[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1376270, member: 24027"] On a side note: One of my friends brought her twins out a couple years ago, the daughter is autistic. It was during calving season, our head cow had calved probably 3 days prior & had her calf nestled in straw about 10 yards away. The autistic daughter had no fear when I walked her up to hand feed the cow (who was a massive 2100 lbs). I pointed out the new calf & the child immediately went over. The cow did nothing, simply watched. The child walked right up to the calf & plopped herself down next to it in the straw. The calf didn't move, the cow continued to watch. The child could not contain herself and flung her arms around the calf. Calf & cow still didn't move (but I was terrified). I'm convinced they somehow sensed this child was special, pure, and meant no harm. I've honestly never read much by Temple Grandin but I don't doubt the ability to connect with animals at a level most people cannot understand. [/QUOTE]
