Baby Cow Sweetly Gives Pregnant Horse a Kiss in Moment of Pure Love
This mom-to-be is surrounded by love! Katie Van Slyke was so touched when she saw the affection her pregnant horse received. The mare was just hanging out in her stall when she was approached by some baby cows. And their loving interaction has people feeling emotional.
Van Slyke really captured something special in the video. It's not everyday that you see three animals bonding like these guys did.
The animal lover explained that the video was recorded a year ago. But it's a good reminder of how well animals can get along.
The footage shows the mare, Maggie, greeting what looks like two baby Highland Cows named Posie and Pumpkin. They're so cute! They approached the horse with caution, and then gently gave her a sniff. The baby then gave the mom-to-be the sweetest little lick, which in cow language is the same as giving her a smooch. Awww, so sweet!
"Watch my pregnant horse get kissed by my baby cow," the video's caption reads.
People in the comments section were cracking up over the kiss. "I love when animals do the sniffs and one goes 'and tongue,'" one person wrote. "The two calves are just walking around like little kids exploring," someone else pointed out. "Maggie was like 'well that was new' lmao," teased another person. "I have never needed a baby cow so bad in my entire life," one commenter admitted.
Do Cows and Horses Get Along?
Horses and cows, so similar but pretty darn different — right? As much as they might have in common, horses and cows are two totally different animals. So can they really get along? The answer is yes!
Cows make excellent companions to cows. Plus they aren't really that much extra work. It's their similarities that make them easy to raise together. They eat the same kinds of food and both like to live either in a barn or in a pasture.
Both animals tend to be social creatures, so horses and cows can give each other some much-needed companionship too. There are even health benefits to raising a cow and horse together. The two animals carry different internal parasites to each other, so when raised together these different parasites can disrupt the other's lifecycle, which can keep the infestation under control.
Of course, there might be a learning curve when introducing two animals of different species. But there is a higher chance that your cow and your horse will be perfectly content pals.
