Mama Cow 'Refuses' to Share New Calf with Human Like the Best Little Protector
If you ever come across a mother cow and her calf, do not just assume that you can walk up to her child and play with them as though they were your own children.
After all, mother cows can be fiercely protective of their young. As you can see from the video, Phoenix the cow did not want this human going anywhere near her baby.
From the get-go, you can tell by Phoenix's expression that she was not having any of this. This woman approached her and her baby out of nowhere, babbling on about milk, and Phoenix was clearly like, "I'm a cow. Don't tell me about milk."
Additionally, after both Phoenix and her adorable baby stared at this woman with expressions that were south of blank but north of agitated, she continued to get closer to the baby while flapping her gums about if he was going to get more milk from his mama.
Phoenix very politely tried to ignore this rudeness, focusing on licking her young calf to make sure he was clean, hoping that she would take a hint and leave them alone. But nevertheless, this woman persisted.It was at this point that Phoenix decided that it was just best to walk away. She led her calf away down the pasture, leaving this talkative woman completely flabbergasted, still unable to understand that she did not want anyone going near her child.
When it comes to mother cows and their young, it is important to realize that these beautiful bovines have very strong maternal instincts. They have very deep bonds with their young and do not want anyone around who might threaten them, or even just annoy them.
Now, we don't think the woman in this video poses a threat of any kind. However, she did underestimate how much Phoenix would tolerate her in the presence of her young calf. And apparently, this woman has a knack for agitating cows, as you can see in this other video.
We actually side with the woman on this one. After all, that is another cow's calf. This woman was right to ask her what Ci Ci the cow was doing with that baby. We don't think that Ci Ci was in the right to take her frustrations out on that poor baby.
Fortunately, there is no indication that this calf was hurt when Ci Ci kicked them. Hopefully, this kind of behavior is not too frequent on this farm.

‘Kid rotting': why parents are letting their children go wild this summer
Name: Summer kid rotting. Age: The name is new, but long school summer holidays started spreading in the 1840s, thanks to the US educational reformer Horace Mann. Appearance: Laidback and a little messy. What's this Kid Rot then? Does have a brother? No, it's a 2025 way of describing 'letting your kids do nothing in the summer holidays', also known as a 'wild summer'. American parents are fighting back against (or giving up on) expensive, overscheduled summers of camps and activities for their offspring. 'What if, some are daring to wonder, my kid does nothing?' the New York Times reported. A return to the old ways, huh? When I was young, we were sent out with a penknife, a tin of pipe tobacco and a bottle of dandelion and burdock on the day school broke up. It was strongly suggested we should not return home until 1 September. No, you weren't. No, OK, we weren't. , watching TV and fighting. We'd have loved expensive, overscheduled summers! Well, some US parents are sick of paying through the nose to keep their kids out of trouble – one interviewed by the NYT spent $40,000 (£30,000) on occupying her three children for eight weeks. Inflation is making summer camps unaffordable for many: a survey found 30% of parents go into debt or defer payments. And while the situation isn't as bad in the UK, it's still a struggle for parents: research last year found UK summer childcare costs £1,000 a kid on average. Ouch! And kids don't even seem to enjoy organised summer stuff much: 'It was a fight every day to get them to go,' one parent told the NYT. 'He cried every single day at drop-off,' a journalist at the Cut said of her son's summer camp. Related: Readers reply: Should schools take a long summer break – or does it harm children's learning? Maybe a bit of boredom isn't so bad. Being bored is being rebranded as the better option for pushy parents. 'I tell them their kid will be more 'ahead' with their own experimentation,' a US educational consultant reassures her anxious clients. But 'their experimentation' will be whatever the algorithm decides – kids will be glued to YouTube, won't they? Yes, screen time is a concern, and if the little darlings manage to enable in-app purchases, your iPad could prove a more expensive babysitter than the fanciest camp. If they're going to be screen rotting all day every day, parents could at least put them to work - give them a bitcoin and a day-trading account and see how much money they can make by September. A bitcoin is currently worth 81 grand – you'd get a lot of fancy summer camps for that. Do say: 'We're having a wild summer.' Don't say: 'Yeah, we're going large at Glasto, microdosing in Mykonos, then an ayahuasca retreat in Peru. What are the kids doing? No idea.'
