Mama Cow Couldn’t Stop Crying All Night Over Her Missing Baby. But When They Reunite It’s INCREDIBLE
This is Karma the cow’s story. Her rescue stemmed from an animal cruelty case in which her owner failed to provide her with any food, water, or shelter. She arrived extremely stressed out and malnourished to Gentle Barn and kept crying out, mooing all night long.
At first rescuers couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but they soon noticed she was dripping milk and then found out she’d recently had a baby, something her cruel owner had failed to mention. The volunteers set to work, eventually located Karma’s baby, and rushed out to pick him up. As soon as the trailer pulled up Karma instinctively sensed and knew that her newborn was inside of it.
Her reaction is both heart-warming and heart-breaking all at once. At first her poor calf stumbled and fell over from weakness, stress, and being away from his mother and her milk for so long. But he finally gets to her and as she checks him over he starts nursing right away, which is exactly what he needs.
You have to see the video to truly understand how heart wrenching and awesome it is to see mother and son reunited and safe. According to the Gentle Barn website, Karma is a great mother and the foundation managed to save 2 of her sons, the one you see in the video is one of them!
The Gentle Barn Foundation is dedicated to saving animals and educating children. Their staff and volunteers work tirelessly to help rescue and rehabilitate animals who have been severely abused, neglected, or abandoned. It started out as one woman’s dream and has since grown into a sanctuary program with two locations in the United States.
The original one is in Santa Clarita, California and the second opened in Knoxville, Tennessee. There are currently over 170 animals including horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, and more, who call Gentle Barn home.
Every animal they rescue gets a second chance at life. They often take in some of the most severely abused ones and many of the animals living there suffer from sickness, deformity, old age, and blindness. They arrive scared and mistrusting of all humans and their rehabilitation immediately begins.
It involves both traditional and non-traditional medicine, physical therapy, and volunteers provide them with ongoing emotional support. Over time they slowly start to regain their trust in people and come out of their protective shells. Once an animal has been fully rehabilitated it becomes an animal ambassador.
At risk children from foster care, mental health facilities, group homes, the inner city, and schools come to visit the farm and interact with the animals. They’re told about the animals stories and get to see first-hand how they overcame horrendous odds to become kind, gentle and trusting despite their past treatment.
The children often take away valuable lessons of compassion and courage, and for many it is a form of therapy in and of itself. Pass on Karma’s story and help spread the word about the incredible work Gentle Barn does!

Little Girl Got Caught Bringing Her Cow Inside The House. Her Excuse Is Unexpectedly Delightful!
Kids are full of surprises and are constantly testing the limits to see what they can get away with. A lot of the time young children manage to get off with just a warning, mainly because they are innocent and not wise to the ways of the world.
So when one little girl decided to let her favorite cow in the house she naturally thought she could get away with it. After all, it was cold outside and it really isn’t that big of a deal. However, her mom was pretty shocked when she came home to find the big cow chewing on some hay and laying on the floor of her house.
Instead of freaking out, yelling, or shooing the cow outside, the little girl’s mother recorded the cute moment and attempted to get to the bottom of her story. She calmly asks her daughter how and why the cow was in the house.
The 5 year old girl tries to explain that she had opened the door and was looking the other way when the cow snuck in. But the girl see’s her mother isn’t buying it so she switches gears and tells her mom that the cow pooped but she cleaned it up already. Basically, she had it all under control and mom shouldn’t be so worried about a little, gentle cow on the porch.
The whole time the cow is sitting peacefully on the rug next to the family dog. It seems like this cow may have done this before, so perhaps this is just the first time the girl got caught red-handed. The best part of the video is when the girl cuddles up to her bovine buddy, resting against its side belly, with the cow’s head in her lap. The adorable twosome look so snugly and comfy together, and that’s when mom forgets how wrong it is that the girl let the cow inside in the first place!
Some things are just too precious and rare to pass by. When your 5 year old daughter brings a cow inside, curls up with it, and the cow falls fast asleep; that is one of those moments. This was such a happy, feel good video and it reminded me of my childhood so much. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

