I run a small herd of 28 mommas and 1 bull. I work away from home and as soon as I get home in the afternoon, I go straight to feed the cows. It washes away all the bs of work. You nailed it, there's just something about a momma cow tending to her baby and how they take turns babysitting that just warms my heart and washes away the stress of the office. Makes life worth living for!There's something about a momma cow tending her babies that just pulls my heart strings... A momma cow never yells at her baby, never scolds him for being bad, lets him (or her) beat the SNOT out of her udder without complaint, is always protective of him, and loves him to the moon and back, no matter what kind of butt-head the baby might be. There's nothing like the love of a mother cow, and a momma cow that takes orphans and loves them as her own is twice as lovable.
Above all else (including milk!), THAT is why I enjoy having cows so much. I can spend a few minutes watching a mom and her baby, and all my cares and bad feelings just melt away...
I have to respectfully disagree. There's nothing funnier than watching a mama cow chasing & bellowing after her calf when she's lost all control and the calf is full-out 20 mph and throwing kicks. Bonus points if the calf actually stops & looks at her, then proceeds to ignore her & run away. Again.A momma cow never yells at her baby, never scolds him for being bad,

She was.She wasn't a twin to a bull was she??? Sure hope not... she is just too much.
I know right?Noooooo! She's just going to end up at freezer camp? Well, I hope she's not quite as stinkin' cute when that day comes...
