Anyone here have experience with cows?
Next to my house there were these 3 cows, a mother and two calves doing cow things in a field. The calves are quite big now, but still look fairly young.
Last week someone came to take the old cow away, probably to "euthanize" it for meat. The calves keep mooing, was a bit painful to see to be honest.
Problem is, even now, some seven days later, the calves will moo, sometimes in the middle of the night, and I don't know if I'm projecting, but it's getting a bit crushing to hear them and feeling like they're calling out for the mom. They had time to forget about the separation already, right? I mean, how fucking smart can they be?
Don't know what to do, I've thought about everything, from moving, to hanging myself in the garage. This sure triggered some weird synapses.

Cows are actually pretty damn smart. They actually have damn long memories. You'll probably be listening to that shit for a while.
That dog died :(

Three cows really isn't very many. Cattle are a social prey animal and are happier in numbers. It's easy to see them miss a herd member more when there's fewer of them, but even cattle and horses in herds of hundreds will have their circles.
They're visibly content in a crowded feedlot as opposed to singled out: separated cows seriously freak the fuck out.
