    My grandfather had to sell a cow we had for a long time and we all loved. When she went to the sale barn, as we were leaving, she heard the truck motor and head and shoulders she rose up above the others, bawling for us. We all cried all the way home. If I had had the money I would have paid my grandpa to keep her at home.

    Cows are very intelligent and fast learners. My ox, Dozer, comes to a whistle like you see some horses do in movies but he is a 1 ton Holstein steer. He is also trained to ride like a horse and knows many voice commands and cues. Just the other day we had to tow a pickup truck up the road backwards and Dozer noticed. He has seen many vehicles and them being towed normally (forwards) but when he saw that one in reverse he tried to figure it out and ran up to the fence and started mooing at it saying it was doing it wrong LOL. He looked at us in the towing truck then back at the backwards truck several times, and almost looked distressed at it. It amazed me that as a cow he would notice such a small change as being towed forwards and backwards.

    One thing this program failed to cove was cow's strong attraction to music. No matter if the instrument was guitar, flute, bagpipes, or even piano (yes somebody even set up a piano in the corner of a field), the cows would always gather closely and listen carefully, rhey'd stop eating and would remain still while the music was being performed.
    There's some YT videos showing this too.. very amazing. Music appreciation generally equates to higher intelligence, so It says something that cows behave that way...

    Cows have friends. They wait for each other at gates, graze together, and sadly, mourn when one or the is gone. They're afraid of the dark, doing much better physically and give a good 10% more milk if there is a light on in the barn overnight. Throw in music - and don't laugh - they like Mozart, and the milk production goes up even higher. Stroppy cows are better behaved too, with lights and music.

    When we brought in a heifer before her first calf she had to learn which stall was hers. We'd bring the herd in and they'd walk in choosing their stall with never a mistake. Then in came the heifer and we'd coax her into her stall. After a couple days of mistakes she'd know her stall for the rest of her life.
    Each pair of cows had their own drinking cup which would hold a couple quarts of water. It had a paddle in it when pushed the water would run filling the cup until the cow was done. A new heifer would have to be shown how to get water. A couple days of pushing the paddle for her she'd understand how to get water. It helped that the other cow would push for water so the hiefer would know it came out but hadn't gotten the mechanics down.
    In the spring when the cows went out day and night the drinking cups would all be tied up because the got their water at one of the water tanks outside. The cows would fuss with the cups off and on for a day or two until they'd ignore the cups. Then when the weather would get cold and the cows stayed in the cups would be used again. The cows that had used their cups the previous winter knew how to get water with no training at all.
    Anyone who thinks cows aren't smart are just ignorant. But I love cows so take that into account.

Then sent him off for murder. Could you not provide a place for these poor animals to retire? I mean put the poor guy out to pasture, let him live off grass & a bit of hay, let him sleep outside if you don't want to provide an indoor place. After serving you all their lives, can't they get their few last years to live until natural death? They aren't humans who live to 80, they live maybe 15 years. Surely you could put them to pasture a few years & let them live? But no, these farmers, like most people, worship money. All for them, nothing for the animals. Keep posting like this, bust these bastards chops, show them there are people out there who have hearts & intelligence. Humans are deplorable the way they treat other animals, animals are Sacred.

      The difference is that when the cows were called for food, they associated SOMEONE ELSE doing something that brought them food. In this experiment, they are trying to see if the cows will take the initiative to 'do something' that will cause more food to come. They are not 'calling' the cows with a bell instead of a voice, but leaving a device in their environment and then trying to make the cow understand that if the cow just wanders by and rings the bell, food will come - any time, based on THEIR initiative, not the initiative of a human being calling them at set times of day.

      They don't 'give' us anything - we take it! I feel sorry for cows. I don't admire them for their wonderful 'gifts' since we basically destroy their natural instincts and ultimately kill them to extract those 'gifts.' Giving cows credit? I call bullshit. That's kindergarten thinking ('Our Friend the Cow' and all the 'gifts' we 'get' from the nice cows). Give 'credit' to human beings figuring out how to utterly exploit an animal to the point that not a single bit of that animal is not sacrificed for human consumption or convenience. They are pure animal sacrifices by humans, just no longer burnt up as an offering to the gods - apart from the gods of consumerism and materialism.

