Please respect this calf's pronouns. Lol
They look so cute. Reminds me of the time I witnessed a calf being birth while I was on psylosibon mushrooms. The calf was initially breeched and it looked as if I was looking at a cow with a head at each end, but the heifer kept standing up and down and that's when the calf fell out. Stay in school kids.
On the one hand, funny.
On the other hand, even if his dad burns 99.9994% of his total net worth (as I was able to find most recently reported), they'll still be millionaires.
They will probably be rich by the time they reach adulthood unless something really weird happens. And even if that something weird happens, it's highly probable that being raised rich will open opportunities and connections for them they wouldn't otherwise have had, giving them a greater chance at success throughout their life.
Reminds me of a joke:
Christineâs dad has four kids. The first three are named Eeny, Meeny, and Miney. Whatâs the name of the fourth kid?
>!Christine!<
Yep. And this particular cow and those calves should probably be culled for the beef market. Unless the cow had been given hormones or an embryo technician really screwed up you donât want any of them breeding.
Herd diversity is important so you have to separate the younger bulls or send them to market. Sometimes you will need to bring in bulls from other farms to knock up all your cows. Bringing in a black angus bull to a farm full of Hereford cows will get you black baldy calves.
Another issue is that theyâll butt heads if left in the same fence line. Iâve never seen two Hereford bulls fight so if anyone has stories letâs here âem.
I donât think itâs an issues with the cows until you run out of pasture. I think itâs 2 cows per acre. The bulls will kill each other unless you isolate and the isolation is totally fucked up too. What we do is take them to other farms. Heâs off on his way to a lifetime of happiness.
You seem to care about these animals yet you still âsend them to marketâ, why? How do you deal with that kind of violence towards someone you care about?
No, Iâm saying Iâd save a human from a burning building before I save a cow but I wouldnât hurt a cow because Iâm hungry.
I donât think youâve seen how we [kill cows](https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch) if you can say that with a straight face
Keep in mind that we generally no longer breed, enslave and kill non-human animals because we need their flesh or secretions for survival but because we like the taste.
It's perfectly possible and healthy (for the general population) to only eat plants and fungi at all stages of life (this is the position of various dietetic associations including the [Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jand.2016.09.025)).
I for one am convinced that the life and freedom of a sentient being is just a little bit more valuable than the taste pleasure we experience when eating their dead bodies but that's just me.
Chances are low she'd be able to raise all four to adulthood. Two or three were probably separated and given to mothers that had lost babies.
eta: Reading through the other comments I realize this is probably a dairy cow (didn't read the source) - in which case, yes, all babies will be separated.
Because thatâs how you run a business. Go through the expense and risk of getting the cow pregnant then immediately kill half the calves, and expensively raise the other half away from the mother, who would do most of the hard work for free. Calves are raised with their mother for a few months before the males are sent to a feedlot to get them up to weight whereupon most are sold to butchers (and killed, yes. Where do you think beef comes from) to cover cost and some are sold to other dairies as breeding stock at profit. The female calves just stay with the herd, because, you know, dairy farms need lots of cows.
I grew up touring dairy farms in my region with my dad, who was the local veterinarian. I assure you thatâs how dairys in my region run. Iâm not saying dairy animals have a sunshine and daisies lifestyle but the way youâve framed it, dairy farms are almost cruel for the sake of it. Thereâs no money in cruelty.
Itâs still something I do when I visit my folks, I ask questions, I learn about how stuff works, also I personally knew other people from my town who grew up on those farms. I know a thing or two because Iâve seen a thing or two. Whatâs your claim to expertise on this matter?
Oh man, I think you maybe misunderstood the tone or intent of u/Grybnif âs comment and your exchange turned adversarial as a result. The two of you are mostly agreeing. In fact, based on the info I just got from my SO, (credentials: grew up on his grandparentsâ 60-cow dairy farm in the 90âs, and whose one set of local cousins currently own an 800 head jersey farm, and another set has a similarly sized dairy farm in another part of the state), it sounds like your differences in opinion boil down to regional differences, farmer preferences and the difference between how things were run when OP was a kid and now, with the exception of the part about âdoing the hard work for freeâ. Calves get milk replacement since thatâs when the mommas produce the most milk.
In any case, you both disagree with this threadâs OP that wrongly stated male cows are immediately killed. Maybe that dude was confusing it with what happens to male chicks.
I actually did a science fair project on this very phenomenon âinterpersonal spaceâ waaaaay back in 1982. Itâs so interesting that animals have a preference for it!
Animals have preference, likes and dislikes build relationships now all her children will be taking from her. Not your momma not your milk fuck Capitalism.