The Humans In This Car Feed This Cow A Pickle. How He Reacts I Can’t Stop Laughing!
Okay, get ready to laugh hysterically and be slightly grossed out. This wacky cow has an unusual affinity for pickles! I’m not quite sure where these people were parked enjoying their lunch in their car, when an unexpected guest entered through the passenger window. A giant cow enter stage left, humans prepare for some warm cow breath!
This hilarious heifer sticks her head in the window where the woman is enjoying her pickle, which she gladly shared with the cow. She wasn’t quite prepared by his demonstrative manner of displaying his gratitude. This cow was very thankful but it may need some table manner training and some southern hospitality!
Out popped the longest tongue to slobber all over the woman in thanks for the pickle. I’m not sure if he was thanking her or licking the pickle juice off her face. The hilarity ensued as that tongue kept coming back for more. He must have really had a craving for salt. This video is absolutely hysterical. It totally made my day! Enjoy!

Cow Gives Birth To Something So Rare That It Only Happens 1 Time Out of 11 Million
In the human world multiple births are quite common and on the rise. This trend can be mainly attributed to advances in the science behind conceiving and artificial insemination. However, multiple births are few and far apart among other animal species where more than one baby happens to share a womb.
For cows, having twins or triplets is extremely uncommon and quadruplets are even more rare. In fact, veterinarians have pegged the odds of a cow giving birth to four calves at one in 11.2 million.
To put that into perspective, in 2013 the chances of conceiving triplets or more was 1:837 for human couples and it’s estimated that more than 90% of quadruplets born are because of fertility drugs.
That’s a huge difference and so when one cow gave birth to four baby calves in De Kalb, Texas two years ago it was a newsworthy event. The owner of the pregnant cow, Jimmy Barling, was completely taken aback and astounded when he witnessed her push out the three healthy little bull calves and one heifer. He said that “ We knew she was pregnant, but we didn’t know she was going to do this. This was a shock. This blew our minds.”
Mr. Barling’s granddaughter ended up naming the quadruplets Eeny. Meeny, Miny, and Moo. While they were all born relatively healthy, they were on the small size which is to be expected. The normal average weight for a newborn calf is around 75 pounds and they each weighed in at considerably less than that, with Meeny being the smallest at about 25 pounds.
After the birth the three male calves were re-homed with neighbors because their mother was unable to nurse all of them properly at the same time. Moo, the only female, ended up staying with her mom and all four calves are reportedly doing very well. You can check them out in the video and see pictures of how adorable they looked like shortly after being born. They’re so little and cute!

Mother Cow Kept Hiding Her Baby Calf. The Reason Tore My Heart Up!
At Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary in Australia a dairy cow named Clarabelle was acting nervous and not like her usual self. She paced around the paddock and seemed to have lost her normally strong appetite. Knowing she was pregnant and her baby due in about a week the sanctuary workers quickly honed in on an engorged teat and inferred she must have already given birth. But where was her baby? It was nowhere in sight and nothing gave any indication of where it could be.
After searching around for the baby they found the little brown calf carefully hidden in tall grass and brown logs. She was laying down and looked up with her big soft eyes innocently blinking and curious at the sight of them. Clarabelle had given birth, but must have done so awhile ago as there was no umbilical cord and the calf was clean and dry. She had hidden her baby.
Cows are best known in many places for producing milk and associated dairy products. In order to make that milk a cow must become pregnant and give birth to a calf, whom it will nurse. However, in the dairy industry young calves are taken away from their mothers shortly after birth so that the milk can instead be collected for human consumption.
This separation of mother and child is done early on so as to try and cause minimal stress to both but it is also done repeatedly in order to keep the cow producing milk. Clarabelle had tried to hide her calf to prevent it from being taken away, as time and again her calves had been in the past.
This time around Clarabelle will stay with her baby at the farm sanctuary. Her life has changed dramatically for now she is able to live alongside and nurse her calf the natural way. On a side note, Clarabelle’s calf was discovered on Valentine’s Day and named Valentine “in honor of the love between mother cows and their babies” according to the Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary website (http://www.edgarsmission.org.au/). Thanks to them and the work they do, Clarabelle and Valentine have a chance at leading happy and comfortable lives.