    • @EC2019
      @EC2019 4 роки тому

      A breeding bull on a commercial farm is not a pet. If a persistently lame bull can't breed and starts losing money, no sane farmer can afford to pour more money into treating ongoing lameness on the off-chance it might get better. All the while it's not able to breed cows, no guarantee it will ever breed cows again, and it's costing more and more to feed and house. Cattle on a beef farm must bring in more money than they cost to keep. Otherwise the farmer must cut their losses, slaughter, and recycle the money earned from the beef back into buying a more productive breeding animal to replace the one lost. Being soft-hearted and treating livestock like pets will end up making the farmer homeless.

    What's strange about this experiment is these people's thoughts about cows. My grandfather had a cattle ranch and as a kid, I would play around them. I grew up believing cows to be thinking animals and nothing these people did to prove it surprised me. My girlfriend also grew up around cattle and saw them as I did. Over the years as adults push their narratives concerning not only cattle but animals, in general, we came to accept some of their ideas, sort of. However, as I grew into my individual self, at around 50, I reverted back to my childhood beliefs. My father who was then 75 began to see things as I did and became kinder and more in tune with animals in general. He stopped killing them.

    When we were little we'd fight over which cow belonged to who. My brother would decide which cow was his cow and my sister the same. Then we'd boost each other on top while they were in the barn and sit and scratch and rub them. Then when it was time to let them out Dad would open the stanchions and they'd all head outside to eat some more. Dairy cows eat, drink water, eat, lay down or stand around chewing cut, eat some more get milked while eating then go outside lay down chew cud then do it all over again. All they do is eat. They have to eat and drink a lot to produce milk.
    So the cows would go out and we'd ride them out into the pasture. If they decided to lay down we'd lie down with them draped over the top.
    The reason they were so tame was due to handling them every day since they were born being fed milk twice a day as calves. Every calf was trained to lead from day one so when they got older and we'd decide to show them at the county fairs or state fairs there was no trouble with training.
    We learned from day one that no matter if the cow was your cow, my cow or her cow if the cow couldn't stay they went to the either the butcher or the stock yards. We'd be sad but we always knew there was always another coming along to fill its place.

They mutilate us. They impregnate us. They take babies from mothers. They send us to slaughter once we stop making money. Do you think that those aliens were acting in a morally good way? Do you really not believe that it would be morally better if they didn't do that? If, rather than raising and killing humans, they ate plants. Wouldn't that be a better world?

  • @FigaroHey
    @FigaroHey 2 роки тому

    The fact that the cow hears the bell and comes for food is no different from the cow hearing the farmer coming out with the bucket or seeing the bucket. It's just a simple association with food and the person calling 'hey cows, come for food!' or banging on a bucket of food or whatever. Simple association. Nothing to get excited about because all animals do that: they associate what they see or hear with food. Duh. The problem is, has the cow even realized that she's the one ringing the bell? They accidentally bump into the bell when they are eating the food. They don't 'know' that they are hitting something with their noses that makes the bell ring. So it's a straightforward association: they don't 'make' the farmer come banging a bucket and shouting, 'Here, cows!' and they don't 'make' the bell ring (as far as they know). The problem is really, 'Do cows take the initiative to DO SOMETHING that will bring food?' For example, do they bellow for food when they are hungry, and then associate their own bellowing with the farmer coming with food? If they do something like that - if bellowing is not just an instinctive noise of distress, not associated with making anything 'happen' as a result - then the cow should not be able to learn to 'do something' - like ringing a bell - to make food happen.

They do look very much like Charolais and both originated in France I believe. When I was a young man I worked on a dairy off and on for eight years where our main cows were Holstein with a few Jersey and Guernsey added in for a better butter fat content. All the cows had personalities which I could associate with girls I knew in high school. Some are dumb as rocks while others are smart as a whip, not that I knew any girls who were dumb as rocks.