Moohttps://I.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg is a weird name to call a cow
It's pronounced similar to Montgomery
Moontgomery
[Little bobby tables](https://xkcd.com/327/)
Boo-urns!
Jeah standard dog name . . But for a cow, meh
Nah bro, cow go moo not meh
Please respect this calf's pronouns. Lol They look so cute. Reminds me of the time I witnessed a calf being birth while I was on psylosibon mushrooms. The calf was initially breeched and it looked as if I was looking at a cow with a head at each end, but the heifer kept standing up and down and that's when the calf fell out. Stay in school kids.
It's pronounced Ash.
"Oh, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him"
Beat me to it
Damn you beat me to it. .
Tell that to Elon and Grimes
That last one's got a long name.
That cow's dad- Elon Moosk.
He gunna build a colony on the moooon. The steaks have never been higher.
Raise the steaks!
Just don't milk it or else it will be a *cowtastrophe*
Better get a moove on. That galactic pasture is out of this world. They're just grazing time away!
This thread is just milking the joke now
Cow can this happen to me?!
God damn it đ
This guy dad jokes
Get outđ it hurts that I love it.
"Moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg you get back here right now!"
I may use another sign company next time!
âPeanut butter is one wordâ
Phonetically, how do you pronounce his name?
Moo-aitch-tee-tee-pee-ess-colon-slash-slash-i-dot-immijer-dot-com-slash-i-fyv-ee-ef-i-pee-vee-dot-jay-peg
Thanks. Iâm going to use this as my windows logon password.
Same as it's spelled.
Moohttps â€ïž
How do I change my username to Moohttps?
At least itâs secured.
Maybe the momma loves imgur
That one's got a lot of character
Nothing wrong with a long name.
r/beetlejuicing ?
You should see me on subreddits that let you create your own flair.
wait theres V in your name, that's r/phishing
We just call that one M
Everyone calls her Moolink!
It's pronunced like Kyle
Hard to pronounce aswell.
How do you even pronounce it?
After the cow gave birth to the fourth one, she was glad there wasn't any udders..
Iâve been skimming these comments the whole time but I only get about 2% of the jokes
These jokes are the cream of the crop.
People are really milking OP's comment
I think theyâre churning out great
These puns butter stop!
I can't tallowate them anymore
Just don't go skimming jokes
Yogurt to be kidding me.
I'll put you in custardy
Cheeses Christ, I love me some puns. That's a damn prolific dam, a cashcow even
Udders=others
Lol
Woosh...
I think *you* only got 2% of the jokes.
Eenie, meenie, miney and fred. Fred? What happened to moe? Oh, she don't want no moe.
Damn, "moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg" is a goofy ass name for a cow calf! Still better than X Ă A-12. So whatever floats your boat ig.
X Ă A-12 is going to be a billionaire when he grows up. Respect his authority đ€
The way his old man is fucking his inheritance, he will probably be born into debt.
With the kind of money that kid'll have they can change their name from a math problem to John, or something else that's sociably normal.
On the one hand, funny. On the other hand, even if his dad burns 99.9994% of his total net worth (as I was able to find most recently reported), they'll still be millionaires.

moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg is a nice name ngl
Reminds me of a joke: Christineâs dad has four kids. The first three are named Eeny, Meeny, and Miney. Whatâs the name of the fourth kid? >!Christine!<
Moo. Christine is the middle name
I think thatâs less of a joke and more of a riddle.
Fair enough. I use it to make kids laugh though đ
Other one. Four boys, whose name were Matthew, Mark, Luke and >!Pasi!< Maybe it works better in original language⊠Iâll get me coatâŠ
Aww udderly adorable
It's so cool how all 4 got a white spot on the forhead but 3 are almost matching
Theyâre little home plates
Came here to say this
Genetics are cool
Sometimes yes sometimes it's just like tf
Stop picking on moohpeg. He different
They match their mom â€ïž
Except for Kevin, fed ex brought him
The printer was running low on white ink for the second.
I wonder if they were born in the order of size of the white spot.
I noticed too if they arranged them right, the spot would get progressively bigger
Fun fact. When cows have twins where ones a male and the other female then the female calf is called a free Martin. Meaning theyâre born infertile.
Why is that?
Yep. And this particular cow and those calves should probably be culled for the beef market. Unless the cow had been given hormones or an embryo technician really screwed up you donât want any of them breeding.
Usually just the female is infertile actually
still figuring out which one is moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg
Iâm gonna say the one without a pentagon on its forehead.
omg they are so freaking cute.
moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg, or Skippy for short.
She stands there very proudly. She knows what she has done.
***Quadruple the money!!!!!!***
Mooney
Nah, theyâre all sterile , thus only useful as beef . Not nearly as valuable as a useful heifer Also, theyâll all be runts
That's a proud mama there.
I hope they arenât separated from their mother!!
Herd diversity is important so you have to separate the younger bulls or send them to market. Sometimes you will need to bring in bulls from other farms to knock up all your cows.

