Happy Cows Have Best Friends

Having a good group of friends make life so much better. This is true even for cows. As seen with the auntie herd, cows are more than capable of supporting and being there for one of their own, especially after they've given birth.

The Humane League says that, like humans, cows actually do have best friends ! This is because they're herd animals, always surrounded by other cows. From birth, they have a desire to bond with other cows, actually seeking out contact to groom or spend time together. It's not only a physical connection, it's emotional, also like humans.

The organization says cows in giant herds even develop preferences for specific herd mates, likely with those that have a similar disposition. They're capable of forming lifelong friendships with cows that think and love they way they do. It's a pretty special thing to watch the way they decide who their favorites are.

It's no wonder all the aunties came to bless the new calf—it takes a village to raise a baby and this one's no different. These ladies are the truest meaning of besties for life!
