Cow Feeds Baby Goats
In November 2009, a cow in Orissa province of India, attracted medida’s attention for her exhibition of love and affection.
The cow in the Jagatsinghpur village of Orissa became a celebrity for feeding two baby goats. Hundreds of onlookers were visiting the village, about 80 km from state capital Bhubaneswar, to witness this rare sight. The owner, Manguli Bhoi’s cow was feeding the goats for half an hour every day and licking them clean.
Mr Bhoi is the owner of both the cow and the goats. He has one shed where he keeps his livestock. One of the goats gave birth to four kids three months ago. She rejected and stopped feeding two of them a month later as she was weak and not able to produce enough milk.

Cows long ago resolved that very contentious issue, care of the young. Any herd with several calves has a crèche or calf care centre. Calves gather in a selected spot under the watchful protection of two or three cows. The rest of the mammas go off happily grazing, confident that their little ones are safe. Childcare isn’t a feminist plot; it’s female wisdom in the bovine species.

The hungry babies approached the cow and she readily offered them her milk. People around were astonished to see the baby goats get nourishment from the cow.
Hundreds of people from nearby villages have been thronging to witness this unique display of love and affection by the cow.
Vedic literatures rightly put it, ‘gavo visvasya matarah’, cow is the mother of all living beings in this universe.

In India, the cow is considered sacred not because Indian people are primitive worshipers of mythological totems but because Hindus intelligently understand that the cow is a mother. As children, nearly all of us were nourished with cow’s milk, and therefore the cow is one of our mothers. Certainly one’s mother is sacred, and therefore we should not kill the sacred cow. |