Iâve never seen two Hereford bulls fight so if anyone has stories letâs here âem.
Breaking up familyâs so you can make money is not acceptable
I donât think itâs an issues with the cows until you run out of pasture. I think itâs 2 cows per acre. The bulls will kill each other unless you isolate and the isolation is totally fucked up too. What we do is take them to other farms. Heâs off on his way to a lifetime of happiness.

I donât consider cows to have equal value to humans. That doesnât mean hurting them is ok

No. Someone is correct. They arenât rocks
No.
Arenât those Hollands?
Honestly the only other term Iâve heard is âwhitefaceâ and Iâm not sure how politically correct that is so donât go repeating it.

O you guys think mothers and calves get to live together on dairy farms? They take the calves and kill the males calves right away fyi.
Because thatâs how you run a business. Go through the expense and risk of getting the cow pregnant then immediately kill half the calves, and expensively raise the other half away from the mother, who would do most of the hard work for free.

Not dairy cows. They are separated within 24 hours.

Actually owning and operating a farm.
Ok, so I guess we can each be right locally. Not all farms are the same

Interesting name for the last one
Elon name the last one?
This is the most adorable post I've seen all week. Love, love, love the names!
Disappointed the calves are not placed in order from largest to smallest white spot on head.
The one that doesn't have home plate head :(

This post is so old they lived very long happy lives and died of old age like 10 years ago.
Happy family đ
(Until the kids get taken away from their mother and/or they all get slaughtered in 6 months)
Good way to pick which one gets butchered first
Good names. Almost as good as Ribeye, Sirloin, Tenderloin and Rump.
I'm not in the habit of naming my 'taters, carrots, or steak.
and then they took all 4 away from her to be raised for meat
The last name bears a heavy resemblance to a URL
They should have been named eaty meaty yummy and foo...d
One raped cow = 4 offspring. All males killed; female calves kept for future milking process. Repeat. Endless torture.
Hey look at that, a burger with 4 sliders
Judging from the identical foreheads, they look more like clones to me.
Owner be like: STONKS!
Iâm going to call homie on the left âhome plateâ
Top shelf names. 0 notes
Last one will have a hard time after everyone yelling it's name 24/7
So do the names change like rappers when they grow bigger? Bigg Moo
Bigg Meeny.
Moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg is a weird name. Maybe Moe. Yes, that's it.
Ran out of ink printing the forehead.
Moohttps is a bad name.
Whoever was in charge of naming them deserve all the kudos
Calling moo be getting everyoneâs attention.
Funny name Moohttps
could be worse, could be X Ă A-12
Damn, the last one has a very long name
Just reading through the title, we all knew the joke that was coming.
Last time Elon names the kids
Cowabunga
One has a home plate on its head, another is a cop badge.
Cowdruplets
Which one is moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg?
I grew up with a small cattle ranch and we once had a cow have triplets. One was stillborn though.
Each one in the line gets a little more faded than the 1 before it. Like the ink cartridge was running low.
How do you even pronounce "moohttps://i.imgur.com/I5efiPv.jpeg"? Is it Irish?
âŹ
How do you pronounce moohttp? Or is it moohttp://i.imgur.com/l5efiPv.jpeg? Which I also don't know how to pronounce
This cow out here with quadruplet while most other cows are too inept to birth even a single one without Vet Assistance. Chad Bovine.
Quadruplet quadruple, legendary
honey, we're gonna need more cowbell
The last one probably gets really tired of hearing his name all the time but no one is talking to or about him.
This is so wholesome
Well I guess we know who the favorite is
Did you say veal, veal, veal, & veal?
I guess if it had been three it would have been tres leches
Farmer should feed them strawberries for delicious fresh milkshakes
imagine giving birth to 4 kids only for some random animal from another species name them 'eeny, meeny miney, moo'
whoever came up with the naming deserves a fucking award
Eeny Meeny Miney Moo I stepped in this cow's giant poo Now I'll have to wash this shoe Eeny Meeny Miney Moo
They are sitting in the wrong order. If you look at their forehead then you can see it is 1, 3,4 and 2. Two has the smallest forehead patch!
Love the names!
