That's great! I think the first time my wife (then girlfriend) visited my parents' house, we had a cow that had a hurt foot to give birth, so we got to pet that calf since the mother was preoccupied with her hurt foot. She ended up caring for the calf with no problems, though!

They are fun to pet and interact with when they're so small. It's hard to believe they grow to be so large! Thanks for your comment!
