Do cows understand dancing? Because in this video:

https://is-the-cow-video-bad.tumblr.com/post/673758901271986176/pretty-typical-dairy-calf-set-up-these-babies-are

I noticed that the calves seem to jump side to side while looking at the keeper. Your addition of "They seem happy" implies that this isn't an aggressive behavior, so what are they doing?

Cows jump around as a sort of playbowing behavior so based on that and my own experience dancing around my cows like a weirdo that would be my guess

These are older calves, jerseys are notorious for continuing to suck into adulthood and some cows just like to suck on ears. I have a cow that does it to her herdmates and calves. This is fine

She was probably fighting with the other cows and got head-butted into the trough, and then didn’t bother to stand up because grain wasn’t right there

Nothing bad here. Just cows being cows

Pretty typical dairy calf set up, these babies are about to be weaned and moved to a group pen. Nice clean thick straw. They seem happy

If you see a video of someone playing/roughhousing with a baby calf, it’s important to ask yourself “is this something that will still be cute and not scary when the animal weighs 1500 pounds”

The calf is probably having fun! But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a good thing.

It’s really cute when you’re bottle feeding an adorable baby bull and he bunts your legs and chases you!

It’s not so cute when he grows into a Very Much Not Baby bull with horns and testosterone and the knowledge that ramming people with his head and charging them is a thing he can do!

(This ABSOLUTELY applies to heifers too)

little-bullheaded-shit asked:

Is it true you should never pet a cow on the head because it'll swing it's head and kill you? Also how aggressive are they on average? I live on a small farm and I know yeah any animal can be aggressive (A horse gifted me a divet in my thigh) but I've never owned a cow. Where could I learn some basic information about em? Everything I've been seeing is how they're giant puppies. I just want some unbiased answers.

Great blog btw, you're very informative 👍

Petting a calf on the head can teach them to headbutt. This can be especially problematic with bottle-raised bull calves. Pressure on their head is a dominance thing so they might interpret it as sparring or an invitation to roughhouse. With older cattle I don’t think it’s a big problem - I pet my moos on the head.

Cattle aren’t that aggressive - Dairy breed bulls tend to be the worst because of the combination of being bottle babies and not afraid of people, and being 2000 pounds of testosterone. Mama beef breeds with newborns are also not to be tampered with. Otherwise you’re safe

For the cow behind the door, the do have a barn! If you go to the page you see the owner had built fence for her pretty large yard (im not sure how big, I had seen this on tiktok a while ago and scrolled thru her page breifly) and shes been acclimating the cow to live in the barn. She's definitely dedicated to giving her cow all it needs even when she's grown

That’s good. I figured, people don’t generally impulse buy calves

ilyushkas-world asked:

do you still eat meat/are you vegan ? not saying you have to be vegan to like cows, just wondering if you personally feel that way or not ^^

I’m a farmer - I have my own herd of nurse cows (though most are more pets than livestock - my girls are with me for life) and I raise and sell feeder calves. So, technically, a beef farmer (although all my cattle are dairy breeds (bull calves) or dairy crosses) Not vegan.

is it inhumane to not euthanize a calf thats born without bones? also is there any reason why anon is off

Yes. It’s inhumane to not euthanize any cow who can’t walk and interact with the herd normally.

Nah but I think I’ll keep it off

There’s genuinely more abusive videos online of basically any non-livestock species lol makes my job easy

is-the-cow-video-bad

Probably because if you piss a chihuahua off it’s like “haha funny cute :)” and you survive

If you piss off a cow you won’t be alive to post the Tiktok

Probably Not
