The moms lick them clean after birth, and if you’re expecting any animal to be clean I got bad news for ya.
Bonus fun fact the cows tend to eat the afterbirth as well. Source grew up on a farm/ranch, if you want gross learn about prolapse. Guess who had skinny arms as a teenager and got to help keep cows alive till the vet came and had two thumbs? This guy… not sure I should be proud of what I had to do but yeah cows is expensive.
I should have heeded your warning. I swear man, the people on this website can be some of the least fun people on the internet on a pretty regular basis.
You’re upset some people don’t find it cute to separate baby cows from their mothers immediately following birth?
Have you heard a mother cow screaming for their newborn before?
This is just like saying theres no problem with exotic animal zoos.
When animals are treated as property and a means to make money, inhumane things happen. Then those people pretend they didnt happen, and put the animal bits in nice packages that have pictures of happy animals in fields on them.
Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️
Maybe its just cause I’m high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I’m thinking about finding a rancher friend.
Only after they’ve been washed off. Or dry cleaned. Or whatever, IDK, I’m from Chicago.
We dry clean them. Otherwise they shrink.
So you’re more familiar with the end stage of the process.

There’s a dairy farm somewhat close to me that let’s you pet the cows and watch them get milked. It’s pretty cool.
I’d prefer it if the cows petted me and watched me get milked
There’s conventions for that, you just need to bring your own costume.
Its possible theres an ethical dairy farm but ive yet to see one.

People need to stop eating meat and start eating vegans instead.
They are also delicious.
After a couple of week, maybe but not immediately.
