March 6th 2008 Baby Obama turned 1 month. I received her on February 14th 2008.
Before that she was abandoned by her mother we assume because the other cows cleaned her off or she was the heifer's first calf or the calf's eyes are white (birth defect). My boyfriend bung her home, he so I could care for her. I didn't want to, because unlike humans cows have to have first milk from their mother to live. But I did anyway. I got her some fake first milk from the Tractor Supply and nursed her every 4 hours for a month. She lived outside on my front porch inside a kid's tent. Yes it was messy and hard work, but she was just a baby. This video is just a glimpse of a few minutes of this calf's life.
The dog. Tracey is a mixed pit bull (WE THINK) from a rescue shelter if you would like to make a donation to them here is the web address. http://www.angelsofassisi.org/
Now for the sad part
Animals are unpredictable creatures, just from the comments I see people have no clue how instinctive they are. Tracey dog never showed any signs of rage or ill toward baby. Tracey Dog is a frog hunter that is right my dog enjoys hunting and playing with frogs till they die. She's a dog, it's an instinct, because she's a hunter and my son taught her to go into the creek and get them. Tracey dog is not aggressive and in any way violent, but she is a dog and dogs HUNT. That's nature!
The first week the cow would sleep in the tent and the dog didn't mind her much. She would lick the cows butt to help stimulate her bowls just like a mother cow, but other than that there was little to no interaction between the two. Again Tracy would lick her butt not to help the cow but to get rich stool from her. It's a dog and yes they eat poop, but in a since she was helping the calf. So, one evening I went with my boyfriend (I LEFT THE HOUSE) to feed the other cows. Tracey was inside with the family and the calf was on the porch. When I came home the calf was on the ground and Tracey was eating her ear. Of course I freaked out and had to whip my dog (for well being an animal) to get her to stop EATING THE CALF. It took me weeks to get over the fact my best friend; my dog was so evil. Then one day, a month after this happened I was about to go outside and fuss at Tracey for being around the calf. Then, I noticed Tracey was just standing there, and the calf was sucking on her ear. I grabbed the video camera and this is the images I filmed. I guess Tracy accepted that this was a calf we didn't eat, she was "family" like her, how she understood that other meat we eat and this meat we don't is beyond me. But for the next 4 months these two animals went everywhere together.
Baby Obama lived for 6 months, after she broke out of the yard (The neighbors didn't like that) and weighted close to or over 500 pounds I had to put her in the field with the other cattle. A 500 pound cow produces a lot of "MESS" and when it's in your garden or porch it's not cute (MEANING THE NEIGHBORS YARD, PORCH, GARDEN). Though, I was not able to teach her things that a mother cow could, and for her age she was very small. Meek. The other cows killed my baby Obama, because she was an outcast. She was not included in their pack. Yes cows travel in packs. She was the weakest cow and was trampled/tossed for a salt block. No I did not witness this or see it happen.
We do eat meat, and we do raise cattle. We DON'T butcher cows we RAISE CALF'S and sell them at an auction. I posted this video because it is cute, but it in no way shows true animal instinct. The dog is getting her ear scratched and licking any milk she can from the cows mouth. The cow is trying to get milk from the dog's ear.
In this wide world we cannot relate everything to a human's point of view. Animals are different from us and they have needs but they also have genetic programmed brains. Yes we need to protect them from cruelty, but we also have to understand nature is cruel. So until people who preach about protecting animals start providing the funds then NATURE WILL RUN ITS COURSE.
Tracey is still alive; in 2009 she was hit by a car the driver was so distributed she paid the entire hospital bill even though I asked her not to. Tracy dog is 6 years old now and doing fine. She still hunts frogs, enjoys stealing sweet feed from the cows, and sun bathing in the driveway. All the cows I have been around this was the first and only cow that I was not scared of. Cows that are not hand raised are not friendly and you can never predict an animal's behavior.
I will be revising this as I see fit; to answer repeated questions and clarify for the disbelievers that animals are different from humans. One cute little video can bring out so much HATE AND RAGE! My goodness people channel that toward something good. Volunteer, donate, and adopt something.
