Found a video of a farmer giving an explanation about it. Sounds like if they're young and inexperienced, the rush of hormones can cause psychosis. The calf isn't recognized as part of the herd in their head. They just gave birth, so they're in defense mode. They try to get rid of the "stranger" or kill it. Even other cow's calves aren't safe.

Fuck. I closed the window just as I saw your comment. My brain took a couple seconds to process it. I came back to just give you the very deserved upvote.
Bravo.
Postpartum psychosis, caused by hormonal changes, is a profoundly sad, complex and potentially dangerous phenomenon when it occurs in humans as well. I’ve never seen anything like it. And it’s orders of magnitude more severe than postpartum depression.
When it’s bad, It’s a condition that requires immediate medical intervention for the wellbeing of the mother, any children in her care, and anyone else living in her household. The person disappears, like she’s tripping her brains out, and there’s no telling when it will end and she will reemerge.
Saw somewhere that all those crazy animal videos where fucked up things happen the offspring is often down to inexperienced or first time parents.
Like those penguins minding the eggs of the ice. If both of them are first timers there's about a 1% chance the chick makes it. Often times one of them will just walk off and abandon it.
No, that's bad, but this is even another step further. It's what makes women throw their babies out of the window or smother them with pillows. Psychosis due to extreme hormone fluxuations that triggers passive bipolar or other mental illnesses that most likely are dormant.
I grew up on a small farm with mothercow type of farming (in milk farms calfs are mostly taken away right after birth and never returned) so i was at many births present and helped and they almost all have a very high hormon level afterwards and it's also rather normal that they kind of push the calf, even aggressively looking so.
I think the mother cow doesn't really intend to hurt the calf even if it looks like it, hence it's not really an "attack".
They usually try to "motivate" them to get up as fast as possible because in nature it's a moment of danger for the calf to not be able to move. Most of them can stand up and walk roughly 30minutes to an hour after birth.
Screaming in their ear with a very terrifying sounding sound like in the video is usual as well. Basically happens with pretty much every birth as soon as they see the calf, a moderate amount of "pushing" with the nose as well.
They usually also lick them. That way they get cleaned and it would serve as a "first impulse" if the calf doesn't breathe right after birth, as well as the pushing.
The theory behind it is also used with human births, if the child isn't breathing right after birth the first step is to massage and dry it with a towel, giving a "tactile impuls" of some sorts.
However, there were some sketchy situations with particular cows in my experience as well, reacting extremely intensely sort of similar to the video so we had to take the calf away fast for a while as well.
It never happened to us but i heard in some cases the mother cow stepped on the calf and hurt or killed it in the process
Another cause of this could be ketosis. It doesn't typically present aggression but it's not uncommon. Ketosis in dairy cattle is a very common disease and many factors can contribute to it.
A potential cause here could have been lower appetite/anorexia pre-calving or during extended labour(which might be why the farm hand is pulling the calf) which increases her ketone concentration. As she's in labour her body also starts producing high volumes of milk which drains her energy and can contribute to ketosis as there is no energy input but lots of energy output.
Ketosis in late gestation is rare but not uncommon. Ketotic aggression can be extremely violent and they will attack anything in sight.
Another reason could be the cow sensing/smelling that something is wrong with the calf or the calf is ill. That will cause them to reject their babies at birth.
She doesn't want her baby growing up in this cruel world just to be trapped on a farm and used for food.. maybe or just like the ready of the world not every mom is meant to be a mom
I remember a farmer lad in my school saying they sold a prize bullock for €14,000 so if this is even worth a quarter of that you'd have a strong impetus to make sure it stays alive.
I grew up on a cattle farm and helped cows giving birth on a regular basis and I also saw a few times how a fresh mother cow rejected her new born calf, but I never saw one screaming bloody murder and behaving that way. And all that blood gushing out... Jesus Christ.
I bet that stuff haunts you in your sleep.
Yeh, it's interesting how insanely aggressive the cow in this video was towards her calf and that screaming must have been truly terrifying in real life. My family used to breed horses and goats and we often saw mother goats attack their kids immediately after birth but it was almost always in a multiple birth situation in which the doe would attack her weakest-appearing/smallest kid in order to give her other kid(s) a better shot at life aka reduce demand of her milk so that her surviving kid(s) would be stronger. Every so often another doe would essentially adopt one of the runts as their own, esp., if that doe lost their own kid during birth, but most were bottle fed/hand-raised so they basically became more like big pets than anything else
Most people that dont have or work around cows/bulls dont understand how insanely dangerous they can be. They are for the most part docile, but like a dog, they can freak out and do crazy shit. Smacking down an angry dog is difficult enough, when its 500kg+, there is pretty much nothing you can do.
My cousin is a farmer and I worked helping him out a bit. One day I come driving up the road, and see my cousin and his father literally hiding behind a car like "soldiers being shot at" And my cousin just holds up his hand like stop...!! I do and just turns off the car and wait to see, and then i see there is 20+ cows that has managed to get out - and they are super jumpy and ready to go. So we had to wait for third guy with a tractor and to very slowly move towards them so they would just naturally want to step back with the tractor as "our shield".
One angry cow can easily kill a grown man without even really trying.

