Rescued Male Calves Suckle on Each Other - The Impact of Early Separation from Mothers
In this video, we observe a fascinating yet little-known behavior in orphaned dairy calves-redirected suckling. These calves were rescued on their way from a dairy farm to a slaughterhouse and are now in a safe environment. However, due to early separation from their mothers and limited natural nursing opportunities, they display redirected suckling, a common behavior where calves attempt to satisfy their natural instinct by suckling on objects, body parts, or even other calves.
🔎 Why Does This Happen?
Dairy calves are often separated from their mothers at birth.
Bottle-fed or bucket-fed calves miss out on natural suckling, which can lead to stress and oral fixation behaviors.
Calves may suck on ears, navels, or even testicles as a form of comfort.
This behavior can be reduced with proper enrichment, fiber-rich diets, and access to appropriate suckling alternatives.

    Cats in cat age tho are older . 1 year makes cats several years old. So to compare a cat vs kitten to babies kind of not right. BUT in all they can learn equivalent to a baby or toddler. Yet dogs can actually learn small child amount of speech.

    Regarding snorts: a short sort of soft snort is the equivalent of a sneeze. For this reason, horses use snorts to communicate. A strong, moderate length snort means the horse is ill or in pain. When my horse does this, he usually then points to what ails him - a hoof with an abscess, for example. They may also use this call to comment on illness in others. If i am not present at the barn for an extended period, when i show up again my guy gives the illness snort as if to say, "Were you sick?!" During COVID, if I showed up at the barn wearing a mask, the herd would snort at me and in one remarkable instance tried actively to separate me from my horse, as they understood the concept of quarantine and to them, I was Contagion! 😂🎉 They also learned the word "Covid", likened it to the word "coughing", especially i suppose because prople who had it coughed a lot, and would intersperse their snorts with coughs. I'm not making this up! A short, sharp snort means "death". It can also mean "predator," as when my horse heard coyotes howling and made the sound. He has also extended that definition to all carnivores, as in dogs and cats particularly. My horse had a name for my late mother, a long, moderate snort that seemed to mean, "the old, sick one." Thing is, she didn't look that old nor seem that sick when she would visit him and feed him carrots. When she died, he comforted me by giving this very long, soft, low snort as if to say, "she was sick for a long time."

I want to know so much more - like learning the names of the anatomy, the gross anatomy, of horses; the different ways they have of moving and what they are called; their temperaments; etc etc. I wish I could do like my 13 year old granddaughter and learn how to properly ride and all about the tack that is used for different purposes. I guess I just need to keep on studying from the computer. Thank you so much for this video and any others you put out.

    The horse uses his ears to sense a reason for running, how do they adjust their instincts for fight or flight response? Perhaps he asked,"Why am I running?" I think it would be interesting to add music 🎶, and not just have people standing around looking at him.

      Yeah at the farm where I boarded my gelding for more than a decade, for years the alpha female elected by the herd was this massive, gorgeous female Percheron who was very docile and didn't want the job. So the barn owner's dominant gelding took over and even had a little police force of about five other horses that would make sure the herd was all settled into its place for the night, who evaluated and would accost intruders-- myself included at times. Fortunately, we'd made friends!😂🎉

      Hi Goodmeasure! Thanks for watching. It's usually used to keep horses warm or dry during cold/rainy weather, but thinner ones are used during the summer months to keep flies off the horses, and to keep their coats from being bleached in the sun.
