  • Cows take great care of their calves. During pregnancy, they display behaviors such as nesting to protect their unborn offspring. Then After giving birth, cows show a nurturing side. This side involves licking their calves clean, encouraging them to stand and nurse, and protecting them from danger.
  • Cows recognize their calves by scent and vocalizations. This also tells us that there is a strong bond that lasts beyond the initial days of life.

Communication and Vocalization