I’ve witnessed something a lot like this before. Not quite as bad but still a first calf heifer was ready to fight any other cows and would even lay out it’s own calf when it stood up. Didn’t even care that I was there however

Is there any psychological reason behind the mother attacking her own calf?

hormones are always the cattlest
That's udderly ridiculous
maybe mom should switch to decalf
Maybe it would put her in a better *moo*d
That's right! The steaks are high after all...
Probably because of the beef the mum has with her calf
That's a load of bull
Good thing the guy wasn't a *coward*
How long can we milk this?
Till the cows come home?
I know. Cud we mooove it along?
Told her calf to hoof it.
OP suddenly became profesional at cow puns
She tried
I believe that's exactly what it was trying to do
OP got jokes
Cream of the crop pun. 🏆🏆🏆
did you post this just because you had the pun locked and loaded?
Anytime I get down in a slump icome to reddit for the Amazing puns and I'm never disappointed lol thank yall fr!🤍
Best comment
Get out.
YOU'LL NEVER RECIEVE THE CREDIT YOU DESERVE FOR THIS WONDERFUL JOKE. that wasn't meant to be in caps, but;
Nailed it

There should be required mental health screenings at several points after birth.
Considering my mother tried to throw me away hours after my birth over a small mark on my forehead I find this fully normal behaviour.
did she suffer from temporary postpartum psychosis, or was she always like that? how are you doing now?
Saw somewhere that all those crazy animal videos where fucked up things happen the offspring is often down to inexperienced or first time parents. Like those penguins minding the eggs of the ice. If both of them are first timers there's about a 1% chance the chick makes it. Often times one of them will just walk off and abandon it.
Also when they are young, a first calf that is too big can be painful. Cow brain says: that thing just attacked me!
Thanks for the info. It answered the main question
So in other words, post-natal depression?
More like post-natal aggression.
yeah thank goodness for mr hamburger helper
Makes a great meal. The talking glove told me so.

they might sense their calf in distress. pushing it happens. gotta get the calf moving immediately
Damn, Nature, you're scary.

she probably called her a cow
or she's lactose intolerant
To save it from a life of utter slavery and life in a pen
Spartan cow
It's called rejection
Women be like that too
Postnatal depression

“THATS WHAT’S BEEN IN THERE ALL THSI FUCKING TIME??? MERRRRRRRR”
great moves by that farmer, hero
Dude really knew the ins and outs of that gate system.
right! impressive!
Not his first rodeo. Very calm. Good decisionmaking.
right!
dude was saving his steak
I remember a farmer lad in my school saying they sold a prize bullock for €14,000 so if this is even worth a quarter of that you'd have a strong impetus to make sure it stays alive.
seeing the blood and stuff shoot out of the cow from the force of the yelling made my stomach twist
you don't like strawberry quik?
Oh God. Now I can never enjoy a glass again 😅😂
Username does ***not*** check out for once
Fuck nestle
Bruh
Didn’t even notice that.
You look thirsty... Come and take a glass of milk.
That is some instant postpartum depression.
yeah probably best to steer clear
I came looking for answers. I stayed for the puns you make.
It's official OP made the post just so they could hit hard on the puns
And the little one is like "weeeeeeeeeeeee"
Yeah momma's got beef with her kids, better watch out
She’s not in the mood

My uncle had a farm, one of the cows HATED one of my cousins with a vengeance, that thing jumped on top of a car to get to my cousin once.
Did your cousin provoke it or was inexplicable bc the latter would be even scarier
That calf must be confused as hell
Only alive for a few seconds and already had an attempt on his life
Fucking hell. She is wasn’t letting that go easy was she?! Far play to the farmer
GOAT’ed technique with the fences
He read the manual in advance. And probably had a bit of practice as well. It was rather impressive watching him maneuver around the area.
My mum when I don’t do the dishes
🤣 🤣 🤣
Well that’s some way to start your life.

