Rounding up the herd to separate the cows from their calves can be a noisy business. While visiting friends on a Colorado cattle ranch we watched as the herd made its way to the holding pens where the calves were loaded into trailers and hauled away. Then the cows were turned back out into the pasture.
A cow will call for her calf for days after they are separated.
This breed of cattle originated in France and is called Limousine.

Moo!
Holy cow!
How sad. And the other side of the equation is that the calves probably call for their mothers as well.
That's really sad. :(

Oh my that is kind of sad isn't it?
We are all of the same opinion, very sad.
I can imagine the noise. What mother takes lightly separation from a child? Provocative photos, especially the last one.
The cows definitely wouldn't like that.
The Limousine live close to us (around two hours drive perhaps) I'll try to portray them on a future trip in that direction. I should bring the Limousine your picture to show them how lazy they are eating and exercising... :-)
Being a mother is pretty hard at times.
This must be quite a sight! Love that face!!
