe you being busy with birthing 15 calves in the last 48 hours is the reason why dating a rancher is a hassle?
Who wants to pet calves?
Someone that doesn’t know the mamma has her head down and is contemplating murdering their dumbass.
Friendly reminder that cows are one of the five most lethal mammals (mostly due to there being LOTs of cows, but meh)
Psychopaths who don’t care that the calves are immediately being separated from their mothers for slaughter and for higher milk production.
Trauma all around.
Fake and not gay enough. Separating calves from their moms reduces, not increases, milk production.
It has even been proven that cows have their clique and just their company affects how much they produce.