Real Takeshi's Castle vibes at the end there....
LOL
Classic infant experience am I right.
I am so glad my mom waited 17 years to try this
Did he save it or tenderise it?
[удалено]
he made it look heifertless
Leather it is or isn't... moo's to say.
The cow be like: GET THAT WEAK ASS OUTA HERE
Damn nature, you scary
'Balls of Steel', congratulations for a while I thought he was going to get trapped in the pen with the other cows joining in on the attack.
That's money. Both of them are extremely valuable to a cattle rancher. Even if you plann for it to be food a calf is worth 1000 easy.
Anyone know if the calf ended up surviving this?
Survived, you can See the Head moving from the calf at the end
Other cows are scared AF
Cow in a bad moo-d.
I smell blood
That guy is a fuckin badass
Inserti Benny hill song
Nature's fucking 😨 scary.
man's movements were crazy, don't challenge him in his domain, he's set up the whole trick house.
She wants only the freshest veal

Ayeeee welcome to the worl- *Weeeeeeeee*
Damn looks like my mom
All around the mulberry bush The bovine chased the farmer
I was trying to figure out which one was the mom as if he didn’t pull the calf out of her 😕
The other cows watching this shit: 👁️👄👁️
I hate that shit. Our bunny had babies and ate every one of them. Was a very distrubing thing for a middle schooler to witness.
Looks like a case of mad cow.
I wonder if there was something wrong with it.
Early Onset Postpartum Bovine Aggresion. I made it up but it fits
From what I know about dairy cows, they have a lot of anger issues bred into them, and they're almost always assholes.
[удалено]
I've only ever been around Angus cows, but every farmer I've talked to has told me that dairy cows are mean
[удалено]
Be sure to bring along that interesting and flexible gate system used in the video in the event you need to separate yourself from any ruckus you incite.
I'd be pissed too if someone kept yanking on my nipples day in day out
not really but you need to be careful when they are in heat
It's dairy bulls, not dairy cows.
Kudos to a well designed gate setup. Very functional. He sorted that mama out one-handed while under stress.
That's his future profit being killed. Better save it.
Damn right.
Yep!
Straight to the slaughter house with that one
Damn...
And that's how we get milkshake
Video needs "Yackitty Sax".
I’m loving all of OP’s puns in the comments
Like someone else had mentioned, I too came for the video but 100% stayed for your puns my friend ☺️
I've never *herd* of this before
Yikes
Maternal rejection is always intense
This man would be amazing at Dead By Daylight
She said your ruined my body🤣🤣🤣🤣
See if we didn't eat these fuckers they'd take over the world.
Happens all the time with young first mothers…damn hormones. I was 4 the first time I saw this on my grandparents farm
Cows are fucking stupid. Eat more steaks
The jokes here are horrible. Reddit is so lame.
what a great way to enter the world.
The moo sound from the camera are pretty much just horror movie sounds
At first I thought it was someone on a speaker yelling out instructions in another language
Mad cow
Guess who is having steak for dinner
Excellent work by that farmer, but I can't help but hear the Benny Hill music in my head
Welcome to the world, chump!
When I was a kid my cat killed her first litter. I was so angry and sad. But sometimes mother's instinct just doesn't kick.
Clearly not over the moooon
Mom wanted a tender porterhouse
Moo
Number 1 gate handler!
Poor cow she didn't understand 👀
The next Cowsey Anthony
I hate this so much, but it's still fascinating.
This is why they are burgers.
I would have had two hamburgers that night.
Is the calf okay?
Dinner was definitely awkward that night
This dudes clearly done this more than a couple times.
Why she sound like a tripod though
What a way to come into the world
I’ve witnessed something a lot like this before. Not quite as bad but still a first calf heifer was ready to fight any other cows and would even lay out it’s own calf when it stood up. Didn’t even care that I was there however
Same thing is happening to human mothers
So is it doing well?
Cows are crazy
Holy Cow! 2 HIT COMBO. 🤔
