What an udderly dangerous situation.

Good thing the cops don't take calf measures

Of course, this could just be a case where the police got a little bossy


I think I have milked this enough

A very sad thing really.

We had cows when I was a kid, one of my chores was to care for them. From what I read, the cow was due to calf very shortly and felt unsafe in her present situation. Her panic was her only trying to find a safe place to birth her calf.

Our cows were well cared for, were not scared of us at all but without exception whenever one was about to calf she would lose herself from the herd and hide in a thicket. A few days later she would be back with a beautiful calf.
