Motherly instincts aren’t just instilled in human mothers. Animal moms also have the same motherly instincts that drive new moms to help protect their newborns and young. Cow moms are animals that tend to feel connected to their newborns. This maternal behavior has a lot to with hormones released when a cow is pregnant and gives birth.

Whole Lotta Love

Cow moms also might not feel connected to their young until they are born. Dr. Joseph Stookey, a professor at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon who studies large animal clinical science has said,

“The cow is most receptive to wanting a newborn calf when she gives birth,”

When this motorcyclist from Millbrook, Ontario stopped by a local farm to record the beautiful cattle in the field he found a very unusual sight.

“Hey Mr. Motorcyclist!”

The motorcyclist often visited the farm recording the cows with his GoPro. But today was going to be a little different as he noticed a momma cow staring him down exhibiting bizarre behavior. The man couldn’t figure out exactly why this cow was mooing and staring at him for so long.

“Hey Guys We Think Somethings Wrong”

That’s when the other cows came to join the cow understanding that she may need some help. The man wasn’t exactly sure what was wrong with this cow until he walked closer towards her. That’s when the man noticed a white newborn calf on the other side of the fence.

Uh Oh!

This momma cow was terrified for her baby and needed all the help she could get. This momma cow is later known as ‘Flo’ and she had just given birth to her baby. Flo had been right next to the fence when she gave birth to her newborn and that’s when the calf slipped from underneath the fence.

Rescue Missions A Go

Thankfully the electric fence was at a low voltage so it didn’t harm the calf. But it was up to the motorcyclist to help save the day! So the man observed carefully what how he could get her calf back through the fence without alarming the mother. Flo was immediately comforted by the fact that the man was trying to help her newborn.

A Hero Indeed

While he helped Flo get her calf back into her care the man recorded the hung his GoPro up to record the rescue mission. You can see the man carefully push the newborn underneath the wire fence, making sure he didn’t harm the calf. After the man’s efforts the calf was finally reunited with momma Flo. Although the calf could hardly stand with his newborn legs he was happy to back safe. Flo was also more than delighted to have her baby back.

“Thank MOO Mr. Motorcyclist!”

The man later went to tell the owners of the farm what happened so they could check on Flo and her calf. When the man came back to see them he was surprised to see both Flo and her calf recognized the heroic motorcyclist. The footage is so heartwarming! Just a normal day enjoying the farm turned into an epic rescue mission for this man and thankfully he was there to help Flo and her calf!
